I have Campbells in KY but they are from Greenup, Boyd and Carter counties
which is in the eastern end. The original one came from NJ and settled in
Adams Co. OH just across the Ohio river from KY near Maysville, KY then
came up the river to Greenup Co. and migrated into Boyd and Carter.

Some of the names I have are Robert 1755-1778, who was the father of my
line and Robert died in NJ from injuries sustained in the Battle of Trenton.
Robert's son, George 1778-1854 is the one that came to Adams Co. Ohio when
he was apparently rather young with his mother sometime after 1790.

George married twice and had sons, James, Thomas & Willis to one wife and
has son's Willis, (yes 2 by that name but one lived only to the age of
2years) Robert, Albert, Lewis & George.

I also have the daughter's names if you want those.

If any of these fit I can give you what I have on them, which isn't much
except for tombstone photos taken at the cemetery where they are buried in
Adams Co. OH

My mother-in-law was a Campbell and descended from this line.
