Thanks so much for posting this. I visited the webpage and also the map that goes with it. This is the EXACT area that my Campbell and Thompson and Wright families lived at, in the 1850 to 1890 time frame. 1. George T. Campbell 1824-1856, married Eady Burcher Wright, d/o Jesse Wright and Elizabeth Campbell. George died young and left Eady on a Farm in Temperance, which is described as "Indian Creek Land". She was living there in the 1880 census, and she split the land among her kids not much later. 2. Edward S. Campbell, married Beheathland Thompson, Edward died in the Civil War in 1862, and left his widow to raise the children in Temperance. Henry W. Campbell b. 1855, s/o George and Eady, most likely grew up near to Nancy Jane Campbell, the daughter of Edward and Beheathland, and when they grew up Henry married Nancy, they were not cousins, but they were both from the same Campbell family. 3. James Thompson, III b. 1803, he also lived in Temperance, he was the father of Beheathland Thomspon Campbell, and in 1870 census he is living next door to his widowed daughter in Temperance, VA. 4. Jesse Wright, he married Elizabeth Campbell, d/o Capt. George T. Campbell, and he also lived in the Temperance area. There is an old cemetery, which was once called the Old Wright Burial Ground, which later became known as the Wheeler Cemetery, and many of these families are buried there. Of all the people I have mentioned here, who are all my ancestors, I can only tell you ONE of them where they are buried at. The man who died in the Civil War is buried in Charleston, SC. The others are buried here and there in the Temperance area, but perhaps the grave stones and records do not survive to tell the story of exactly where they are buired at.
