Robert married Kurn Chartee Cornell-Yoholo before 1808 in Franklin Co., GA. Kurn (daughter of Hopothla, Menawa (Monahwee) Yoholo and Hannah Cornell) was born about 1790 in Creek Territory, now Alabama; died in 1872 in Bibb Co., (Chilton Co.) AL. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There were 3 Campbells in Bibb County by 1825, Aaron, David (and
Charity) and Elijah (and Lizzie Kemp). When David died in 1926,
their children, Acy, Lacy and John were left with Charity. Probably
Calvin Glasscock, the husband of Catherine Campbell (David's sister),
accepted responsibility as the male guardian for David and Charity's
children.

1830 Bibb Co., AL Census: Charity is listed with 1 male and 1 female under 5, 2 males 5-10; 1
male 10-15; 1 female 30-40. Joseph, Nancy, John, Nathan "Nace", Asa 'Acey", Charity.
(Elizabeth and Elijah C. were married and moved out).

1840 CENSUS: Bibb, AL, lists Charity as female bet 50 - 60, also
listed 1 male bet 10-15 and 1 female under 5. (Joseph and Susan)

1850 CENSUS: Shelby, AL, Charity listed age 60, Nathan age 32, Nancy
age 20, Susan D, age 17

Charity Yoholo was half sister to Chief Menawa. Menawa was the Warrior
Chief of the Upper Creek Nation and led the battle of Horseshoe Bend.
(From all that I have read, I think Charity was the daughter of Menawa and Hannah. MCM-2004)

Azalia Thomas of Sandy, Utah, stated in a letter to Terri Jean Adams,
114 S. Main St., Weaverville, NC 28787, dated 10-4-1995 that she
corresponded with U.V. Waldrop, who was born in the general area of AL
where the Campbells lived. " It seems that David Campbell married a
Creek Indian girl whose 'white' name was Charity. U.V. says that she
was the sister of a Creek War Chief and that her last name was Yoholo.
When David died, leaving Charity with several children, she began
taking in boarders. Some two years after David's death, Charity gave
birth to a little girl. Indian customs allowed a widow to take lovers.
The Campbells, being good, upright Baptists, were naturally upset, and
Catherine and her husband Calvin Glasscock, went to court and got
custody of all children except for the baby girl. Aaron Campbell and
Patsy reared two of the children, twin boys I believe. " U.V. is a
descendant of that baby girl, Susan. He says his grandfather told him
this story and told him the name of the boarder who was the father.
But, U.V. was young at the time and now that he'd really like to know,
he can not remember the name his grandfather gave him.

On page 136 of Ulysses Abrams book (Early History of Bibb County
Alabama), I found the following:
"James REID vs. Opothle-Yahola and Jim Boy (37)
Trespass, assault, and Battery - This action was tried at the term of
the Circuit Court, which has just terminated. Judgment by default had
been rendered at a previous term. From the evidence, it appeared that
in June, 1828, the plaintiff accompanied a deputy of the sheriff of
Shelby County into the Creek Nation for the purpose of aiding in the
execution of process; that he was seized by the Indians, bound with cords, stripped
of his clothing save a light shirt and pantaloons, carried first to
Tuckabatchee and there, by one of the defendants, bound with
additional cords and ordered on to Thomas Trippett's who was the
sub-agent; and from there, taken to Line Creek by a party of Indians
under command of the other defendants, his back made bare, tied fast
to a tree, and beat with hickory sticks an inch thick and five feet in
length, forty stripes.
The court instructed the jury that the only question for them was
to assess damage. They retired, and in a few minutes, returned with a
verdict of $4,500.00.
The case was argued by Busbee and Hinton for the plaintiff; and
Gordon, Goldthwaite and Campbell for the defendants."
(The Alabama Intellingencer, Tuscaloosa, April, 1830)."

