Descendants of Matthew * McCAMMON

Generation No. 1

1. MATTHEW *² MCCAMMON (UNKNOWN FATHER¹) was born February 23, 1757 in County Antrim, Ireland, and died October 10, 1841 in Buried on"Church" Farm,Haddon Twp,Sullivan. He married MARY * DOUGLAS in May have married Martha TRIMBLE or GALEY. She was born Abt. 1760 in Ireland (or poss. Scotland?)-1st name is not well documented, and died in This may be Martha (or Mary is 1st wife?).

Notes for MATTHEW * MCCAMMON:

Matthew McCammon was born 1757 in County Antrim, Ireland. drafted at age 22 into the South Carolina Militia in the Camden Dist. was under Capt. Knox' Company, Col.E. Keshaw's South Carolina Regiment in 1779, and in 1780 under command of Henry Bishop & later in 1780 with Col. Wade Hampton. Still later he served with South Carolina Troops under Major Bleauford. Pension claim: S 17578 was allowed Aug.13, 1832 in Sullivan Co, IN.

Matthew shows up on the July 23, 1784 tax list for Fayette Co., KY. Then on the Aug.29, 1800 Kentucky census in Jessamine Co., KY. By 1810 census in Shelby Co., KY. In 1820 he was in Sullivan Co., IN., probably moved there in 1816, as there is a land entry there dated Oct. 4, 1816.

By 1840 he was shown on a census of Revolutionary War Veterans living in the home of Edward Neal. He died at the home of his daughter Gennie Neal near Paxton, IN. I have two dates of death for him: Aug. 6, 1841 & Oct. 10, 1841.

I have received email from a McCammon publisher & writer, Glynn McCalman: 1121 Lee Circle, Edinburg, Texas 78539. He gave me the 4 brothers listed here of Matthew. He also says that Matthew was living next door to a William Neal in 1789 @ Fayette Co, KY was Wm. Neal. He moved to Jessamine Co., KY by 1793, and on to Shelby Co. by 1803, and arrived to Sullivan Co, IN circa 1816. He also mentions that Matthew may have also married Martha TRIMBLE?.... But Geo. McCAMMON has Matthew's wife a Martha GALEY! .... none of them say Mary DOUGLAS??

The McCammon line probably came to Antrium Co., Ireland from Scotland during the reign of Queen Mary in the 15th Century. In Scotland the name was believed to have been CAMERON. Earlier these people migrated from Denmark where the name was AMERUND.

Notes for MARY * DOUGLAS:

George McCAMMON does not mention this wife of Matthew's. He gives as the only known wife is Martha, and believes her maiden name was GALEY. Another researcher sent me Martha's name as TRIMBLE !... the first time I've seen the TRIMBLE name other than the one who married Wm. COWDEN. Most of Jane Douglas "Ginney"s descendants however have handed down that at least HER Mother was Mary DOUGLASS or DOUGLAS. Donn Neal tells me that he believes (although has NO proof), that Mary DOUGLAS was an earlier wife of Matthews and died in SC or NC a short time after Jane's birth and he later married Martha GALEY. Unfortunately NONE of us really know much of anything about ANY of his wives... It seems just as likely to me that his only wife was Martha DOUGLAS and the GALEY or TRIMBLE name may have been a first husband's name before marrying Matthew. Since the GALEY name came only from a male who signed for her marriage to Matthew does not make Mr. GALEY her Father.

Children of MATTHEW MCCAMMON and MARY DOUGLAS are:

Generation No. 2

2. JANE * "GINNEY" DOUGLAS³ MCCAMMON (MATTHEW *², UNKNOWN FATHER¹) was born 1785 in North Carolina; or KY see NOTES (BD is questionable), and died July 9, 1871 in Paxton, IN; Neal Cem. Sullivan Co.;or 7-8. She married THOMAS *"ED"WARD NEAL April 12, 1802 in Jessamine Co, Kentucky (Name on Cert:NEEL). He was born 1763 in Kentucky Or Pennsylvania ?; Prob. 1775-80?, and died September 21, 1846 in Sullivan Co.IN;Neal-PaxtonCem.(poss.9-2-46.

Notes for JANE * "GINNEY" DOUGLAS MCCAMMON:

Some records say she was born in 1771, personally I think that was the inability to read the gravestone, since an age of 100 plus her father Matthew would have been 14 years old when she was born if his b.d. of 1757 is accurate? so 1791 or at the earliest 1781 would be believable. Plus all the rest of the children where born (known dates from 1796 to 1803) much later than Jane if she was actually born in 1771...so the only other explanation would be more than one wife for Matthew and/or an earlier birthdate for him. My first argument above (1791) seems very plausible. Another source a Mr. George W. McCammon has written Ralph Woodward a letter stating the 1860 census shows her born in KY and age 80 at that time. They have concluded B.D. as 1787. The most probable range of B.D. being 1781 to 1791.

George McCammon mentions in his first book that Family lore relates that Ginney Neal lived to be 100 yrs & 4 days. This item he says appeared in the Sullivan Co. Democrat of 12 July 1871: "Died on Saturday, July 8th, Mrs. Neal. It seems that the age cannot be exactly arrived at, but from the best information that can be gathered she must at least have attained the age of 100 yrs." Tombstone shows: Jane D. Neal, wife of Edward, d.July 9th, 1871 age 100 y.

