  1. 6.  Aaron Campbell, Jr. was born about 1796 in NC (son of Aaron Campbell, Sr. and Lydia MNU (Campbell)); died on 2 Nov 1858 in Bibb Co., (Chilton Co.) AL.

    Notes:


    Found an Aaron Campbell on Genealogy.com: Early Georgia Settlers,
    1700 - 1800s.

    1825 Bibb County Alabama Commissioner Court Minutes - found by John D.
    Glasscock (E-mail: jondavid@hiwaay.net (John D. Glasscock) 12095
    County Road 51, Jemison, AL 35085, phone 205.688.4343. He descends
    from John Milton Glasscock, Jr.) :
    "Ordered that James Glascock, Thomas Glascock, Calvin Glascock, John
    Milton Glascock, Jr., Aaron Campbell, Alexander Wilson pay quarter
    yearly on the first of January, April, July, and October to the
    overseer of the Poor in Capt. Benjamin M. Reynolds Militia Company the
    sum of three dollars each to be applied by the said overseer of the
    poor and his successors for the support and maintenance of John M.
    Glascock, Snr., father of the said James, Thomas, Calvin and John M.
    Glascock and father in law of the said Aaron Campbell and Alexander
    Wilson."

    In 1830 there is a female age 50/60 living with them. I believe this
    is Aaron's mother, Lydia.

    1840 census there is a male 20-30 yrs. old living with them. Is this
    another son? Image 13:

    Aaron Jr. and Martha were among the first settlers into the Mulberry
    settlement in Bibb Co. Al. They were among the group who organized the
    Mulberry Church.

    Aaron Jr. could have been in the War of 1812 at age 16. He was
    probably given a land grant of approx. 476 acres in Bibb Co., AL by
    the government. This land is mentioned in Patsy Campbell's Will.,
    which I have not been able to find.

    3 Campbell's appear in Bibb County by 1825, Aaron, David (and Charity)
    and Elijah (and Lizzie Kemp).

    There were two Elijahs in Bibb Co. One I have listed as son of Aaron
    Sr. and Lydia Campbell. This Elijah died 10 Oct 1843. The other, son
    of David and Charity Campbell, is listed in a census for 1850, Bibb
    Co., AL, and was married to Caroline Vines. All of their kids had
    names that were repeated in the Campbell line.

    Land Patent for Aaron Campbell, Jr:
    Pantentee's Name: Aaron Campbell,
    Issue Date 1 Apr 1850,

    (1880--.039)
    Doc. #37856.

    There was a Henry Campbell listed in either VA or NC who was married
    to Charity LNU. He was also possibly a family member, or could have
    been Aaron Sr.'s father. John Campbell has not been proven as Aaron
    Sr.'s father so far.

    Aaron Jr.'s Will filed in Bibb Co. Alabama 4 July 1857:
    'I Aron Campbell of the State and County aforesaid being of sound

    All Aaron's living daughters and their husbands contested the will and
    requested a jury to adjudicate. On the day set for the hearing,
    William Green Rasberry and his wife, Malonia Astoria Campbell
    Rasberry, requested that their names be removed as contestants to the
    will. This request was granted. The will stood as valid and the other
    sisters and their husbands had to pay all court costs:
    Alabama State Records, Vol. 225 (Gandrud) p30:
    "p. 787. Contest of the will of Aaron Campbell by his heirs, James
    Cobb and wife Elizabeth, Alfred Palmer and wife Melissa, Wilson
    Davenport and wife Elmina; guardian ad item appointed for William
    Young Nix; William Rasberry and his wife Melona withdrew from the
    contest, which was heard March 31, April 1, 2, 3 [Year not shown,
    apparently 1858]. The will was established and costs assessed against
    the complainants. The heirs were named as daughter Elmira the wife of
    Wilson Davenport, daughter Elizabeth the wife of James Cobb, son Alva
    Campbell, daughter Melissa Palmer, William Young Nix son of deceased
    daughter Mel[v]ina Nix who is under 21, daughter Melona Rasberry wife
    of William Rasberry, son Lawson Campbell. Wife Martha Campbell for
    life; she the sole executrix. Dated 4 July 1857 and witnessed by
    Andrew Smitherman, James C. Gardner, and John W. Suttle."