The person, James Reid, mentioned in this case was a neighbor of
Alexander Cobb who my Elijah C Campbell (son of Charity and David) was
the overseer for . . . I am interested in researching this further,
but do not have any idea where to start . . . also am interested in
the Campbell who defended them. (Melissa Hogan-2003)

Christian civilization, especially the Christian part of
it--civilization without the Bible does not amount to much--has made
great changes with the descendants of those brave and fierce and
wronged Muscogees with whom the whites in Alabama and Georgia came
into conflict.
There is now before me a letterhead, the letter written in Indian
Territory, December 24, 1894, which contains the words: "Wetumka
National Labor School, Col. Wm. Robison, Supt.," and among the names
of the faculty I find as matron, Miss Hannah Monahwee, who is a
grand-daughter of that noted chief who commanded the Creek warriors at
the great battle of Tohopeka. His name written by some Menawa, by some
Monahwee. And a grandson of the noted High Head Jim, as mentioned
elsewhere, is a highly respected Methodist minister in the Territory,
the Rev. William Jimboy. The introduction of Christianity into the
Creek, or as the educated Indians now write, the Muskogee Nation,
opens an interesting chapter in the progress of the Gospel. No white
missionaries first bore the Gospel to them, but "an old negro named
Billy " taught it to a young Indian man in the Indian Territory,
Joseph Islands, and they two commenced a work which, with the help of
white missionaries, has been growing until now. See a little tract
called "Joseph Islands, the Apostle of the Creek Indians," written by
Dr. I. T. Tichenor, published at the Maryland Baptist Mission Rooms 10
E. Fayette street, Baltimore. Price, two cents. T. H. B.]

Comments: I've just begun a search into my family geneology on the
Campbell side of my family after recieving information from a great
aunt living in Mobile, AL. The tree traces all the way back to the
Creek warrior, Chief Menawa. Your site suggests a daughter of Menawa
possibly known as Charity, who married my direct descendent, Robert
Campbell. A muster roll of names of Creeks listed to be moved west
from Alabama reveals her name as Kurn Chartee,(Charity) in English. I
visited the battlesite 3/26/04 on the anniversary of the Battle of
Horseshoe Bend. Thanks for the site you have and the information I've
found in my search. I'll update as I progress. Sunday, March 28th 2004

(Emails from Barbara Rowe - 2005)
"The confusion came because David Campbell's siblings took a dim view
of Charity's 'morals' and took David's younger children to live with
them. Charity had two more daughters after David's death. Since
Charity was raised in the Creek fashion, and if I am not mistaken it
was a matriarchal society like the Cherokee, therefore Charity would
have seen nothing wrong in what she did since David was dead.
One note I forgot to point out; the two daughters that were not
David's were not born until well after guardianship was appointed,
Nancy in 1829 and Susan two years later.
The family story says Charity took in boarders to make ends meet, a
lot of widows did that. So I tend to believe that David's siblings
were just helping out by taking some of the children into their homes
so that Charity would have fewer mouths to feed. She needed the older
boys to help her run the place they lived, so it would make since for
the younger boys to go live with aunts and uncles.
The eldest daughter, Elizabeth (my line) had only recently married
Josiah Beasley and probably could not take in her brothers. Regardless
of what lore was passed down, I prefer to believe the best about the
siblings who were good church going folks and would have been helping,
not judging."

Menewa's (1765 - 1843) boyhood name was Yoholo; the name given to him
by his father was Othlepoya Yoholo. When the Creeks chose him as chief
in 1820, he became known as Menewa. On April 26, 1826, he was chosen
as the principle chief of the Creek Indian tribes. (This information
is from a letter written by Mary Ann Campbell Peigh of Bessemer,
Alabama, on December 28, 1970, to her uncle, Joshua Banks Campbell.)
Menewa married Hannah Cornell, also a Creek. They had two children,
Katee Ann (1786 - 1865) and Little Warrior (1785 - 181?). Katee Ann
married Reuben Weed (Creek, ? - 1814; died in Battle of Horseshoe
Bend), and they had Katee (1804 - 1890), Hannah (died 1880), and
Charity Yoholo (died 1872). Charity, Menewa's grandaughter, married
Robert David Campbell (1767 - 1835), and they had twins Asa and
Nathan, and two girls and another son who seem to have disappeared
with their mother. Asa and Nace were raised by their father's brother,
Alvin (sic Calvin), upon their father's death. (Source: Amanda Givens. Ancestry

