Sending this to the new Campbell Co. list and the GA list: This may be of interest to those trying to find Old Campbell County information and having difficulty because the county doesn't exist any more. I stumbled onto an untapped gold mine when I was finally able to visit the Coweta County Genealogical Society's library and research center in Grantville. First, they have much information relating to Campbell County and many other counties in Georgia, and Alabama, including some censuses on microfilm. Second, when you join, you receive their quarterly newsletter which, since fall of 1990, includes information about Campbell County. Back issues are indexed (back to Spriing 1982) and may be ordered for a small fee. If the complete issue is not available, they will make a copy for you for a fee.

I am new to this list. I am hunting for information regarding the death of John Crum. We have evidence of him being in VA on th 18th day of October 1830. There is a Deed Trust - Kennerly from Crum - on File in Virginia real estate. A relative, now deceased has notes that read, "He and his wife went to live near Atlanta, Ga. and where he died, most likely with some of her people." The family Bible says he was born in 1760 and Mary Pigg Crum, his wife was born August 10, 1770. Any help you can give will be most appreciated. Asella Crum
