I am looking for a Campbell who came from KY to Texas...I do not know
when...He was here in the 1840's. That is early for Texas...His daughter
Mary Jane was born here in Texas in the 1840s. His wife was born in
Florida...I do not know if they were married in Texas or Ky...Mary Jane's
siblings were:
JIM, BILL, LIZA, SADIE . These sound like nicknames. This is all I know
about the family...This may not be all of the children...just the ones an
aunt said she remembered being mentioned.

Mary Campbell married Jesse Downing. These are their children::
1.JENNIE DOWNING 2.ELLA DOWNING 3.MARY DOWNING 4.DARG DOWNING 5.JAKE
DOWNING 6.ARTHUR DOWNING 7.MIRANDA MYRTLE DOWNING

> Hello,
>
> I am searching for any information regarding, yes, another Alexander
Campbell.
> Seeking information regarding his marriage, ancestry, military service,
etc.
>
> What I know:
>
> He left a will in Whitley County, KY dated 10 August 1810 witnessed by
James
> Cord (?), Brooks Smith, and Josiah Smith. He mentions children Jane
Shelly
> and James Campbell (James being my ancestor). No mention is made of a
wife.
> He also directs Alexander Campbell to make sale of some 140 odd acres of
land
> in Cocke County, TN. This makes me wonder if they had previously lived
in
> Cocke County, or if this was a land bounty warrant awarded him for
service in
> the Revolution.
>
> Children are thought to be James, Jane, John, Alexander and William
Campbell,
> with possible birth years stretching from 1750 to 1775.
>
> Does anyone connect or have information relevant to the above?
>
> Thank you for any and all help.