The Ship "Henry and Francis" of New Castle, departed from the road of Leith, September 5, 1685, arrived at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, in the middle of December, 1685:
" In 1685, George Scot, Baird of Pitlochie, was given his liberty in Scotland provided he transported to East Jersey many of the Covenanters who had refused to take the oath of allegiance to a tyrannical and profligate ruler. Thus authorized, he proceeded to gather his company from those confined in the tolbooth of Leith. He had to give security to land them there prior to September, 1686, and the penalty was to be five hundred merks in case of failure in any instance. In May, 1685, Scot chartered the Henry and Francis of New Castle, a ship of three hundred and fifty tons and twenty great ' guns, with Richard Hutton as master. On the eve of their banishment, twenty-eight of them signed the following conjunct testimony; bearing 'That, now to leave their own native and Covenanted land by an unjust sentence of banishment for owning truth and standing by duty, studying to keep their Covenants engagements and baptismal vows, whereby they stand obliged to resist and testify against all that is contrary to the Word of God and their Covenants; and that their sentence of banishment ran chiefly because they refused the oath of allegiance which in conscience they could not take, because in so doing they thought utterly declined the Lord Jesus Christ from having any power in His own house, and practically would; by taking it, said, He was not King and Head of His Church and over them consciences. And, on the contrary, this was to take and put in His room a man whose breath is in his nostrils; yea, a man who is a sworn enemy to religion; an avowed papist, whom, by our Covenants we are bound to withstand and disown, and that agreeably to Scripture: When thou art come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a King over me, like as all the nations that are about me, thou shalt in any wise set him King over thee, whom the Lord thy God shalt choose one from among thy brethren shalt thou set King over thee; thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother. Deut. 17: 14-15.' They then bore their testimony against the defections of the day, and for preaching in the fields and homes, and then signed their names. As Wodrow has given these names of the banished, we have thought it proper to insert them here. Their names are:

The charge for transportation was five pounds sterling for each adult and to each of those who were unable to pay for their passage was promised twenty-five acres of land and a suit of new clothes on the completion of four years of service; for children under twelve years of age, fifty shillings; sucking children free; one ton of goods, forty shillings. These have been known in American History as "Redemptioners." Many of these passengers had endured much suffering. After some delay, the ship sailed from the road of Leith, September 5, 1685. We hear of no untoward event until after they had turned the Land's End," when a fever began to prevail with virulence, particularly among the prisoners who had been confined' in the great vault of Dunnotter. Many were sick when they came aboard, and the health of the others was endangered by the condition of the provisions laid in by the Captain. The meat began to putrefy and was not eatable. In a month the fever assumed a malignant type. Few escaped its ravages, and three or four bodies were cast overboard every day. Most of the ship's crew, except the Captain and boatswain, died. Pitlochie, who had freighted the ship, with his lady, died likewise, and so enjoyed nothing of the gain of nearly one hundred prisoners gifted him by the Council, and upwards of seventy persons died at sea. Death and unwholesome food were not the only evils the unfortunate Covenanters had to encounter; the master of the ship was most cruel to the prisoners. Those who were placed under deck were not allowed to go about worship, and when they attempted it the Captain would throw down great planks of timber to disturb them and endanger their lives. The ship sprang a leak twice, and frequent storms added to their anxiety. After the death of Pitlochie, the prisoners fell into the hands of John Johnstone, his son-in-law Captain Hutton began to tamper with Mr. Johnstone, and urged him to carry the prisoners to Virginia or Jamaica, either places presenting better opportunity for disposing of them than New jersey, and offered as an inducement to charge himself with the disposal of the prisoners and to account to him for them in the productions of the country. But the wind changed and they were forced to sail straight for New Jersey. They landed at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, in the middle of December, 1685, having been about fifteen weeks at sea..
Before going ashore, Johnstone endeavored to stop them by urging them to sign an agreement to serve four years at that place in consideration of the expense incurred by the departed Scot. This they would not agree to, but joined in another protest against their banishment and recounted their harsh treatment during the voyage. When they came ashore, the people who lived on the coast and had not the gospel preached to them, were inhospitable and showed them no kindness. A little way up in the country, however, there was a town (supposed to be Woodbridge), and a minister settled, and the inhabitants were very kind to them. When they learned who the prisoners were and their circumstances, they invited all who were able to travel to come and live with them, and sent horses for the rest, and entertained them freely and liberally that winter. In the following spring, John Johnstone pursued them and had them all cited before a legal tribunal of the Province. Alter hearing both sides, the Governor called a jury to sit and cognosce upon the affair, who found that the pannels had not of their own accord come to that ship, nor bargained with Pitlochie for money or service, and therefore, according to the laws of the country, they were assoiled. Those who had so agreed had their suits come before the Court of Common Rights, and Captain Hutton was remunerated. The prisoners then scattered throughout Eastern Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut, where they were kindly entertained and found employment according to their different trades. At different times the persecuted Covenanters were banished to New Jersey, Delaware and South Carolina, but in the latter part of the seventeenth century this cruelty ceased. At this time no organized society of Covenanters has an existence in New Jersey.

