Hello:
In my husband's line, there is a James Edward Campbell, whose son, James Edward Campbell, AR Civil War veteran, married a Parker and, with this girl, had, I believe, a "Mally and Mollie Campbell," twins, I assume.Most likely this James E. died young, because these girls were reared by a well-to-do aunt and her husband John Read of Rocky Comfort, AR, and they are written of and referred to in John Read's bio in Goodspeed's biographies for SW Arkansas.Mr. Read was married to Mary Elizabeth Campbell, born in Lauderdale, AL, and who died in Little River county, AR.I have wondered about Mollie and Mallie, but as yet have had no info on them, and this Mollie may not be the one to whom you have reference, in any case.Please let me know if you would be interested in continuing this possible connection further and I will give you more of what I know about this family.
Thank you,
Cheryl Bowman
