know this is a long shot. In New Castle, Botetourt County, VA on 14 May 1839 there was someone who signed his name to a letter as "E. CAMPBELL". I have a copy that letter. He sent it to his uncle, Rev. Andrew EARLY, telling him of the death of his father, John CAMPBELL. The letter was written by a very educated person, his penmanship is beautiful. John Campbell was m. to Mary "Polly" EARLY in Augusta County on 5 Feb 1795. (I have a copy of the marriage bond.) My research shows that John CAMPBELL and Mary "Polly" EARLY had two children (I'm sure there must be more), E. CAMPBELL and Mary W. "Polly" EARLY (b. 1814). I am looking for the full name of E. CAMPBELL. The records show that E. CAMPBELL's wife was J.S. UNKNOWN. I am also looking for her full name. So far I only have one child for them. She is Martha S. CAMPBELL b. 1849. She d. in Monroe County, WV on 28 May 1869. She died of consumption and was unmarried at the time of death. Don't know if it is possible to uncover the entire name of E. CAMPBELL and his wife J.S. but I would certainly love to solve this mystery. Regards, Maggie Phillips
