There was an Ambrose Campbell (my ancestor) who was born in Scotland in 1740 and married Margaret (unkn surname). He served with the Amherst Co. militia and then in the regular army during the Rev. War. He was with the forces that fought at Yorktown under Gen. LaFayette who was a Gen. of George Washington's. He was in Yorktown at the surrender of Cornwallis. This Ambrose died in Nelson Co. in 1811. This area along the Piney River was, until 1808, part of Amherst Co, VA. Ambrose wife's name was Margaret, and his son, Tandy was my ancestor. His will named all of his children, and there is NO Ambrose Jr. nor a Sandy. His and Margaret's children were: Peter, Lucy, Rachel, Frances, Tandy, Elizabeth and Polly. Ambrose parents were HENRY CAMPBELL b. 1706 in Scotland, and CHARITY CAMPBELL (maiden name unkn.). Henry died in 1772 and is buried in the Campbell Cemetery at Bethal Place, Amherst Co., VA.

Records show that he was born in 1751 in Nelson County, VA and that he died on December 7, 1811, in Nelson County, VA, while living on one of the farms that he had inherited from his father.
