Brief Summary for Participant – KIT # 47499 > > Oldest Proven Campbell Ancestor: George Washington Campbell (abt. 1720) of Amherst/Nelson Co., VA, USA > > Summary: The earliest records show George Campbell living in Albemarle county, Virginia. He married Catherine (unknown) around 1745 and had 13 children. About 1761, he moved his family to Amherst County, VA and owned 480 acres in the Piney River area. When Nelson County was formed from Amherst, that 480 acres then became known as both counties as the river divides the two counties. Most of George’s descendants remained in Virginia but some did move away. Other surnames associated with this line are Goode, Wright, Cash, and Hudson. It is speculated that he may be the son of a Charles Campbell who come to Virginia from Ireland, accumulated his wealth here and then moved back to Ireland where he married, had children and died. It is speculated that his son George Campbell came back to Virginia, settled his estate in Virginia and remained. > > Line to Present Day Participant: > 1.
