Hello,
I sure hope you can help me. I have been searching for information on
James
CAMPBELL. I am wondering if you might know more about the gentleman in
your
posting? The James CAMPBELL in my ancestry was:
James CAMPBELL, Sr. born 1786 (we think) and died 14 Oct. 1850 in Searcy
Co. Arkansas. He was married to Lucy HOWARD who died 6 Oct. 1845 in
Arkansas. His son was born in Giles Co. Tennessee in 1814. Do you think
this person is the James in your posting? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank-you,
Fran Pugh

MOVING WEST TO MISSISSIPPI TOOK TIME AND PATIENCE IN 1819

Many Mississipians can trace their lineage back to hardy pioneers who
blazed trails through Indian country and uncharted forests, across
untamed
rivers.

How Hard was this journey? How long did it take? What did it cost?

Some of those answers are given in a diary kept by one of those
pioneers.
James Campbell might not have been the greatest speller in the district,
nor the greatest grammarian. He might not have known a whole lot about
punctuation, but he has given us one of the best and most complete
records
of a family's trek from North Carolina to Amite County and on to
Natchez.

We are indebted to Jack W Pepper of Jackson, who obtained the diary and
other Campbell information from Nina Pepper of Louise, and copied the
diary
for this column.
Pepper and I have added a few words in Parenthesis to help the reader,
especially in regard to place names. As Pepper notes, it is interesting
to
see how many place names have remained the same.

Campbell and his compainons left Fayetteville, in Cumberland County, NC
on
April 1, 1819. Campbell, who was born May 21, 1789, wrote that the
