I have a biography for Basil Campbell,* on the Yolo County CAGenWeb Project web site that I maintain at the link below: http://www.cagenweb.com/yolo/yol_bio/yolbios-c.htm "Basil Campbell was born in Cooper County, Missouri, March 9, 1823, a slave to James G. Campbell, whose widow, Mrs. Ellen, is living with her son-in-law, Jefferson Maxwell, in this county. When thirteen years old, in September, 1836, he was sold to Joseph Stephens for $700. In 1837, Mr. Stephens died, and for some four or five succeeding years the slave-boy was put yearly up at auction, and his services for one year sold to the highest bidder...."
