Are these Campbell descendants of our John or Patrick or was Alexander living in Essex in 1717 and John and Patrick his off springs? Any suggestions? Regards BH THIS IS GREAT ! Now lets take A look at the Fomation of the Counties in The TAPPAHONNOCK AREA Starting with Caroline County: Caroline 1729 Formed from ESSEX, King & Queen, & King William Counties <?> ESSEX 1692, Formed from OLD "Rappahannoc" County <Tappahannock> Old Rappahannock County no longer Exists. King & Queen 1691 Formed from New Kent County. Most records Destroyed 1864 in the civill War. KING & QUEEN> King William 1702 formed from KING & QUEEN County. Most records Destroyed in 1885 Whn a Member of the Lankford Family SET the King William Court House on FIRE KING William. For A fact A member Of my Late Brother in Law'S Family did set the KING William Court House on fire, That information is on line & in the Lankford Family BOOK. aAS Caroline county Came from So many counties IT Seems that a Close look at the Counties in this area & above ALL A thourg SEARCH of the Migrant inforation into Tappahannock is A MUST LOOK. NOT just our Campbell's But there are several of OUR Ancestrol Families LIVED in this AREA, I am ofthe OPINION that there is not enough attention given to OUR Connecting families, WHY? Just look at the GRAND MOTHER Elizabeth CATLETT Married to G, G, G, G, G, G, <BOSS JOSH> to Son G, Jesse Washington Campbell <MY LINE> I know that OUR RESEARCH stumbleswhen we forget OUR KIN FAMILIES because some OF the GRANNIES kept beter records that the Fathers Familes did, NO YA Think- well just Check CUZ Shirley Craft & Carrol Hite's Records Against any oneof the MALE;S information in OUR GROUP, AND I Will believe that OUR female ancestors Had A beter record than OLD Geroge, PLEASE CHECKit out it just so happened that way, giveing A REASON For NOT FORGETTING Our Affilated Families, ONE will never get the WHOLE Campbell story from JUST FROM THE CAMPBELL SIDE OF THE FAMILY. The all ways right mind set is anti FAMILY, WE NEED TO WORK TOGEATHER. CUZ AT <HOPEING>