Ancestors of Aaron Campbell (b. ~1757)
JayCampbell1953 added this on 19 Feb 2011:
DNA evidence suggests that descendants of Aaron are related to the descendants of Samuel Campbell (b. ~1700) who lived most of his life in Essex County, New Jersey. See www.familytreedna/public/campbell. We think we know all of the descendents of Samuel, so probably there is no direct link to him. The statistics suggest there is a 64% chance that Samuel's father Robert (who came to NJ from Cowal, Scotland in 1685 as a young man) is a common relative, and 75% that Robert's father was a common relative. Hope we can connect up at some point. Jay Campbell

Comments: Hi Martha,
It's been a really long time since I've last spoken to you and I have some updates for you. You know for a long time we had John Campbell and ? Wallings as the head of this family. Earlier this year someone sent me a copy of the Will of Aaron Campbell Sr that was married to Lydia. Come to find out. Alcy Campbell that married Larkin Prestridge was a daughter of Aaron Campbell Sr. and Lydia. I'm sending you the will so you can see at the bottom of the will he gives each of his children 25 cents. The daughter's have thier married names, so this helped me determine that Alcy was his daughter and probably the oldest child since she appears at the top of the list.
Burnis Argo in Oklahoma told me that her father told her that he had
some conversations with some of the grandchildren of Alcy Campbell.
The grandchildren were quite young at the time of Alcy's death, but
they recalled the story that was told them, which was that Alcy's
father was named John Campbell and that John's father was named Joe
Campbell.

Aaron Campbell Sr. was not known to have come to Franklin Co., GA
until 1800. Alcy and Larkin were not known to have been there before
1800 as well. I have found no Aaron Campbell in NC. I have found an
Aaron Campbell, son of Henry Campbell in VA previous to 1800. Henry
Campbell's Will, dated 1772 Amherst Co., VA. His son, Aaron, was
listed in his Will.
Aaron Campbell Sr. had 8 children, Mary, Elijah C., John, Aaron Jr., Martha,
Catherine, David. and Rebecca. Some think Lydia LNU was Aaron Sr.'s
wife (she was listed in his land records). Three of the children
married Glascocks (all siblings and children of John Milton Glascock,
Sr. and Mary Polly Caddell) ... Aaron m. Patsy, Martha m. James, and
Catherine m. Calvin. David died and left three children, named John,
Lacy and Acy (Asa). Catherine and Calvin accepted guardianship for
David's children. Charity is found in the Census' of Bibb Co., AL,
listing the children.

The Aaron Campbell from VA was also found in NC and Franklin GA:

(History of GA
From 1721 until 1736, Fort King George was the southern outpost of the
British Empire in North America. A cypress blockhouse, barracks and
palisaded earthen fort were constructed in 1721 by scoutmen led by
Colonel John “Tuscarora Jack” Barnwell. For the next seven years, His
Majesty’s Independent Company garrisoned the fort. They endured
incredible hardships from disease, threats of Spanish and Indian
attacks, and the harsh, unfamiliar coastal environment. After the fort
was abandoned, General James Oglethorpe brought Scottish Highlanders
to the site in 1736. The settlement, called Darien, eventually became
a foremost export center of lumber until 1925.
Using old records and drawings, this 18th century frontier
fortification on the Altamaha River has been reconstructed for public
tours. Structures include a blockhouse, officers' quarters, barracks,
a guardhouse, moat and palisades. A museum and film cover the Guale
Indians, the Santo Domingo de Talaje mission, Fort King George, the
Scots of Darien and 19th century sawmilling when Darien became a major
seaport. In addition to the many fort buildings, remains of three
sawmills and tabby ruins are still visible. This site is on the
Colonial Coast Birding Trail."

