Hello All - I have been reading the postings for sometime now, and want
everyone to know how interesting and educational all the postings are.

I am posting again in hopes of finding out where in this gaggle of a
family our Campbell falls in.
Particularly am looking for my Great Grandfather, Jesse James Campbell,
born in 1858.

Oral tradition says he was born in Hartford, CN, his death certificate
states New Jersey with a birth date of 8/2/1858 and a copy of his
obituary in the local paper states he was born in Philladelphia on
6/6/1858 and does not give his parents. We do know for certain that he
died 10/23/1940.

Some of us in the family are beginning to wonder if we are even
Campbells and that perhaps he "re-invented" himself, since his origins
are becoming more obscure. We know of no siblings.

Thanks in advance for any possible help,

Deb (Campbell) O'Donnell
