AT; Your best source for information on early settlers of Amherst and Nelson counties are the Alexander Brown papers (over 5,000) that are stored in the Swem Library, William and Mary University, Williamsburg. He has a listing of men in old Amherst (now Nelson County) that arrived there prior to 1761 (a lot of names include where the person lived and when he got there); those that became of age or arrived there between 1761 and 1776, plus he has a listing of personnel from that area who were soldiers in the revolutionary war(800 names I believe). A synopsis of the Brown papers are available on line through the Amherst web site - but I found that these records merely wets your appetite for what you get by going to the Swemm Library. While there you should take advantage of the papers in the Cabell's of Nelson County file of 3,400 papers. Of particular interest to you would be the muster roll of Major William Cabell soldiers from Amherst County, the Virginia Line, commanded by Major Cabell, Lt Colonel John Pope Jr, and Major General Marques Lafayette, dated 21 June 1781. Our George Campbell, my James Campbell and my James Ramsey, Moses Wright, etc are listed (most all the soldiers from the Piney River, Roseland, Massies Mill, area). This is a precious document hand written and signed by the Administrator of the Command at near the end of the RW. Also, a Charles Campbell has 5,000 plus papers in the Swem Library but he was from Petersburg and I expect far removed from our Clan. He was a business man and most of the papers would be copies of his business papers.
