I am interested in any information you have on Drury Campbell. You say Drury J. Campbell born 1790 is the son of Drury Campbell. I have a will for Drury Campbell that is dated 30 Jan 1781. It leaves a 100 acre tract of land to his son John. He also leaves an adjoining 100 acre tract to his wife Elizabeth and upon her death it is to go to his only son John or his heirs. Executors: John Campbell, Isreal Moore. Witness Elizabeth Moore. It wasn't recorded until March 1, 1793. In 1800 Kershaw County there is a John Campbell old enough to be this only son and there is also a Joseph, James and John. James and John are more than likely the older John's sons. Joseph could be too...on the younger end of the 26 to 45 and John on the older end of it at 45??? Both Johns could be the father of the Drury from 1790. I don't think James had any kids in that age group...and I don't know about Joseph...census is on the fritz right now.
There are two of my Campbells in Kershaw in 1800 from Fairfield, William and Lewis (listed as Cammell). Question is does their father James Campbell born about 1730 tie into Drury Campbell who died in 1781. Drury is an unusual name in all of the Campbells I have researched. But it is more than abundant in the Smith name. My James Campbell has a John Smith who has connections into his family. This John Smith is in Richmond County, NC with James Campbell's family and he is in Fairfield County with his daughters married into the Campbell family. This John Smith has a son named Drury. There are a couple of other factors that make me question if the early Drury Campbell isn't connected into James Campell in Fairfield in 1800. Do you have anything back to the original Drury Campbell? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
