    3. Hi Southern Trails Listers- Hope Ya'll can help me sort out the immigration of my Campbell-Neal-Cockerham relatives from NC/SC/GA to Amite County MS. These families all came to Amite County, in southeast MS, in the the early 1800's (all before 1810, I think). Is it reasonable to assume that they came via the 'Federal Road'? Does anyone know where I might find a map of this road and some history of it? My ggggfather Rev. John Campbell (a Methodist Minister) travelled to Amite Cty from Ga. with two slaves, his wife (I don't know her name) and sons William and Charles Wesley. I discovered this from a copy of his passport to cross Indian Territory in AL. He arrived in Amite County about 1809, and died there in 1826. I'm seeking to learn more about him, his wife and his ancestors, as well as my Neal and Cockerham ancestors who also came to Amite County during this same time frame. If you have any knowledge that you think might assist me in my search for my ancestors, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks, John Campbell in LA
