Shared note

From Campbell and Allied Families:

Robert Monroe Campbell married twice. I do not know the date of his marriage nor the name of his first wife. The marriage took place before 1830. There were several children born to this union, possibly three or four. The only child of Robert Monroe Campbell and his first wife that we have any record of is Richard Springs Campbell, born in Tennessee, November 19, 1830. He is a half brother to Andrew Monroe Campbell (our ancestor). Richard most likely came to Texas with his father and others in 1851. At any rate records show that he was "Plantation Manager" for a Madam Posey; that he went back to Tennessee to volunteer for service in the Civil War. He served four years in the war, and after Lee's surrender he rode his mule from Virginia to Texas to rejoin his wife who had preceded him to Texas with her parents. He had married Miss Elizabeth Gillis on July 17, 1861. They settled in Tyler County, near Woodville, Texas. From the conclusion of the Civil War until around 1905 or 1906, Richard Springs Campbell lived without knowledge of the whereabouts of any of his Campbell relatives in Texas.

One day in 1905 or 1906 a stranger from Weimar, Texas, happened to talk with Richard Springs Campbell. On learning that Richard Springs was named Campbell, the man mentioned his knowing some Campbells in Weimar. Richard Springs showed him a "tin-type" picture of his father holding the twins, John and Andrew. The man at once identified the group as the Campbells who lived in Weimar! The result, a trip to Weimar was taken soon by Richard Springs Campbell and he was re-united with his Campbell relatives. Records have it that at this time he was an old man with a long, flowing white beard. He was reported to have been called "Uncle Dick" by his newly found relatives in Weimar.

In 1914 William Leonidas Campbell of Anderson, Texas, son of Andrew Monroe Campbell (Robert Monroe Campbell's brother), wrote a letter in which he stated that in 1905 a cousin of his, R. S. Campbell, living in Tyler County, had spent some time with him on a visit. This is very likely the same visit in which he contacted his kin at Weimar, Texas.

Richard Springs Campbell was a great favorite of his grandsons, sons of his daughter, Addie McRee Campbell Pate.

One of his grandsons tells of the time he heard Richard Springs offer another man a knife. He told him "A fellow gave me this knife on one condition. That if I ever met a man uglier than I am that I'd give the knife to him. Here, it's yours!"

Richard Springs Campbell died in 1916 at the home of his daughter, Addie McRee Campbell Pate in Woodville, Texas.
