Biography

George was born about 1700. He passed away in 1749. ^[1]

First, let me clear up one of your statements about William Campbell adm. estate of George Campbell (d. 1749 in Caroline). No, a William was not named as executor of his estate. George's will was probated 10 Nov., 1749 naming James Campbell and Elizabeth, the widow, as executors. Elizabeth relinquished her right and an "heir-at-law" (not named) contested the probate, but the will was proved by William Deshazo, Morris Campbell, and Elinor Deshazo (wife of William Deshazo) per Caroline County court orders. Was the "heir-at-law" William or George (b. 1720)??? Caroline Order Bk, p. 179 STC 2016

Note: it was the personal research of Shirley Thompson Craft, licensed genealogist, and descendant of George Campbell, as well as book author on her ancestors, who discovered in the summer of 2011 that this George Campbell 1720-1791 had originated in Caroline County, Virginia before moving into the area of Piney River, Amherst County, Virginia. Shirley Thompson Craft has been instrumental in groundbreaking discoveries, based on court documents and evidence which formed the basis of understanding about who the ancestors of George Campbell were.
