LEDGER OF SAMUEL F. CAMPBELL

By: Mrs. H. W. (Sara John) English

"This ledger was written in the handwriting of Samuel F. Campbell, and was kept up to his death. It is now (1927) owned by Mrs. A. B. McKinney (his daughter) who lives west of Jacksonville, Illinois. This record was copied October 29th, 1927 by Sara John English, State Librarian, Illinois D.A.R., from the old book itself."

Florence published this in January 1997 because it contained many names of people in the area - I've included it on this site for the same reason. ********

Notes by Sarah John English follows: "I copied all the references to persons made in his (Samuel F. Campbell) entries of each day, thinking they might be of use or of interest to someone. Though some of the persons mentioned are not any relation to him or his wife. James and Peggy Campbell came here before Samuel F. Campbell. The father came to Morgan County, Illinois in the winter of 1831-1832.
