> Since the Campbell families of Amherst Co are all, or mostly all related
to

> I will now attempt to identify the ancestry of each person on the 1860
> census, of both locations, who are 60 yrs of age , or older. This should

Catherine Campbell, 65 yrs, d/o Henry Campbell and Sarah Wright, s/o Geroge

He identity is established by the 1835 Deed of Sarah Campbell, her widowed
mother, and Willim W. Camden, a neighbor.
> In the 1860 census, Nelson Co, page 705, Rose Mills P.O., are listed 3

John H. Campbell is the s/o Henry Campbell and Sarah Wright, he is the older
brother of Catherine Campbell, who married Cornelius Campbell in 1816.
Arrana M. Campbell, living with his, and 2 young children, is probably his
niece, and NOT his wife. She is probably only shareing the house with him,
as her widowed mother lives next door, and her brother also.
