His daughter Nancy Campbell is my 3rd great-grandmother. Pamelia was Nancy's sister. Pamelia married Richard Waugh in Amherst Co., 1 Sept 1789. I have no infromation on this couple after their marriage; the internet shows the marriage and a dau., Elizabeth, but no information after 1790's. There may be information in the Court records of Amherst County; I have not looked. The will of Catlett Campbell, brother of Pamelia and Nancy, was written 11 Jan 1845 (Orange Co., North Carolina Wills, 1753-1968 CR.073.801.8 - my transcription is posted on the county's GenWeb site), and in dividing the remainder of his assest it provides "in trust one part of it for the sole and separate use of my sister PAMELIA WAUGH during her natural life and at her death for the use and benefit of her living children, but during her life to be free from the control of her husband and to be liable for his debt or contracts." There was no residuary and I have founding nothing to indicate there was any distribution to or communication with Pamelia Waugh after Catlett's death later in January. Similar bequests were made to two other sisters without the language concerning their husbands; it is probable but not certain that at least one of those husbands was living in 1845. Consequently, Catlett may have had concerns about Richard, but if Pamelia's husband was Richard of Dickson Co. then when Catlett wrote his will he was unaware of Richard's death two plus years earlier. Richard Waugh of Dickson Co. appears in the 1820 and 1830 census, and no females are listed. It Pamelia was his wife, it appears they had separated.
