Notes:

"Papa [JB CAMPBELL] left home when he was 13 and went to work on a farm in Arkansas." Quote from his daughter, Grace M. CAMPBELL, to her son, [my father] William D. Walker.

Birth:

His death certificate records his birth as 22 August 1871. (Informant his son Clarence Campbell.) The Bible entry, recorded nearer the time of his death is more likely to be correct.

The death certificate also gives his birthplace as Mountain View, (Howell County), Missouri. Unlikely, but possible.

Census:

1. Campbell, James B., head, owns, value [$2000 with $500 written above it], male, white, 68, married, completed grade 4, Missouri, same place in 1935, farmer, farm, own account, other sources of income, farm schedule no. 46

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

(Research):Missouri Adjutant General Service Cards, Civil War
NOT him:
Jasper Campbell, enrolled 21 May 1863, at Richmond MO, in 4th Prov Regiment (there is a Jasper Campbell in the 1860 Ray Co MO census, age 20, born Missouri, married to Milly. age 18. This is unlikely to be our Jasper Campbell.

Buried:
Buried next to his first wife, Nancy Smith, in Chapel Hill Cemetery, near Mountain View, Howell County, MIssouri.

John married Nancy Marie Smith on 14 Apr 1867 in Randolph County, Arkansas, USA. Nancy (daughter of Peter W. Smith and Jane McCarroll) was born on 18 Nov 1847 in Arkansas, USA; died on 24 Sep 1871 in Missouri, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jane's father, Peter W. SMITH may have been the son of David SMITH of Lawrence co ARK - or at least a nephew. Facts supporting this: 1. The widow Nancy McCARROLL (grandmother of Nancy and mother of Jane) is found on the same page of the 1840 Lawrence Co AR census with the David SMITH family. 2. The David SMITH family is found in 1850 Lawrence Co AR, with wife Mariah. There is no Peter in the home, but Peter was already married. 3. David and Mariah were married in Caldwell Co KY 3 June 1824. 4. Peter W. SMITH was born ca 1824. David and Mariah's oldest child in the 1850 census was born ca 1826 KY. 5. Nancy (mother of Jane, grandmother of my Nancy) was married to John McCARROLL in either Spartanburg SC or Caldwell Co KY.

(Research):E-mail to Janice Mock, Randolph Co Clerk, requesting procedure for ordering a copy of the marriage record of John Jasper Campbell and Nancy M. Smith, book 2, p. 233. Email rcoclerk@suddenlinkmail.com

Birth:
Birth date from JB CAMPBELL's Bible, in possession of my father, William D. Walker. Birthplace from her son, James Boyds Campbell, in census documents.

Name:

The Campbell Bible calls her "Nancy Maries Campbell," never mentioning Smith as her maiden name. Her name is written twice in the Bible, and in both cases it appears to have an 's' on the end of "Marie,' though that is not usual, and the writing is not clear enough to be definitive.

Children: 1. James Boyd Campbell was born on 16 Aug 1871 in Missouri, USA; died on 22 Mar 1959 in Memorial Hospital, Rolla, Phelps County, Missouri, USA; was buried in Center Hill Cemetery, Mountain View, Howell County, Missouri.

Boyd married [First Wife] [Campbell] between 1833 and 1837 in Tennessee, USA. [First was born between 1810 and 1820 in Tennessee, USA; died between 1842 and 1850 in Missouri, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It seems apparent that Boyd must have been John Jasper Campbell's father (grave, naming, etc) - but Matilda, his wife in the 1880 census would not have been old enough to be his mother. I had therefore theorized that he was married earlier to a first wife. Recently I found a posting on Texas County website that supported this theory (see citation.)

Died:
Deed signed by Boyd and Matilda CAMPBELL in 1856

Notes:

Married:
Postulation; this family moved to MO around 1837 or 1838.