(The Revolutionary War in Georgia from Ancestry.com)
It takes the external stimulus of Continental General Nathanial
Greene to start a movement towards freedom. The Continental commander
decides to mount a weak offensive in Georgia. Supported by Elijah
Clarke, and later, Andrew Pickens, the rural Georgians retake Augusta
in June, 1781. A state government is quickly formed, with Augusta the
new capitol. With the upcountry free of the British a limited number
of troops are raised from the "crackers."
"Mad" Anthony Wayne, whose legendary prowess leads to the capture of
the British fort at Stoney Point in 1779 is put in charge of Georgia
operations shortly after the victory at Yorktown. Now the British
stronghold in Savannah is the target of the combined Continental
forces and the Georgia militia. Although outnumbered 2-1, Wayne
advances on the town, which the British evacuate. Officially, Lt. Col.
James Jackson accepts the surrender of the city. In six months Wayne
eliminates the British presence in the state, never once having
numerically superior forces. Because of his success the Georgia
legislature would grant him a plantation in the state, which he is
later forced to sell because of financial problems. Often overlooked,
Wayne's campaign is brilliant both strategically and tactically.
Widely regarded as one of the best American general during the
Revolution, Wayne joined George Washington at Valley Forge and fought
in the battles of Brandywine, Paoli, and Germantown and led the
American attack at Monmouth. After a supporting role in Cornwalis'
surrender at Yorktown Wayne headed south to assist the patriots of
Georgia. Although outnumbered two to one, Wayne soundly defeated his
British opponents in Georgia, culminating what was one of the most
brilliant campaigns of the Revolution.
From Yorktown, Wayne took 500 men south with orders to free Savannah.
The hope was that with Savannah in American hands the British in
Charleston would be forced to withdraw or surrender. Wayne faced three
major problems: lack of naval support, the 1,000 British regulars
stationed in Savannah, and the loss of Clarke, Pickens, and the Whig
militia under their command.
Wayne's major advantage:Himself. During his initial engagement with
British forces near Ebenezer, he aggressively attacked a British force
of superior numbers that had been sent to probe his strength. These
Regulars withdrew when Wayne positioned two groups with small arms as
if they were trying to enfilade the British forces. Using tactics
similar to those used by Nathan Bedford Forrest during the Civil War,
Wayne fooled the garrison in Savannah, making them believe they were
surrounded by a much larger force. He had black slaves working the
perimeter of the British line, getting Hessians and some English to
desert, all the while convincing the British of his numerical
superiority. At Ebenezer, he maintained his position in spite of
continued British probes and Creek attacks.
In March, when word of Creek Indians from the Altamaha traveling to
Savannah reached General Wayne, he attacked the Ogeechee Bridge on the
King's Road, defeating a small British force. When the Creek Indians
arrived his men accepted the gifts they were bringing to the British
in Savannah. These gifts included much needed food. Then on June 23,
1782, a band of some 100 Creek warriors Coming to the aid of the
British trapped in Savannah attacked Wayne's line from the rear. Since
these were seasoned Regulars, the line did not break as one might
expect, but fought back, initially with return fire, then in
hand-to-hand combat before reinforcements arrived. Unknown to Wayne at
the time, his men killed the chief of the Creek tribes, Emistesigo.
Finally, after some five months under near-siege conditions the
British withdrew, the Regulars and government to Charleston, the
loyalist militia to Florida. Wayne deferred entering the town, letting
Lt. Col. James Jackson retake the town he had given up three years
earlier. Almost as quickly as the British withdrew from Savannah
Anthony Wayne was called to Charleston to support Nathanael Greene
force. Greene was concerned that the additional troops from Savannah
might encourage the besieged British to try an offensive maneuver.
They did not.
(Liberation of Georgia)
Meanwhile, Jackson headed south along the Georgia, chasing the
loyalists and a few British regulars towards St. Augustine. On July
25, 1782 Jackson encountered a small group of British Marines on
Skidaway Island on the coast of Georgia. This is the last encounter of
U.S. troops and British troops anywhere within the present-day
boundaries of the state of Georgia. A small battle occurred in the
vicinity of present-day Chattanooga that did involve farmers that
lived within the current boundaries of the state. British agitated
Chickamauga Cherokee led by Skyuka met a loose-knit band of settlers
under the command of John Siever on the north face of Lookout
Mountain. This is sometimes characterized as the last battle of the
Revolution, but British agitated Indian-settler conflicts continued
through November.
In September of 1779 the Spanish, who had joined the war on the
American side, retook British West Florida. After the loss of Savannah
the Spanish walked into St. Augustine and claimed the city with little
resistance from the British. February, 1783, marked the official
cession of hostilities and on September 3, 1783 the Treaty of Paris
was signed, ending the Revolution. The 13 colonies had defeated the
most powerful nation in the world.

