Eliza Perkins was born March 29, 1830 to William Perkins (1804-1887) and Cintha (Stanfield) Perkins (1806-1859). Eliza Perkins married Joseph Campbell on February 12, 1846 in Campbell County, Tennessee. Eliza Perkins and her sister, Elizabeth Perkins, married brothers: Eliza married Joseph Campbell in 1846 and Elizabeth married Andrew Jackson Campbell in 1844. Eliza and Joseph were the parents of 3 known children: 1) Obedience "Biddy" Campbell (abt. 1848 Whitley KY - ?? Bef. 1860??) 2) George Washington "Wash" Campbell (15 Feb 1850 Whitley KY - aft. 1930) married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Douglas (26 Nov 1853 Jellico, Whitley, KY - 9 May 1927) 3) Elizabeth Campbell (6 Dec 1856 Whitley, KY - 8 Nov 1908 Grayson, TX) md. John Lewis Baird (10 Jun 1852 KY - 31 Jan 1915 Grayson TX) 1850 United States Federal Census Home in 1850: District 1, Whitley, Kentucky, USA Dwelling/Family: 316/316 Joseph Camel 29, Farmer Eliza Camel 22 Biddy Camel 2 Wash Camel 0 Jane Camel 18 George Camel 15 Property: 4 Jul 1855 in Whitley County, Kentucky, USA Joseph and his wife Eliza for $700 deeded to Jackson and Elizabeth Campbell 225 acres. Previous date: June 29, 1855. This is the same land William Perkins deeded to Jackson and Joseph originally granted to Sampson Stanfield. [Whitley KY Deed Bk 4 pp241-243]. Property: 1 Aug 1855 in Whitley County, Kentucky, USA Joseph Campbell (1821-1859) and Eliza (Perkins) Campbell (1828-1859) purchased land from Jesse and Elizabeth Harp. Witness: Andrew Jackson Campbell (1822-1893), Joseph's brother. [Note: Is this be Jesse (abt. 1812-1868) and Elizabeth (Gatliff) Harp (abt. 1817-1864)?] Property: 4 May 1857 in Whitley County, Kentucky, USA Eliza and Joseph Campbell sold to Jackson Campbell 67 acres, on Cain Creek waters of Clear Fork, Whitley County, Ky, for $450. [Whitley KY Deed book 4 pages 464, 465 and 466]. Property: 2 Sep 1858 on Cumberland River, Whitley County, Kentucky, USA Joseph and Eliza sold 160 acres on the Cumberland River in Whitley County, KY for $421 to Samuel and Susan Jayne Smith. [Whitley County Deed book 4 pages 634 and 635] [Note: This deeds provides some indication that Susan Jane (Campbell) Smith (1831-1908) may be the sister of Joseph Campbell (1824-1859) and Jackson Campbell (1822-1893)]. Probate: 8 April 1859 in Whitley County, Kentucky, USA Joseph Campbell, Eliza's husband, has died and probate proceedings have begun on his Estate. On April 8, 1859 in Whitley County, Kentucky, Jackson and Elizabeth Campbell became administrators on the estate of Joseph Campbell, deceased. Elizabeth Campbell is Eliza's sister and Jackson Campbell is the brother of Joseph. Death: 11 Nov 1859 in Whitley County, Kentucky, USA Eliza (Perkins) Campbell died on November 11, 1859 in Whitley, KY. Eliza's husband, Joseph Campbell, died before April 8, 1859 and Eliza's mother, Cintha (Stanfield) Perkins, died December 14, 1859 in Jellico, Campbell County, Tennessee. Burial: Nov 1859 in Stanfield Cemetery, Lot, Whitley County, Kentucky, USA Eliza (Perkins) Campbell was buried in Stanfield Cemetery, Lot, Whitley County, Kentucky. Since Joseph and Eliza both died the same year, it is believed that they are buried next to each other in this small family plot on what was the Sampson Stanfield homestead. It is Eliza (Perkins) Campbell who died in Nov 1859 not Elizabeth (Perkins) Campbell who bore her last child in 1871. So the following quoted information is misleading. ["Stanfield Cemetery in Sandy Flats near Lot and Boston, Ky. Sept 1976. Copied by C. Maynard Cornelius and his sister Shirley Lester." "Campbell, Elizabeth 29 Mar 1830 11 Nov 1859 w/o Jackson; age 29-7-12" "The cemetery site is now being used as a barnyard. Only one stone remains upright and in place, that of Elizabeth Campbell. The stones remaining, including that of Sampson, are piled up under a tree with other rocks that look like a base for a fireplace in an old homeplace." [Whitley Cemetery Books Vol 1 p130]] ["There were only a few headstones left standing (1976). Among those were Elizabeth Campbell, wife of Jackson Campbell, b. 29 Mar 1830, d. 11 Nov 1859 (29 yrs 7 mo. 12 days) William Campbell, son of Jackson and Elizabeth Campbell, b. 18 Dec 1850 - d. 24 July 1851 (age 7 mos. 3 days)" [Hieronymus, Goldie Smith. "Descendants of Sampson Stanfield.." Jan 1978. Arlington, VA: Goldie Smith Hieronymus, May 1981. page 45.]] Probate: 26 Nov 1859 in Whitley County, Kentucky, USA List of items and price offered to sell in Eliza Campbell's sale bill, administrator father William Perkins; Jackson Campbell purchased 1 rifle gun $10, 1 sifter 25 cents, and 1 plow $4. Orphaned Children: 1860 in the 9th/10th Civil District, Campbell County, TN. 17 Jul 1860 • District 9, Campbell, Tennessee, USA Post Office: Archeville; William (55,Farmer), Peter (23,Farm Laborer), Edmond (22,Twin), Rachael (22,Twin), Cynthia (19,), Mary (18), Jane (16), Riley (14), Willam (12), Sterling (10); Washington (10); Elisabeth (4); Real Estate:5500; Personal Estate:1000. Note: Washington and Elizabeth Campbell are living in their grandfather's, William Perkin's, household in the 1760 Census in in Dwelling 736 and Family 729 on page 113 of the 10th Civil District. The William Perkins family are in Dwelling 736 and Family 729 on page 112 which is noted as the 9th Civil District. Probate: 23 Aug 1862 in Whitley County, Kentucky, USA William Perkins administrator for daughter, Eliza (Perkins) Campbell, and son-in-law, Joseph Campbell. [Whitley KY Will Bk 2]. Estate Appraisal for Joseph on page 292; Estate Settlement for Joseph on page 293; Estate Appraisal for Eliza on page 294; Estate Settlement for Eliza on page 295. Appraisal and Settlement dates were the same. [Will book 2, appraisal pages 292 and 294 and settlement same day pages 293 and 295]. ******* Note: While the names Eliza/Louisa are used interchangeably, Eliza is NOT a nickname for Elizabeth! Sadly, the pointers will be off on Ancestry and other places because someone rushed to the conclusion that Eliza and her sister Elizabeth should be merged in spite of 20 years of research and family information to the contrary. So Eliza's memorial will likely forever be linked to Elizabeth which will cause the ripple effect of these sisters being conflated indefinitely. ******* Information provided by: Carol Golden .
