My great-grandfather was David Taylor Campbell (b. 1864). He lived in Taylorsville, Alexander County, North Carolina with Eliza HOLLAR/HOLLER CAMPBELL (his mother) and his three siblings: Mary Grace CAMPBELL (b. 1862), Candace CAMPBELL (b. 1867) and Walter C. CAMPBELL (b. 1869). Now, let me back track. David HOLLAR (b. 1806) was married to Sarah ?. In the 1840 or 1850 census, they were listed in Lincoln County. I know Catawba broke off of Lincoln County. There are many HOLLARs and HOLLERs in Catawba County as well as many CAMPBELLs. David HOLLAR (sometimes spelled HOLLER) was originally born in Catawba County (then called Lincoln County, I believe) and is also buried there. The 1860 census shows his daughter, Eliza HOLLAR, living at home. The 1870 census shows his daughter, Eliza CAMPBELL, living at home with the above named four children born 1862, 1864, 1867, and 1869 listed as his grandchildren. They are also still living there in the 1880 census. However, there is never a father listed. Obviously, his last name was CAMPBELL. However, I can find no records of a marriage, death, or divorce. In fact, in one of the censuses, Eliza is listed as married. I just recently located a marriage certificate for her oldest daughter, Mary G. CAMPBELL, that listed her father’s name as “S. A. CAMPBELL”, born in North Carolina. But when it asks if the father is living or dead, it is recorded as “unknown”. I think I may have found one of the other children recently in Texas records. If so, Walter C. CAMPBELL listed his father as “Sandy CAMPBELL”, born in North Carolina. I’m still trying to solidify that connection. Has anyone researched CAMPBELLs in North Carolina? I want to trace my lineage further back, but have come to the proverbial roadblock.
