The book investigated the pioneer and colonial backgrounds of the Monroe and Owen County families of LIVINGSTON, HAZEL, HANSFORD, FULKERSON, as well as COOPER, BOWEN, WRIGHT, FEARS, For the LIVINGSTON family, a strong case is made for descent from the Livingstons of Dunipace, a cadet family (Baronage) of the Livingstons of Callendar. The Dunipace Livingstons lost their estate while living on the edge in "interesting" (17th century) times. I have vistited Scotland on a few occassions to conduct research on these matters with some interesting results. I have also had assistance from various persons who have graciously helped me to understand and update my views on the Livingstons of the Falkirk area. Incidentally, if you want to see and read about Livingston research conducted by myself, my wife Mary Pat, and my daughter, Susan Washabaugh, click on the following links:

(1) An archaeological (surface) survey of the Hills of Dunipace, Scotland which my daughter, Susan, and I conducted June 2000, click [_H_E_R_E_]. Also it is possible through the investigations of Nigel Turnbull to display an aerial view of the Hills of Dunipace Area; click [_H_E_R_E_] for access to that. Note, this tool uses Microsoft's Live Search site and Nigel's programming to find the correct location and requires Nigel's access as built into this link

(2) Or perhaps you seek a little earlier history of the downward spiral of the Livingstons at the end of the 17th century. Try Susan's and my investigation of Linlithgow Palace as shown [_H_E_R_E_].

(3) Or for a little controversy, check out my analysis of DNA testing showing connection between various Poropotank Livingstons and the possible connection to the Dunipace Livingstons. A working hypothesis has been that if a Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) has been found via DNA comparison between a Poropotank Livingston (myself for example) and a documented line such as the New York Livingstons, or the Callendar Livingstons, or another documented line with a known connection to the Dunipace Livingstons, that MRCA might support the tenuous paper connection between the Poropotank Livingstons and the Dunipace Livingstons. Check the current state of that ghostly MRCA [_H_E_R_E_].

Also check on whom he begot [_H_E_R_E_]. If interested, you can see the Virginia succession from the speculative first John down to William Todd Livingston's child, Peter [_H_E_R_E_]. Then the only step remaining is checking on the generation that Peter fathered, the second wave that left Virginia [_H_E_R_E_].

Hazel Family Matters:

For the HAZEL family, connections have been made through the Northern Neck Virginia Hazels to origins in Kent County, southeast of London, England. The connection of the HANSFORD family to the Hansfords of Pulaski County, Kentucky is proven. Hundreds of other stories and tie-ins are described in more than seventy two thousand words of text with additional genealogical charts, maps, and illustrations.

Here are some samples of Hazels from this volume of Serious Business.



• Caleb Hazel Sr.'s Descendant Chart Revolutionary soldier, Kentucky pioneer, and Abe Lincoln's grade school teacher. Yep, this giant red-headed Caleb could read and write, or at least he was big enough to convince his pupils to read and write. He came from Northern Neck Virginia just before his marriage in Nelson County, Kentucky on Valentines Day 1785. See several generations of red headed diligent and eager readers that descended from this fine fellow. The book also has his ancestors, or at least who I think his ancestors were.
• The Caleb Hazel-Elizabeth Hall 1785 Marriage Return facsimile.
• My Hazel connections all appear to come from the Northern Neck of Virginia, but just in case your Hazel connections are from deeper south, say around South Carolina, you might want to drop a certain Barbara a note. She is working that hagle of Hazels. There is the Hazel List as well - DNA and proof galore abound.
• And now, if you would like to read a humorous short story about a rather violent martian professional genealogist doing some unusual research back on earth in the year 2141 a.d., click DANGER, GENEALOGIST AT WORK. Yes, that's my work, not my wife's.

Campbell Family Matters:

This is today's actual stuff, not a novel. Nothing but the truth. There are escalating squabbles and controversy about my results. But, like any genealogist worth his salt, I am totally convinced I have the answer!! I know which highland-fling of Campbells in Scotland these guys descend from, and also those Waldorfs (from Germany) and Gallups (Gottlobs from Saxony) are finally explained, so get ready with your salt shaker.

The William Campbell (Ship's Master according to
Burke's American Families of British Ancestry) vs.
James Campbell (fully documented paper trail)
Controversy Resolved

According to the estate papers, this James left two minor sons, John and William and an adult daughter Elizabeth, along with an interest in some property at the head of St. Martin's River. Since there is only ONE William Campbell and ONE John Campbell of the correct age and location in the area then they MUST be the William and John of interest. Of course, the property itself wasn't far from the property disposed of by my William Campbell in his move to Preble County, Ohio about sixty years later. In fact, it looks to be exactly the same property. Much of the confusion arises because of that shift in the lower boundary of Delaware about the time James died; specifically, upper Worcester County, Maryland turned to lower Sussex County, Delaware, but kept the name "Baltimore Hundred" on both sides of the line. Many of the deeds of this place and era went unrecorded in Delaware. Also, much of the land suffered a drift in the names over time (Fortune became Forten, Collins' Lot may have become Long's Lot, etc). A full understanding of James' parentage is clouded by similar problems.

Campbell DNA Results:

You can see a short history on the Couch web site (where they have a 12 marker connection, not as strong as the mutual 25 and 37 marker one). They do not connect with any other known Campbell lines. The paper trail on this line continues back to the previously mentioned James in the 17th century on the Accomack penninsula, Virginia but the paper trail is not foolproof. The usual system of correct dates and names tracks as indicated, but the large number of Campbell individuals in that era and location preclude making identification absolute. The haplogroup has been tested and found to be R1a1. It would be very helpful to have DNA from a descendent along another line in the Selbyville area.

Other pertinent information will eventually be provided that shows a Tinker surname MRCA at 11 generations, or about 1655AD which would be shortly before the first Campbell of the line having a record on the Accomack Penninsula if one can believe that paper trail.

The DNA results relating to the Turner and Tinker Families seems to be significant and is a work in progress. The current stage of results can be seen {_H_E_R_E_}. The work also may relate to proximity on the Accomack Penninsula.

See Curtis C. Siver's site

As far as my research on Josiah, you should see Josiah's house in Eaton, Ohio. Yes, it is very much still standing, and what a mansion. My book has a picture of it and a picture of that captain of industry himself, Josiah Campbell, recovered from a damaged photo of an oil painting.

Also included are the Waldorf, the Gallup, and the Woods families, recently allied with this specific bunch of Campbells of Indiana, late of Preble County and Delmarva. I think I have those Gallups explained at last.
