My final comment on this: Let's see a couple of messages ago you, AT, said that there were 2 Moses Campbells in Bedford County and used Ms. Morrison's data as evidence to support that statement. Ms. Morrison has stated that her ancestor was Moses and Jene Campbell, he dying in Bedford County in 1792. Now, you say there were 3 Moses Campbells in Bedford County!! Imagine that. I can't possibly understand your reasoning that any of the Moses Campbells in Amherst County couldn't be the one that went to Bedford. That statement is ludicrous. It sure appears that records substantiate that it is one and the same, Moses Campbell, Sr who makes the move. You make a statement that #1 and #2 Moses Campbells both born in Bedford County and #3 Moses Campbell from Amherst. I have no idea where any of these Moses Campbells were born but suspect #1 Moses Campbell might have been born in Caroline/Essex (?) County. I believe that Moses Campbell Jr. could easily have been born in Amherst County. I only know of 2 Moses Campbells relative to this discussion. You have inserted a new one here. For all we know Moses Campbell Sr. could have traveled from Caroline, Bedford, Augusta, Amherst and back several times. You also give years of birth and I have no idea what their real dates of birth might be. Everyone assumes that Moses Campbell Sr. was born about 1740 but it is entirely possible that he could have been born a few years earlier and been 21 years of age in 1749 and witnessed the will of George Campbell who died in Caroline Co. in 1749. Sure seems possible. You make note that "information is from my records". No, the information that I gathered was from actual county documents of Amherst and Bedford. If your information is better than that maybe you could just tell all of us what our family lines are and save us the time of doing the hard work of going through the actual documents and records. All you have to do is hit "search" as you say. It's easy to do that and all of us find bits and pieces that way. But, a lot is found by actually looking at the records, if there are any. IN BEDFORD COUNTY PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX RECORDS THERE IS NO MOSES CAMPBELL LISTED PRIOR TO 1789. The one listed in 1789 sure appears to be the same Moses Campbell who left Amherst County and relocated to Bedford. This move was made by himself, his sons, and yes, John Cash and wife Lucy. See the widow's statement made by Lucy Campbell Cash when she applied for her husband's pension. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT A PERSON WOULD BE "MISSED" IN TAX RECORDS FOR CLOSE TO 10 YEARS, A YEAR OR TWO MAYBE. THERE JUST WAS NOT A MOSES CAMPBELL IN ANY BEDFORD COUNTY RECORDS PRIOR TO 1789. I don't know of any other way to explain that to you. I suspect that you have copied your information from persons who made assumptions many years ago and you have given no thought to recent finds that indicate that some of that information just may be suspect. Heck, that happens all the time. Just look at our Campbell Kids project. Remember when you insisted that George and Margaret were the parents of George Campbell who married Caty? Just in the past few years has Shirley found the actual parents of George Campbell (d. 1791 Amherst) and put that one to rest. People are always updating information. It is no reflection on the work of others it is just that, updated information. Prior to Shirley telling you and all of us that George Campbell was born in Caroline County no one spoke of it. But, there were lots of posts listing all kinds of wild stories about his family and you know about those. I could kick myself every time I answer one of your "misleading" statements because all you do is use it to assail people and make everything even more difficult. I can see why people are hesitant to share information with you. I guess this is how you get your kicks!! I will make no more comments on this subject. If you want to believe there were 3 Moses Campbells in Bedford County in the late 1700's please do so and state that it is AT's opinion, not fact. I state that my opinion, which is supported by documents in Amherst and Bedford County, that there were 2 Moses Campbells in Bedford County in the late 1700's, father and son, and that they relocated from Amherst County. Prior to Amherst County I have no idea where Moses Campbell might have been. Sylvia
