    1. [NCROOTS] Where was Campbelltown?
    2. Where was Campbelltown (or maybe Campbellton) in central North Carolina? I'm reading about the conflict between the Highland Scot Loyalists and the Patriots in 1776. In a contemporary account of the events leading up to the Battle of Moore's Creek bridge (I seem to have had ancestors on both sides) the narrative seems to place it somewhere between Cross Creek (now Fayetteville) and Moore's Creek itself. There is the sentence The Army was ordered to March to Campbelltown to cross the River... this was after it left Cross Creek. I didn't hit it as a place name on the GSIS Web site, and my Delorme Gazetteer doesn't show a whole lot of anything below Fayetteville on the Cape Fear (I assume this is the river referred to), except maybe five trillion mosquitoes in season. Any ideas? Thanks, and Merry Millennium... John Ottinger
