   Neil Campbell
   Born 8 Jan 1744 in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotlandmap
   Son of John Campbell and Elizabeth (Logan) Campbell
   Brother of Catherine (Campbell) Brugh, Daniel Campbell and Catherine Campbell
   Husband of Tabitha (Ballou) Campbell Ballenger — married [date unknown] [location unknown]
   Father of Elizabeth Campbell

   Neil Campbell was a Scottish immigrant to colonial Virginia. He never married. However, he had one child only, a daughter, Elizabeth. Even though she was born out of wedlock, when he died he willed all his estate to her, and her husband Hugh Campbell. Legally, in that time frame, a married woman received an inheritance with her husband.
   
   Neil Campbell was baptised on 8 January 1744 in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, the son of Customs and Excise Officer, John Campbell and his wife Elizabeth Logan. Neil was indentured in 1758 to Archibald Ingram, John Glassford and Company, Glasgow (a famous Tobacco Lord) for five years service in Virginia. (John Glassford's support for the Americans during the War of Independence led to his bankruptcy in Scotland). I have only yesterday, found some trees on Ancestry and your 2005 thread to flesh out the little knowledge I had of Neil, his widow Tabitha and his daughter Elizabeth. Neil's sister Catherine Campbell was married to James Brugh in Perth, Scotland, in 1759, and I have seen references to Neil's Will in that of his nephew Captain (of the Honorable East India Company's Native Infantry) Andrew Brugh, who was killed in India in 1804. I note that Tabitha was the second wife of Joseph Ballenger (who I had previously been advised was a baptist preacher) and seems to have had no other children apart from Elizabeth. I have not found Hugh Campbell and Elizabeth in Tenessee and am not aware whether they had any family. I can provide information on the Brughs, but that would not help your quest on the Campbells in Virginia. Regards, Donald (in Edinburgh)
