I am still seeking information on ancestors of George Campbell b. 3 Jan 1778, NJ, d. 30 Oct 1854, Adams Co., OH, buried Flat Run Cemetery, Adams Co., OH, m. 15 Sep 1803 Adams Co., OH Catherine "Caty" Noland, b. 25 Nov 1779, d. 16 Aug 1842, buried Flat Run Cemetery, Adams Co., OH. According to a history of Adams Co., OH "George Campbell was born in New Jersey, January 3, 1778. His father was in the Revolutionary War and was wounded at the battle of Trenton, December 26, 1776, and died of the same in 1778." Any help will be appreciated. Earl in VA
Attention Campbell researchers looking at colonial NEW JERSEY families: www.bergencountyhistory.org/Pages/cchousehistory.html This will discuss the History, with photos, of the Campbell-Christie House, which still exisits in NJ. The house was originally built by a Willem Campbell, and Irish immigrant to NJ, I forgot to note the date, but may recall it was 1734?? when the house was built. The house was handed down to a Jacob Campbell, who sold it in May 1794 to my relative named Abraham Brouwer/Brower. That is what brought me to the website and story originally, I was not looking for Campbell information in New Jersey, since my Campbell ancestors were all in VA. My relative sold it to a John Christie, and that is where the name Campbell-Christie house comes from. P.S: I have done alot of research online for ancestors in New Jersey, I am sorry to say that most of the early years of Federal census for the Sate of New Jersey is LOST permanently. Does not exist. I seem to recall, itis 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820 which does not exist, but go ahead and check for yourselves. For example: look for Smith or Jones (which should be everywhere) if you get NO RETURNS, then you know the census for that year is gone. But to make up for that huge loss, the researchers in NJ have used TAX LISTS, which can 'double' for a census, and www.ancestry.com does have those searchable. That costs a fee, but also if you will subscribe to a mailing list for census look ups for New Jersey, then you can request free of charge look up for specific years, also fellow researchers reading specific mailing lists such as NJBERGEN-L would look for you, even at ancestry. Don't forget that you can access ancestry.com free of charge at all FHC. Best regards, Lilly Martin Hope this helps someone.
