Searching for the ancestors and descendents of David S. CAMPBELL (born TN abt. 1819). He is listed as receiving a Land
Grant in
Red River County in 1839 as part of his participation in the Republic of
Texas. He also serves as a witness for William CAMPBELL's Land
Grant in the same year. The actual location of the land for both William and David is in what is now
Titus Co. It has been suggested that they lived in the community of
Shiloh in
Titus Co. Later he is listed in the 1850 Census of
Lamar Co. TX as married to a Francis (born
AL. abt.1819). David dies Aug.19, 1850. In the 1860 Census Francis is living next to son-in-law J.F.R. WILLIAMS (he marries Sarah J. Campbell in 1860). Francis
CAMPBELL dies in 1912. David and Francis CAMPBELL'S children, all born in old
Red River Co. TX are:
James E. b. 1841 TX
Sarah J. (Susan) b. 1842 TX
Margaret b. 1844 TX
Martha E. b. 1845 TX
William
CAMPBELL of
Lamar Co., TX is probably his brother (b. AL
Abt 1832). He marries Elizabeth S. [b. abt. 1831 NC.] Their children are:
Nancy E. abt. 1850 TX
Mary abt. 1854 TX
W. F. abt. 1856 TX
Richard abt. 1858 TX
J. R. abt. 1859 TX
The mother of David and William is probably Mary (b. abt 1793, VA) and sister is Mary A. (b. Abt 1838,
AL). The father is unknown to me at this time.
Help with the ancestors and descendents will be appreciated. I have the history on the descendents of Sarah and J.F.R. WILLIAMS and will be most happy to share.
