My friend and cousin A. T. Powell, Jr kindly sent me a website which had posted a copy of the Will of George Campbell, which is in Will Book 1, page 334, of Amherst Co VA records. This is the man who was married to Margaret. This is the man that some researchers have said was the Father of George Campbell, who married Caty. The Will is written 11-1-1776, and it is probabted 5-5-1777. To see the Will, go here: http://www.gencircles.com/users/bootsunc/1/data/255 The researcher is Wanda K. Gunther, and she appears to have alot of MADDOX family names. Now lets discuss this Will. From reading the exact wording of the Will, and the order in which the children are named, I think we can find some anwers. For example: the FIRST child named is Catherine, and she is awarded 20 pds. It has always been listed that this Catherine was born in 1745, and that she would be the FIRST child born to George Campbell b. 1700 and his wife Margaret Campbell b. 1725 (these birth years are aprox). As you see, there was a very big difference in ages between George and Margaret, almost a generation difference. Margaret would have been about 20 years old when she bore Catherine, and Catherine would have been about 31 years old when her Father wrote his Will. The SECOND child named is John , and we have listed him as born about 1748, and he died 1-25-1803 Greensville, VA. I have not researched this man, but I have wondered if he was the father of a girl named Polly (mary?) who married John Campbell, s/o George Campbell, Sr and Elizabeth? George Sr is s/o George Campbell and Caty. This second child named in the Will, is also the second child born, according to the birth years listed. He was born about 3 yrs after Catherine, and was 28 yrs old when his father's Will was written. John is awarded 15 pds. Now we come to the rest of the children listed: Elizabeth (b. 1752), Archibald (b. 1754), George (b. ?), Edley (b. 1761), Thomas (b. 1762), Margaret (b. 1768 twin), Ruth (b. 1768 twin). If you note the birth dates I have listed, they are in the EXACT birth order, starting from biggest to smallest, who are the Twin girls. In other words, looking at the exact order given in the wording of the Will, the names are in the Exact order of birth, from oldest to youngest. This must have been designed as such, and not by mere accident. As I can see it, this Will of George Campbell b. 1700 was written with the Birth Order noted, he gave his ELDEST child more than the rest, and he gave to his ELDEST son, John, the next largest amount listed. If this analysis is correct, then the son of George Campbell and Margaret, who they named George (jr), was born about 1755 to 1760 time frame. This George Campbell possibly left the Amherst Co VA area and that is why we don't know more about him. This would tend to throw a very heavy 'doubt' on the scenerio in which George Campbell b. 1720, who married Caty, could have been the ELDEST son of George, prior to his marriage to Margaret, who was 5 yrs younger than George Campbell who married Caty. I would love to hear from any researcher who is a descendant or connected to or just researching the children of George and Margaret. I come from George and Caty, and I would love to know who his parents are, but so far I see nothing to tie him to George and Margaret. Best regards, Lilly Martin
