Hi Myrtle,
 
I found the James Campbell genealogy at the Richmond County website along with the other wonderful 
entries that you have done.  I can give you some info on Richard Leake.  His wife was Elizabeth Hill, 
daughter of John and Elizabeth of Hanover County.  Daughter Susannah married James Campbell.  Richard 
Leake was in Lunenburg County Virginia before moving to Anson County and when the county was divided, 
was in the part that became Richmond.  He is mentioned many times in the records of both counties and 
died in 1784 in Orange County.  
 
His grandson was named executor of his will.  HIs name was Walter Slaughter, my 4th great grandfather.  
His son, Richard Slaughter, was also named in his will, as well as James Campbell and daughter Susannah.
 
Richard Leake was the son of William Leake and Mary Bostick and was christened at St. Peter's Parish, 
in New Kent County, Virginia on December 13, 1702.  His childhood years were spent at the family home 
at Rocky Springs in Henrico County.  Timothy Mask was the brother of Judith Mask, who married Walter Leake, 
brother of Richard. Bob Taylor

Myrtle, 
A good friend of mine, Linda ORouke, did research on Richard and being that we both had a Campbell line 
in Hickman Co TN., shared her finds with me. I find many near hits online and thought you might be interested 
in some of the things we ran down. I enjoy your site and all the information you have shared. 

Linda sent me a copy of Richard Leake's will and we really had some questions with it. He died in 1784 and 
mentioned many of his grandchildren by name. Richard was not referred to as a grandchild.....he would have 
been 26 at that time and I think, received slaves or a slave. This is from memory. We both felt that he was 
the husband of Susannah Leake. 

James Sr was not included in this will by name or as referenced as a husband. They had the two children Mary 
and James. He married Rachel Smith in Oct 1784 (have a copy of the record) in Richmond CO NC, so would assume 
Susannah had died that year and before her father's will was written. 

BUT....before that....he stated in his RW app that he enlisted the first time in 1775 and resided in Montgomery 
CO NC at that time. On discharge in 1777 he returned to his father's house in Montgomery for one week, then 
re enlisted in the State Service. Also in that app is a letter written by his brother James Jr, who was living 
in Williamsport, Williamson CO TN., where he stated he remembered Richard coming home from service. Williamson 
CO TN is also where Rachel Smith's father died in 1824 but getting ahead of myself. 

As a timeline for Richard, he is known to have been in Montgomery CO NC 1777 with his father. Married Susannah 
approx 1781. Married Rachel Smith 1784 Richmond CO NC. Listed in the 1790 census Richmond with Jas SR and Jas JR 
a few pages over. 

Moved to Fairfield CO SC by 1800 with his brother James Jr and father and some of Rachel's brothers. Rachel also 
had a sister, Smithie, (listed in their father's will) that married James, son of Richard and Susannah and they 
were also there. 

In 1806 Richard sold 120 acres to Amos Arledge for $350...witnessed by Rachel and Smithie. Some say he received 
land as RW payment or a NC Grant in SC but I have not located that. 80 acres of the 120 acres had been granted 
to a Robert McCostes? before Richard had it, so sounds like he purchased this parcel. 
This acreage was located 
on Thorntree Creek. in Dist 6, Fairfield CO SC, in the area of Longtree, next to the Kershaw CO boundry line,
 NE of Ridgeland. Finally have him located in SC! Explains why he was found in the Kershaw CO records....Kershaw 
 County, South Carolina Minutes of the County Court 1791-1799 by Brent Holcomb..."Kershaw was formed in 1791 from 
 counties of Fairfield, Lancaster and Richland. The seat of Kershaw CO was and is the town of Camden"K.  Record 
 dated 12 Aug, 1795...Richard Cambell vs Thomas Daugherty, Att....We find for the Plantiff L 17:10 with lawfull 
 interest on the Different notes of hand with costs of Suit. Alex'r C Carruth, foreman

He and Rachel, along with her brothers, made the move to Williamson CO TN. Richard had around 60 acres there 
that he bought. His brother James Jr apparently went with him, which seemed to indicate their father had died. 
His son James and Smithie did not make the move until their land was sold about 1816. 

