Dear Gloria, I found there are 7 distinct and unrelated Campbell families in Amherst and Nelson Co., VA. When I first started studying my Campbell ancestry, I thought that all the people named Campbell in Nelson and Amherst Co VA were all related somehow, but they are not. Some of the people named Campbell, who were neighbors and friends were not related to each other at all, but from very different ancestry, but only happened to have the same surname. The 7 men named Campbell, who are unrelated as far as documentation now exists are: 1. George Campbell, m. Margaret 2. George Campbell, m. Catherine (aka Caty) 3. James Campbell, Sr, m. Mary Smith 4. Henry Campbell , m. Charity 5. Lawrence Campbell, m. Henrietta 6. Francis Campbell, m. Isabelle 7. John Campbell, m. Amelia Coffey There is no known proof that these 7 men relate to each other, however there may indeed come forth proof later, which says that #2 above is the son of an early first marriage of #1 above. And perhaps #7 above is the son of an early first marriage of #6 above, and perhaps #3 is actually the son of #2 above. At this point in time I do not have proof to those supositions, so they remain doubtfull until proven. Also, there might be a relationship between #4 and #5, because they had some land deals between them, which might tend to say they were related, perhaps back in Scotland. As far as naming practices, the families all used some of the same names, even though they were from very different and unrelated ancestry. I wish names could be a better clue as to which group they came from, but it can not be counted on, since several groups, unrelated used the same name. One thing we know for sure, is that the name George is a real favorite!
