• Notes

  From "A History of Mulberry Baptist Church - 1818 - 1968" by Ulysses H. Abrhams: A few early Mulberry Community marriages ... 1820, March 18 - Elijah Campbell - Rebecca Kemp. Solemnized by William McCullers. Description: On Dec. 24, 1838 Keziah appears in "Special Orphan's Court" (Page 255)In the State of Alabama, Coosa County as Elijah's Widow filing her petition that her dower may be allotted to her. Therefore, Elijah's death was before Dec. 24, 1838. I haven't found that record of death. Then Dec. 5, 1842, "Special Orphan's Court" (Ala., Coosa Co.) pg. 34: Whereas in order of court granting to Keziah Campbell (Widow of Elijah Campbell of said deceased) a writ of dower was taken at a special seat of court held on the 1st. of April A.D. 183?(4) which order was never carried into execution by the Sheriff as more fully affirmation of record (page 156 Vol. A) it is therefore considered by the court that the amt. of dower be issued to the sheriff of said county in accordance with the signed order granted at the said time of court to be executed within 3 calendar months from date of this court. Elijah's will is recorded in the "Orphans Court Record of Bibb County, Ala. for the estate of Elijah C. Campbell", page 158. The will lists the following as his children "Ira Campbell, James Campbell, Cynthia Campbell, (George)Washington Campbell, John Campbell,and William Campbell". Also, at this time Keziah has married Elisha Robertson (Robinson). Their marriage is recorded in Marriage Record Book, Coosa Co., Al, page 65 & 66. They were married Dec. 28, 1838. However, I have been unable to find this man anywhere except in a few random papers as a "not so upstanding" citizen. Don't know what ever happened to him. 1830 United States Federal Census Name: Elijah Campbers [Elijah Campbell] Home in 1830 (City, County, State): Bibb, Alabama Free White Persons - Males - Under 5: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 5 thru 9: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 20 thru 29: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 5 thru 9: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 20 thru 29: 1 Free White Persons - Under 20: 5 Free White Persons - 20 thru 49: 2 Total Free White Persons: 7 Total - All Persons (Free White, Slaves, Free Colored): 7 Description: Daughter of Elijah and Keziah is Cynthia Campbell, born about 1827, She married Emory Davenport Aug. 19, 1845 in Bibb Co., Al.