Several of Richard's children are in the marriage records in Williamson CO. By 1820 his son Hiram is listed in 
Hickman CO TN. Richard sold out and moved into that area by 1830. By 1840 he and his sons and SIL's all had 
land adjoining one another and take up a whole page in the census. This info was obtained from Fairfield CO SC 
deeds, Williamson CO Deed Books,Platts, census, wills, and court record research Hickman and Perry CO TN. 

In all of this, my line of Campbell did show a DNA match but was 18 years younger than Richard, so not his brother 
William that many have listed. This William was born 1776 in NC but could not prove he could have been the son of 
that brother. My William did name his last son Richard. Hope this wasn't too confusing. 

Both Montgomery and Richmond NC came out of Anson Co 1790. On 23 May 1772 a land entry was made for James Campbell 
for "400 acres on both sides of the Little River, of the great Pee Dee"and issued 23 June 1774, Grant # 714, MARS 
# 12.14.27.3464, in Anson CO. This area is located on the East side of the Pee Dee River. In 1761 a John Smith 
bought land from a William Smith also on the "Little River", Anson CO.  Montgomery Co took the Northern part of 
Anson, Richmond the "area East of the Pee Dee River". The only other Campbell in that area was a Farquhard Campbell, 
who received a land grant in 1797 for 100 acres "West side of South fork of Little River" and 100 acres "East side 
of North Fork of Little River". This was much later than the grant James received so don't know if he was related. 
There are accounts reported of Loyalist and Tories burning houses in the Little River area in the NC archives. 
Conclusion is that Richard and James Sr did not move but that the county was divided, putting them in Richmond for 
the 1790 census. Being that this area borders the SC line, it is easier to see why they moved down to Fairfield CO, 
SC by 1800.  Joan Williams

1.  JAMES1 CAMPBELL was born Abt. 1720.  He married SUSANNAH LEAK, daughter of RICHARD LEAK.  She was born 
Abt. 1725.

Notes for JAMES CAMPBELL:
(Theory only:) Susannah Leak's mother may have been Susannah Hill. The Hills, Masks & Leaks probably 
emigrated to Richmond County, NC from Hanover County VA. The 1733 Hanover Co., VA estate settlement of 
John Hill (Eliza Hill his widow) shows "paid orphans of John Hill as follows: Timothy Mask, George Jones, 
Richd Leake (as sons-in-law and guardians for one or more of the Hill children?), Jno Hill, Susan Hill, 
David Hill and James Hill." 

James Campbell and Susannah had the following children: 
James Campbell Jr.; William Campbell; Richard Campbell (b. abt. 1758). Richard Campbell married  about 1781 
Susannah ... and were parents of: Mary Campbell (b. abt. 1783) and James (b. abt. 1785) Richmond County

Notes for RICHARD CAMPBELL:
Richard Campbell's bible record was included in his application for a pension for his services in the Revolution. 

Richard Campbell fought only minor skirmishes with the Tories while in service. He enlisted 2 separate times. 
After his first enlistment was up he returned to his father's home. When asked about discharge papers he made 
this statement. "My discharge was burnt in my father's house by the Tories. I returned home from this place to 
Montgomery Co in the State of N.C. where I remained not more than a week in my fathers? Home. I could not stay, 
the Tories they had vowed to kill me" Lieutenant Richard Campbell (Source: Some Tennessee Heroes of The 
Revolution", Third Pamphlet Pg 64

Richard Campbell applied for revolutionary pension in 1833 while living in part of Hickman Co TN which became 
Perry Co. He resided in Montgomery Co NC when he re-enlisted within a week in Crawford, Love and Williams North 
Carolina regiment. Then served as First Lieutenant in Captain Douglass Company in Lytles North Carolina Regiment 
until the close of the war.

to his two children by her, Mary and James. Richard Campbell married Rachel Smith in Oct 1789 in Rockingham NC.
