It's too bad neither of us could find Richard in earlier censuses. I believe your logic is sound that, if these two Richards are the same, as appears likely, he and Pamelia must have separated before Richard migrated to TN. Before seeing Catlett's will, I'd presumed Richard was a widower. You show only Elizabeth (born c1790) as their child, but, it would seem the couple might also have had a son born about then - my elusive ancestor John. My estimate for John's birth could just as well have been c1790. He married in TN in 1810 and would have come there as a young boy with his father Richard in the late 1790s, in the wake of a family rift. I'm also interested in your Campbell ancestors. Your Lawrence Campbell might have been closely related to my Joseph Campbell (c1740-1794) of Caroline Co., Virginia.
