• Notes

  TABITHA ADAMS RUSSELL, daughter of Gen. William and Tabitha Adams Russell, was born in Culpeper county, Va., 1764. She married Capt. William Campbell of Washington county, Va., about 1784. Captain Campbell was the son of Patrick Campbell, and his mother was Miss Steele. His grandfather was also Patrick Campbell, a brother of Charles Campbell, who was the father of Gen. William Campbell of King's Mountain fame. Soon after their marriage they removed to Cumberland, Tenn., which was then in Davidson county, North Carolina. In 1788 they removed to Fayette county, Ky., and settled temporarily on “Elkhorn,” near the residence of Col. William Russell at Russell's Cave. In 1793 they removed thence to Muhlenburg county, and settled permanently at Caney Station, which was upon a portion of the “Russell survey.” Captain Campbell was a man of remarkable purity of character, and of great piety. The following letter written by him was found in the collection of old correspondence, and is probably the only one of his now in existence. It will doubtless be read with interest by his descendants. source: Des Cognets, Anna Russell. William Russell and His Descendants. Lexington, KY: Samuel F. Wilson, 1884.
