There was a James Campbell whose will was
dated 31 Jan 1805, York County, South Carolina.
He names certain of his children in his
will including sons John, Andrew, & Samuel
Campbell and daughters Janet Campbell &
Frances Dunwoody. This family is primarily
buried in Bethel Presbyterian Churchyard,
near Clover, York Co., SC.
I think there may have been other Campbell
children, possibly deceased before their
father James Campbell. I am interested in
whether there was a daughter who married
a Garison.
James' son John Campbell 1770-1813 married
my several times removed great-aunt Sarah
Garison 1777-1840 (both buried Bethel).
The loose estate papers for the 1813 administration
of John Campbell's estate contain a document
that has me puzzled. A renunciation by the
heirs of John Campbell, deceased,that is signed
by John's siblings, of all their rights in John's
estate in favor of Veldure N. [Valdaura Norris]
Garison. But why? Was Valdaura's mother a
Campbell? Was she John's sister? That V.N.
Garison was Sarah (Garison) Campbell's nephew
hardly seems a reason for John's siblings to
relinquish their claims to V.N. Unless V.N.
was also John's nephew?
This document is also signed by James Garison
Senr. who was the father of V.N. Garison.
James Garison Sr. was married to Ann Alexander
by 1806 and had one child by Ann at that time
according to a deed record.
James Garison Senr. was a brother of Sarah
(Garison) Campbell, John Campbell's widow.
Sarah later made her nephew V.N. Garison her
heir when she wrote her own will in 1833.
I am descended from three other siblings of
Sarah and James Garison. My interest in the
Campbells is secondary to my interest in the
Garisons. Have done almost no research on
Campbell families at this point. I do not
know the name of James Campbell's wife.
