hi list i'm new to trimble co,ky list i need info. about my gran father, J.R. Campbell , born abt 1843 in ky. d-unknown married on 9-25-1881 in Carroll co. ky. to Leonia Jackson, b-1857- d- unknown. they had 2 sons , John b-1883 (my Father) Roland b-1887 J.R. was elected constable in Bedford ,Trimble co. in 1891. this was J.R. 2nd marriage that's all i know about him. I have Jackson an darbro (her mothers line) back to 1800, any help on J.R. greatly appreciated Bill n Lois from florida

Hi Bill and Lois, I have a copy of the Carroll County Marriage Index and found where J. R. Campbell married Leonia Jackson. I also found in the Trimble County Heritage 1989 book published by the Trimble County Historical Society on page 142, Trimble Tidbit, that on November 9, 1891 a J. R. Campbell was elected constable. But I'm wondering if the J. R. Campbell you are researching is getting confused with a James R. Campbell. James R. Campbell is the only J. R. Campbell I can find in any other records for Trimble County. He appears in the 1900 Census with a wife named Annie K. and these children: Myra A., Thelma E. and Georgia A. (all daughters) The other thing is this J. R. Campbell was born in Oct of 1870. This James R. Campbell also appears in the 1880 census at age 9 with his widowed mother Nannie with brothers, Leatcher and John. If the James R. Campbell was elected constable in 1891, he would have been 20 or 21 years of age. Do you have any other documentation that shows your J. R. Campbell lived in Trimble County? I know Carroll County had quite a few Campbells listed in the Marriage index. Trimble County had few, only a couple or three households only. Wish I could have helped more. Maybe someone on the Carroll County Website could help.