1850 Sullivan Co census shows: Jane D. Neal age 63, b. NC; cens.Pg.220

1860 " " " : Virginia Neal age 80, b. KY ; cens.Pg.23

1870 " " " : Jane Neal age 93 retired, b. NC and father of foreign birth, and living in home of Sarah Anderson, age 69, Sarah b.KY

Regarding the above census reports. I view the 1850 census as age 65, not 63 (a little less divergent with the other ages. If we go with the age 65 date in 1850 this would make the BD=1885. In 1860, the age of 80 is consistent with BD=1880. In 1870 an age of 93 puts her BD=1777.... i.e. the birthdate kept getting earlier as her age gets older, thus I would favor a BD of 1885 and Birth state of NC (since she gave it twice, and KY only once).

WILLIAM * "BILLY"⁴ NEAL (JANE * "GINNEY" DOUGLAS³ MCCAMMON, MATTHEW *², UNKNOWN FATHER¹) was born December 15, 1809 in KY; or possibly 1807; near Boonesboro?, and died January 6, 1870 in Sullivan Co.IN -poss. Jan. 9). He married (1) ELIZABETH * COWDEN Abt. 1828, daughter of JOHN COWDEN and MARY TRIMBLE. She was born November 6, 1806 in KY; They are on the 1850 Sullivan Co. Cen., and died April 28, 1851 in Sullivan Co.. He married (2) CHARLOTTE G. MOORE January 13, 1853 in Probably Sullivan Co, IN, daughter of ROBERT MOORE and DRUCELLA MILES.

Notes for WILLIAM * "BILLY" NEAL:

On the 1850 census of Sullivan Co, Pg.220, Wm. is shown age 41 with Wife Elizabeth 45, just a yr. before she died, and children Eliza J. 20, Mary A. 18, Thomas 17, William A. 12, Elizabeth 13, John E. 7 & Sarah E. 4.

On the 1860 Sullivan Co. Hadden Twp. census Wm. was on Page 24 then 53 b. KY & living with a 39 y.o. Charlotte ? Possibly young 2nd wife, as Elizabeth died in 1851. With them were kids all b.IN: Wm. A. 21, John E. 16, Sarah E. 15, James S.? 7, Joshua 5 & Lucinda 3. Also with them were 3 children with the last name BLEDSOE: Wm. J. 15, Robt.M. 13 & John 11. Now I presume that the last 3 NEAL children were from he & 2nd wife Charlotte, and the 3 BLEDSOES were from Charlotte & her 1st husband?

Notes for ELIZABETH * COWDEN:

I originally had her birthdate as Nov 1, 1797, but Geo. McCAMMON has a more probable date of Nov 6, 1806, in KY. Also her death date may be April 23 instead of 28th. Brenda Brewer says her BD is 11-1-1797 (she says her tombstone shows died at age 54 yrs 5 months.

2 things wrong with the 1797 BD, 1.) Parents married in 1802. 2.) presuming Billy's bd of 1809 is accurate, and they were married about 1828 or 1829, then She would have been 32-33 and he 19-20.. doesn't seem likely.

17. ELIZABETH *⁵ NEAL (WILLIAM * "BILLY"⁴, JANE * "GINNEY" DOUGLAS³ MCCAMMON, MATTHEW *², UNKNOWN FATHER¹) was born October 14, 1835 in Sullivan Co. IN; maybe 1836, and died August 16, 1866 in Sullivan Co.; age 29 y.o.. She married STEPHEN * S. MOORE February 15, 1858 in this is his 1st of 2 marriages, son of WILLIAM MOORE and ELIZABETH SHIPMAN. He was born June 12, 1832 in Indiana, and died December 13, 1904 in Sullivan Co, Hamilton Twp..

Notes for ELIZABETH * NEAL:

The source of her bd & dd are primarily her gravestone at the Neal-Paxton Cem.: Elizabeth wife of S.S. Moore . Aug. 16, 1866, 29y. 10m 2d. There is much confusion about her since Stephen had a 2nd wife, named Elizabeth H. Moore and whom I cannot find the maiden name of. But that Elizabeth with middle initial "H" is in the Timmon's cemetery and was 10 yrs. older than Stephen. We don't know if he had any chidren with this wife nor do we know when he married the 2nd wife... but we assume all his children we know of including Louisa whose bd we don't know was all from this Elizabeth Neal - his first wife who died at only 29 years old - possibly from childbirth of Louisa ? To me the greatest confusion and question lies in the fact that the death date for Stephen's Mother is within 6 days of his 2nd wife. I wonder if this is incorrectly mixing the two up. But we're confident of the dates for this first wife, Elizabeth Neal.

Notes for STEPHEN * S. MOORE:

Stephen is on the Sullivan Co. 1850 census living with his Father Wm. & Mother Elizabeth & siblings see Notes on his Father.

