Part 5 : 1852-1860 (http://www.columbustexas.net/library/history/part5.htm)

South of Columbus, Andrew Monroe Campbell, who was Harriet Burford's younger brother, owned more than 1000 acres and 26 slaves.

=================================

As the B B B & C [Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado Rail Road] approached the Colorado River, several men, among them William Harbert, Andrew M. Campbell, and George W. Smith, contemplated extending the railroad from the Colorado to San Antonio and beyond. Accordingly, on February 16, 1858, the legislature chartered the Columbus, San Antonio and Rio Grande Railroad Company, empowering it to build track from Columbus through Gonzales and San Antonio all the way to the Rio Grande River. However, as so many other would-be railroad builders had discovered before them, a company needed more than ambitious plans to succeed. The legislature again imposed strict deadlines on the company; the company was again unable to meet them; and the legislature subsequently extended the deadlines. The original charter gave the railroad two years to begin building track and four years to finish 25 miles; on February 8, 1860, the legislature amended it to allow an additional year to begin building track.

================================

Three of the four men who were elected county commissioners in 1860, Kidder Columbus Walker, Alexander Dunlavy, and A. Boyd Bonds, owned slaves, as did the man who had been chief justice for several years, Andrew M. Campbell.

Source: Eighth Census of the United States (1860) Schedule 1, Schedule 2, Colorado County, Texas; Colorado Citizen, May 14, 1859. Mention should also be made of John Simmons, a sixty year old farmer originally from Mississippi, who owned one slave, certainly for humanitarian reasons. His slave, who was said to be 100 years old, apparently because of his advanced age, was accorded by the census taker the special privilege of having his name, Jim, recorded.

================================

By the end of the year [1859], many citizens had abandoned any hope that the B B B & C would bridge the Colorado at Columbus, and a move to create a new railroad, one that would tap into the B B B & C line, build a bridge at Columbus, and link up with the as yet imaginary line of the Columbus, San Antonio and Rio Grande Railroad, had sprung into existence. On February 2, 1860, the required company, named the Columbus Tap Railway Company, was chartered by the legislature. Six men, Campbell, Smith, Tait, John G. Logue, Isam Tooke, and Joseph Worthington Elliott Wallace, the first four of whom were also associated with other railroads, were named commissioners. The new railroad was given three years to build track to and a bridge across the river at Columbus. But their bridge, unlike that of the B B B & C at the Brazos, was not required to make any concession to boats that might attempt to navigate the river.

Source: Colorado Citizen, December 22, 1859; Gammel, comp., The Laws of Texas 1822-1897, vol. 5, pp. 127-132. By 1860, Logue had become a commissioner of the Columbus, San Antonio, and Rio Grande (see Gammel, comp., The Laws of Texas 1822-1897, vol. 5, p. 169).

Part 6 : 1861-1865 (http://columbustexas.net/library/history/part6.htm)

Chief Justice Andrew Monroe Campbell also came to San Antonio, though only to deliver clothing that had been gathered for the company, and presumably to visit his son.

Shropshire's slave was named Bob, Wright's Howell, and Oakes' Mac. The fourth slave, whose name was Ed, was brought into the field by James Carson, who started his military career as a private, but was promoted sergeant two months after he enrolled.

Across the river from the Eagle Lake Bottom, and upriver and nearer Columbus, the plantations of Henry David Rhodes, who owned 104 slaves in 1864, Charles William Tait, who owned 68, Lawrence Augustin Washington, who owned 26, George S. Turner, who owned 23, and Ethelbert Bruce Fowlkes, who owned 36, and those of James Wright, who owned 42, John Pinchback, who owned 92, William and Mary Pinchback, who had 73, Isam Tooke, who had 22, Philip E. Waddell, who had 34, John Oscar Tanner, who had 30, James Carlton, who had 32, Andrew Monroe Campbell, who had 56, and the estates of Abraham Alley, which had 33, and of John F. Miller, which had 22, would also be profoundly effected by emancipation.