    "Martha Patsy Glascock Campbell, the widow of Aaron, left her property
    equally to the elder of two sons and the oldest two daughters. Have
    not been able to find her Will.

    It has been handed down through the family that Patsy Glascock
    Campbell told her progeny that they were of the Argyle Branch of the
    Campbell Clan.

    During the 18th Century large numbers of immigrants
    came to the Deep River country from the Highlands of Scotland. The
    first major group arrived in 1739 and settled along the Cape Fear
    River in that part of Cumberland Co. that became Harnett Co. and Lee
    Co. This group was called the "Argyle Colony". There were 350
    members of this colony. They received 33 land grants in Cumberland
    Co.,Lee Co., and what is now Moore Co., North Carolina. They also
    made numerous land purchases. (See: "The Highland Scots of North
    Carolina 1732-1776" by Duane Meyer.



    Aaron married Martha Glascock about 1817 in Franklin Co., GA. Martha (daughter of John Milton Glascock, Sr. and Mary Caddell) was born about 1796 in Buncombe Co., NC; died in 1884 in Bibb Co., (Chilton Co.) AL. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    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.

    "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

    (Folks this document proves three generations of Glasscocks, a very
    prominent family in VA. and the Webb family were neighbors to them, in
    Richmond Co., Va along with other Chatham families. (i.e. Hightower,
    Clark, Petty, Scurlock, Hill)

    John Milton's father, Dr. George Glascock, was murdered in 1787 so is
    not listed but his wife and John Milton's mother, Patty, is listed in
    the 1790 census as 4 families away from John Milton Glascock, and only
    3 families from James Caddell who was probably related to Polly, John
    Milton's wife. When or why John moved to Buncombe County or where in
    that county is to be determined.

    After the murder of John Milton's father, Dr. Geo. Glascock, Philip
    Alston was never found guilty of the charge of accessory to murder.
    "The case remained under the jurisdiction of the Wilmington District
    Superior Court even after the Fayettesville District was established
    in 1789 and included Moore Co. There appears to have been difficulty
    in getting people to court to testify against Alston. At the June
    term of 1788 of Superior Court, Reuben Shields, John Harding and Jesse
    Upton were placed under bond to appear at the December 1788 session as
    witnesses against Alston. This was repeated from term to term until
    the December term 1789 when John Milton Glascock, son of George
    Glascock, andf Reuben Shields, were bonded to appear against Alston at
    the June session 1790 (Wilmington Dist. Superior Court minutes
    1789-1791, DCR 12.003)
    The Wilmington District State Docket shows Alston was scheduled for
    trial at the December term, with John Milton Glascock as prosecutor,
    and Henry Person, Jesse Upton, Josephia Payne, Reuben Shields and
    James Maples as witnesses." Philip Alston fled jail about 8 Jan 1790
    causing the trial to be "put off till the party be found". Alston was
    later murdered himself, therefore the trial never continued. (Quotes
    from "A History of the House in the Horseshoe" by Geo. W. Willcox)

    females under 10, 1 female 26-45, and 1 slave.

    Moved to GA 1812-1815, then to TN 1816, and to Bibb Co, AL somewhere
    between 1816 and 1820 (Probably in 1818 when AL became a state). Born
    in Lancaster Co., VA, raised in Carthage, NC, moved to Bunscombe Co.,
    NC, then lived in GA, and TN, then moved to AL where he raised his
    family in several different Alabama counties. In AL settled in
    Isabella & Macedonia Community on the waters of Mulberry Creek. Ths
    area later became Baker Co. for a few years & then Chilton Co.

    John Milton Glascock purchased two "Pre-emption" Land Patents from the
    Cahaba Land Office (sequential certificates #5980 & 5982 dated 1 June,
    1831). John M. is specifically identified as "Senr." on these grants.
    These are for 80 acres (E1/2 of SW 1/4, Sec. 20, T17, R5) which is now
    in the extreme North East corner of Marengo Co. and 80 acres (E1/2 of
    SE 1/4, Sec. 34, T22, R12) which is now in far West Chilton Co. on the
    Bibb Co. line. The term "pre-emption" indicates that the purchaser
    was living (squatting) on the land prior to the time of the survey and
    was thus granted priority in purchasing. The two tracts were 51
    miles apart (as the crow flies).
