I responded to Mr. Ronald Campbell with the following information
thinking he may have been a descendant of James Campbell who was born in
Cumberland County, N.C.ca.1836 and applied for confederate pension in
Jones Co., Tx. As it turns out, Ron is not related so for all you James
Campbell searchers this is for you.

Ron, I have been researching the Campbells in eastern North Carolina
for a long time, trying to document my own Campbell lineage. Do you know
anything else about this James Campbell? Is he your ancestor?
The following is a small portion of what I have which may be of interest
to you. The dates fit.
I have much more and can document if you need it. All info. from
Cumberland County in N.C.

1. James Campbell (b c.1836) may be the son of Ferquhard Campbell (born
12 Jan. 1812) and and wife Effie McLean.

2. Ferquhard was the son of James Campbell (b. 30 Dec. 1782 - d. 27 Oct.
1816 ) and wife Winifred Turner (m. April 13, 1809)

3. James Campbell was youngest son of Ferquhard, of Revolutionay fame,
and 1st wife Isabella McAlister.