I have copies of his Obituary, death certificate (in Sullivan Co. Board of Health - Book R-33, Pg. 28), and he is listed in the Sullivan Co. Death index. His obituary reads: "Dec. 15, 1904, Thurs. - Sullivan Democrat (newspaper). Stephen S. Moore died at the home of his sister, 2 1/2 miles east of town, Wed. morning at 6:00, after an illness of 5 months duration of dropsy. His funeral took place this, Thursday morning at 9:00, interment being made in Center Ridge Cemetery. Mr. Moore was between 60 & 70 years of age and was born in Cass Twp. He was twice married, both of his wives being dead." His death certificate states he was 72 years old and died in Hamilton Twp. , date of burial, 12-14-1904 and cause of death listed as Nephritis & No place of burial nor home address was listed. He is listed on the Sullivan Co, Aug. 1870 census in Cass Twp. with his 2nd wife - BUT his name is spelled MORSE there - and so is a good reason why he is not found in the index easily.

Children of ELIZABETH NEAL and STEPHEN MOORE are:

i. MARY ELENOR⁶ MOORE, b. December 12, 1858, Sullivan Co. IN; tombstone says 1859; d. February 22, 1933, Sullivan Co. IN; m. PHILIP * (2) B. GRIFFITH, December 9, 1876, This was Phillip's last (3rd) wife; b. March 22, 1840, Palestine, IL, Crawford Co.; d. May 7, 1914, Sullivan, IN.

Notes for PHILIP * (2) B. GRIFFITH:

Phillip 2s meanderings were very confusing, especially so since he is a fairly recent person in the history, yet I cannot find how it was that he was born in Palestine, IL in 1840, when I have records showing Phillip 1 in Ohio til 1851. William must have wandered further west than Indiana.

In 1997, I found the partial answer to this when I discovered the 1840 census for Crawford Co. IL, Pg. 284. There was Wm. GRIFFITH with 2 males under 5, 1 between 20 & 30 (Wm.), 1 female under 5 (must have died early as I don't have her) & Rosella wasn't born for another 11 yrs., Also Phil's Mother Mary was the only other female, 20-30. Now what tells the story better is that there were 2 MARTIN males living next door to them: one James, which initially I thought must be Mary's Father, but he is much too young: shows 1 (He) 20-30, 2 females one<5 & one 15-20? I assume therefore that this is Mary's Brother. Next to James MARTIN was an older family MARTIN, but whose 1st name I can't make out... looks like starts with a D or P?, the head of household being between 40-50, but with another male in the same age bracket, 3 younger males 5-10, 20-30 & 30-40, then 4 females: 5-10, 15-20, 30-40 & 40-50. From my previous notes on the Martin's I cannot figure out which family this last one is. I suspect the Martin's migrated North to Marshall, IL sometime later, while Wm. & his wife came back to Wooster, OH to his Father within the next 10 yrs.

Notes for ISA"BELL"A * LUCINDA MOORE:

My Father Harold Griffith recalls Belle in her later years as having a mean disposition which got worse when she became senile. However Ralph Woodward recalls her being quite different and he portrays her as a very kindly woman. It is interesting to note that the photos we have of her and her older sister Mary Eleanor appear very similar. I have been unable to find a single photo showing both of them together, so I have often wondered if we are not mixing them up? Remember that those 2 sisters, Belle & Mary Eleanor, married Father & son (Philip & Mart).

This paragraph below is written by Ralph Woodward in an Email to me about my Great-grandmother Belle Moore Griffith:

"There were two expressions I remember hearing from Aunt Belle: The Good Lord must have liked poor people -- He made so many of us. And: Poor

people have poor ways and rich ones mean ways. I was around her most at the time my Granma Griffith was sick for so long before she died.

I was in 8th grade and Bob 6th. Aunt Belle came and stayed at our house and Mom spent every other night helping take care of her Mother. Granma lived

with Aunt Nell and Aunt Bess and alternated with Mother. A neighbor, Cecil Alsman, came about 4AM each morning [ Feb or March] and we did the milking

and fed some, did other chores while Aunt Belle got breakfast. I first got a fire going in the cook stove and the heater in the living room hot. When we

came in for breakfast, she had a big pan of hot biskets, meat and gravy, and we finished up with sorghum molases [creaming it first with either real

butter or peanut butter. Aunt Belle just could not believe the demand for her biskits. That bread pan held three big loaves of bread made in it

and there was always a pan of "yeast starter" on the back of the stove. It took 25 # of flour a week. for the family."

He married ANNA MATILDA GIBBS February 4, 1903, daughter of AL"FRED" GIBBS and EMILY PERSINGER. She was born August 10, 1878 in Washington Co. IN, and died December 9, 1948 in Merom, IN see NOTES (or Dec. 8?).

Notes for ANNA MATILDA GIBBS:

Anna was listed in the 1900 census as a live-in housekeeper for the family of John L. Thompson on Washington St. in Sullivan, IN. At this same time her sister Grace, brother James & half-sibs Asa & Clarence Persinger were still living with Alfred P. Gibbs & Cora (?Elizabeth) in Sullivan. So one would suspect that Anna recently moved out of the Gibbs home to earn a living.
