From # 117 MISCELLANEOUS RESEARCH DATA 1842 Alexander Campbell b. c.1790-1800 m. Sarah Pate, daughter of Stephen and Honor Pate. Their children were Phillip Campbell (1822-1908) m. (1) Ellinder H., m. (2) Matilda Thomkins Medlin (Mullin?); Alexander Campbell, b. 1827 m. 26 Dec. 1844, Elizabeth Parker; Daniel Campbell and Margaret Ann Campbell. This family may have lived in Carroll County, Tenn. during the 1840's. All four children were placed under the guardianship of Richmond L. Pate (Brother of Stephen) during Sept. 1842 Term Carroll County Court. NOTE: This indicates that Richmond L. Pate was the great-UNCLE of the four children - not the uncle (brother of Sarah/Sally). Dee In 1839, the Huntingdon (TN) Republican newspaper advertised a land sale to settle the estate of Stephen Pate, with some proceeds going to "Alex. Campbell, in right of his deceased wife, Sally". In September 1841, Carroll County (TN) Court Records show that Richmond Love Pate (Sally's brother b. 1814) was made guardian of Philip, Alexander, Daniel, and Margaret Campbell, the children of Alex. Campbell and Sally Pate Campbell, which suggests that Alex. Campbell had died or abandoned the children. Sally Pate's father, Stephen Pate was stilll living in Richmond County NC in 1830. The household appears to include Sally and her two oldest children, but no Alex. Some evidence exists to suggest that Sally Pate died enroute to West TN as her father and brother, Samuel Duncan Pate immigrated around 1836. I have been trying to find Alex. Campbell's parents and any evidence of what happened to him. I am looking in neighboring counties. I knew that there was a James Campbell (1756-1842) household in Bladen County and that they had a son named Alexander about whom little was known. I was hoping for a connection. Just today I have made contact with a lady who owns an old journal from the family of Alex. Campbell's daughter, Margaret in which she says that her father returned to Scotland after the children were adopted to tend to some business. So now I am looking for a ship's manifest from the US to Scotland 1839-1841 with Alexander Campbell onboard. Do you have any sources for that information?

I find no connection between PATE & CAMPBELL. Why do you think there may be one?