From Melissa Hogan - 2005:
"Since that last e-mail I visited the library once more and have tried
to place the tax digests and deed records in some kind of
chronological order . .. they are deed transfers missing . . . and I
have questions how Aaron (for example) could pay for 160 acres one
year, then 140 the next and then back to 160 . . . and other quirky
things . .. I am wondering if perhaps they leased the land out with
the agreement that the person leased to had to pay taxes or something
. . . as you will see there is lots of 'trading' of land . . .

Aaron married Lydia MNU (Campbell) between 1780 and 1785 in NC. Lydia was born between 1760 and 1770 in SC (?); died after 1830. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Lydia was listed in the Land Records, and Tax Records of John
Campbell.

Other Events:

• Elected: 26 Apr 1826, Creek Territory, now Alabama

Notes:

Hopothla means "Crazy War Hunter".

The Muscogees- we call them Creeks to identify them from other Native groups of the area -- the Southeastern United States -- the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw-- were really a group of tribes. Kashitas, Koasati, Yammassee, Tuckabatchee, Coosa, Coweta, Alibamo are some tribes associated with Creeks. They mainly lived along waterways of (now) Alabama and Georgia, in villages connected by paths-- trading paths. And threaded among the trading paths were hunting paths. Crisscrossing the trading and hunting paths were war paths. A telling pattern.

Menewa's (1765 - 1843) boyhood name was Yoholo; the name given to him
by his father was Othlepoya Yoholo. When the Creeks chose him as chief
in 1820, he became known as Menewa. On April 26, 1826, he was chosen
as the principle chief of the Creek Indian tribes. (This information
is from a letter written by Mary Ann Campbell Peigh of Bessemer,
Alabama, on December 28, 1970, to her uncle, Joshua Banks Campbell.)
Menewa married Hannah Cornell, also a Creek. They had two children,
Katee Ann (1786 - 1865) and Little Warrior (1785 - 181?). Katee Ann
married Reuben Weed (Creek, ? - 1814; died in Battle of Horseshoe
Bend), and they had Katee (1804 - 1890), Hannah (died 1880), and
Charity Yoholo (died 1872). Charity, Menewa's grandaughter, married
Robert David Campbell (1767 - 1835), and they had twins Asa and
Nathan, and two girls and another son who seem to have disappeared
with their mother. Asa and Nace were raised by their father's brother,
Calvin, upon their father's death. (Source: Amanda Givens. Ancestry
Post 4 May 2005)
(Note: His name given by his peers was "Hopothla". His parents are not known. MCM-2005)

In 1835 he sent his oldest son to serve against the Seminoles in Florida.

Hopothla married Hannah Cornell before 1785 in Creek Territory, now Alabama. Hannah (daughter of Dave (Tutenuggee Cornell and Sukey Cornell) was born about 1767 in Creek Territory, now Alabama; died in 1880 in AL. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
