Campbell/Young Connection to the Revolutionary War

Campbell/Young Connection to the Revolutionary War

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 4:36AM GMT
Classification: Military
Surnames: Campbell, Young
I am a descendant of a man named Bishop Jabez Pitt Campbell. He was very influential in the AME church. A published entry in the "An Apology for African Methodism: Electronic Edition. Tanner, Benj. T. (Benjamin Tucker), 1835-1923", Jabez states...

"I was born in Slaughter-Neck, Sussex County, Delaware, February 5th, 1815. My father's name was Anthony, the son of Frances by Sydney Campbell; my mother's name is Catharine, the daughter of Phillip, by Rosanna, sometimes called Townsend, but more commonly called Young, being the names of two masters successively. Both of my grandfathers were soldiers in the Revolutionary war. "

I NEED to find out if this is true! Can someone please assist me in this search?
