Records for William Campbell in Old Augusta

Family

Image:Preliminary Family Tree of the Campbells of Augusta County.jpg
A number of lines of Campbells in Old Augusta, especially on Beverley's Manor, trace their lineage to the sons of Duncan Campbell and Mary McCoy. Evidence that Duncan and Mary were actually their parents, has not come to hand, and given the issues associated with this couple, the connection may be apocryphal.

    April 1747. - Hugh Campbell a child baptized named William.

    Six years later Jane [Campbell] Berry, was listed as living in the household of her oldest son, Hugh in Washington County. In the late spring of 1818 her brother, William Campbell, passed away in Botetourt County, leaving a monetary bequeathment to his surviving siblings and their descendants. She appears again in 1830 in Hugh’s household at the age of 87, and passed away there three years later in the early fall of 1833. A few years later Hugh made some monetary claims against her estate to compensate for the costs associated with his elderly mother’s care in her old age, and appears to have received the monetary compensation that his mother had been bequeathed from her brother, William Campbell.
