It is true that his given first names were General William at birth. He never was a General in military service. His father admired General William Campbell, from Kings Mountain under which is served, so much he named his son after him, title in all. He went by the name Campbell in life. He is my 3rd G Grandfather. I also would say his last name is Edmiston is this case.

Also note that "General William Campbell" had an older brother named William B. born in 05 MAY 1781. William B. had a daughter named Martha with wife Elizabeth Ann Boteler. Martha married a Morgan. I will work on my sources, but this would clear up some of the confusion.

Edmiston-278 and Edmondson-833 appear to represent the same person because: Edmundson Edmondson Edmiston and several other variations of the names
Smythe-1187 and Edmiston-278 do not represent the same person because: these people are clearly not the same.

I think his first name was in fact General. It appears on all his records, where his name is abbreviated as G. W. C. Edmiston, instead of General (or Gen.) W. C. Edmiston.
