In the papers in claim R. File No. 1627, it is alleged that Aeneas (or Eneas or Enos) Campbell, who was born October 3, 1757, volunteered for five years in 1777 and served as a Second Lieutenant in Captain John Harwood's company in the Upper Battalion of Montgomery County Maryland Militia, under his father Colonel Campbell, until the close of the War:
that AEneas Campbell married in Iredell County, North Carolina, February 25, 1791, Elizabeth Ann Belt, born February 20, 1767 as his second wife,
that he died October 15, 1828 or December 16, 1828, and she died January 3 or 4, 1853, in Iredell County, North Carolina.

Their children were:
Thomas born April 10, 1793.
Elijah born January 17, 1795.
Umphrey born February 18, 1797.
Esther born January 3, 1799.
Asa born March 28, 1801.
Rutha born May 27, 1803.
Belt born September 9, 1805.
Elizabeth C. born September 23, 1807.
David born February 26, 1810.

On August 6, 1855 David Campbell, a resident of Wilkes County, Georgia, son of the above Aeneas Campbell, applied for the pension which
Page 14

might have been due on account of the services of his father, for the benefit of the only surviving children, viz. Elijah Campbell, Esther Nichols, Belt Campbell, Elizabeth C. Tiner, and himself, but the claim was not allowed for the reason that the required proof of alleged service, marriage and death were never furnished.
