Dear CAMPBELL researchers, This is my first letter to this mailing list. For the last seven years we have been trying to find our CAMPBELL ancestors either as emigrants from Scotland or, as early (1740-1760) settlers of Virginia. We are working from an 1858 family document that states that my paternal gggrandfather, Joseph Campbell ,came to "western Virginia in the early 1700's from Scotland with his brother, William, and parents (names of parents not cited)". Joseph married Elizabeth Douglas in Virginia and they had nine children (the names of which are all known) including my ggrandfather, John S. Campbell ,who was born in Virginia in 1799 (place unknown). Here are the questions for which we are seeking answers: 1.In the event the family came from Argyllshire (speculation only), might there be any records that would include the names of emigrating children? If so, the search could be narrowed down to those parents having children named Joseph and William? (There could have been other children in this family) 2.If the family emigrated from Argyll County, or that part of Scotland in the middle 1700's, what port(s) might have been used for the trip to America? After a search lasting several years, we are hoping that someone living in Scotland can help us. My wife and I are in our 80's with 60 years of marriage. We would like to find the ancestral Campbell home for our five children and seven grandchildren. Thank you for any possible suggestions you may be able to provide. We will gladly snail mail or FAX Joseph Campbell's family chart to anyone requesting it. Alan Campbell ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