Peter married Jane McCarroll on 7 Jan 1846 in Lawrence County, Arkansas, USA. Jane (daughter of John McCarroll, Jr. and Nancy [Unknown]) was born about 1825 in Arkansas, USA; died before 1860 in Arkansas, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• RESEARCH: Possible Revolutionary War connection to John Campbell, b. 1748 Augusta Co VA, died May 1808 near Abingdon VA. Parents Alexand er Campbell and Catherine Lewis. https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/168537116/person/102182313860/hints
• Census: 1800, Kershaw District South Carolina; https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/495853:7590 Lewis Cammell, near a William Cammell. Doesn't entirely fit profile. No Boyd's in that census county/year.
• Census: 1810, Lynchburg, Campbell County, Virginia, USA; POSSIBLE CENSUS

  Lewis Campbell 1 male under 10 [?] 1 male 26 - 44 [Lewis Campbell, abt 32?] 2 females under 10 [Catherine, born that year?, and ?] 1 female 16 - 25 [Catherine Boyd, abt 22] 4 slaves

  Analysis: this would appear to be a good match for our Lewis Campbell family in some respects. The respective ages of Lewis and Catherine are properly represented, as is their known daughter Catherine, born in about 1810. Discrepencies include the fact that Catherine always stated her birthplace as NC , rather than Virginia. Additionally, we do not know of another son and daughter that had been born to them by this date. However, they might have been children who did not survive to adulthood, or they might have been children that stayed in Tennessee when the rest of the family moved to Missouri, and are thus unknown to us. Next to Lewis Campbell in this census is Cornelius Campbell, who would appear to be approximately of an age with Lewis, and a likely brother. Also on the same page is a Frederick S. Boyd, possibly a relative of Catherine (Boyd) Campbell? On page 13B of the same census there is another Lewis Campbell household, with exactly the same makeup as this Lewis Campbell household; he may have been enumerated twice, due to a move? The only difference is that he lists 5 slaves instead of 4.
• Census: 1820, Kershaw District, South Carolina; Lewis Cammel Doesn't entirely fit profile. William Cammel on same page. No Boyds in the same census county and year. But some Campbells.
• Historical Note: 1824; Haywood County created from previously unincorporated area.
• Census: 1830, Haywood County, Tennessee, USA; Lewis Campbell 1 male under 5 [William L. abt 3] 1 male 10 to 15 [Boyd abt 12] 2 males 15 to 20 [James B. abt 18 and John Boyd abt 17] 1 male 50 to 60 [Lewis Campbell abt 52] 1 female 5 to 10 [Tryphena abt 10] 2 females 10 to 15 [?] 1 female 40 to 50 [Catherine Boyd Campbell abt 42] 0 slaves
• Tax Record: 1836, District 10, Haywood County, Tennessee, USA;

  Lewis Campbell was listed just before his two eldest sons, James and John B. (about ages 24 and 23, respectively). Lewis was taxed for 180 acres and 1 white poll.

• Census: 1840, Ripley County, Missouri, USA; Lewis Campbell 1 male 10 to 15 [William L. Campbell abt 13] 1 male 60 to 70 [Lewis Campbell abt 62] 1 female 15 to 20 [Tryphena Campbell abt 20] 1 female 20 to 30 1 female 50 to 60 [Catherine Boyd abt 52]

Lewis married Catherine Boyd before 1810 in North Carolina, USA. Catherine (daughter of Unknown Boyd) was born about 1788 in North Carolina, USA; died after 1850. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
Based on birth of daughter, Susan in 1810.

Notes:

Moved at some point from Spartanburg Co SC to Caldwell Co KY, where his brother Nathaniel was residing?

From Michael Brown's website (see citation):

"They settled in the Spring River area of Lawrence County, north of where Nathaniel had settled a few years earlier. This part of Lawrence County later became Randolph County and their descendants live in that area to this date." 1800 Orange Co NC census?

One person away is Thomas McCARREL: 1 m under 10 1 m 45 or over 2 f under 10 1 f 26 - 45

John married Nancy [Unknown] before 1817 in South Carolina, USA. Nancy was born about 1798 in South Carolina, USA; died between 1860 and 1870 in Arkansas, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

1840 census shows Nancy McCARROLL - probably widowed - as the head of her household. Near her are both a John W. CAMPBELL family (Nancy's granddaughter Nancy married a CAMPBELL), and a David SMITH family. Daughter Jane married Peter W. SMITH - this David SMITH family has a son of an appropriate age to be David SMITH.

Notes:

Married:
Married either in Spartanburg Co SC or Caldwell Co KY

John McCARROLL? deceased - executor Thomas McCARROLL, executrix Nancy McCARROLL on 21 April 1834. Securites: John B. HAMMOND, William NEWLAND, James McKNIGHT
