Surnames/tags: campbell virginia botetourt_county
Purpose
The purpose of the Campbells of Botetourt County Virginia is to identify the various Campbell families that settled or passed through Botetourt County, Virginia. The long-term goal of this project is to collect male Y-DNA from Campbell male descendants of these Campbell male settlers.
In an effort to untangle the genealogies of the Campbells of Botetourt County Virginia we are collecting marriage, land and probate records of the Campbells of Botetourt County. This page has the Campbell Probate records for the years 1774 to 1843.
If your Botetourt County Campbell ancestors WikiTree profile has not been attached in the table, please post a comment or send us a private message with the WikiTree ID number and we'll attach it. If your Botetourt County ancestors profile does not have a Y-DNA test attached we encourage a descendant to take a Y-DNA test so we can properly document the line for posterity.
Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in G2G using the project tag, or send me a private message. Thanks!

I do not see Malcom's son William attached to Malcom Campbell-30560. The only child listed for Malcom and Isabella is Archibald. How would you feel about creating profiles for Archibald's siblings or at least William's line at minimum? Currently you are the most qualified to do that. If not if you know of a reliable genealogy of William's line.
From photo copy I made of Botetourt Co. VA Will Book A pg. 78, it reads: "I (Archibald) give & bequeath to my Brother William Campbell's oldest son Thomas Campbell." This differs from comments, "William oldest son of Thomas Campbell." Siblings referred to are children of Malcolm Campbell of 1763 Augusta Co. From Malcolm to Archibald, area in question is transferred from Augusta Co. to Botetourt Co. Thank you. The Rev'd. Dr. Ronny W. Dower.
