Campobello Historic Legal Documents
Updated May 15, 2002

Some of the pages are getting rather large so I have taken "Legal Documents" from the Miscellaneous Page and placed them on here. You will find Wills, Land Grants, Tax Assessments and other "government documents" as they are found or submitted for the site. If you happen to have anything for this page, please let me know. I am especially interested in being able to add some wills to the site. Thanks!!

Wills

1   James Burden Brown 1796-1891

2   Robert Wilson 1768-1844

3  Simon Wilson 1809-1889 This will is VERY informative providing links to about 10 different Campobello Families!!Surnames include, Bassett, Brown, Calder, Langmaid, Lank, Parker, Read, to name a few. Have a look, you may be surprised at what you find!
