Hello Cousins,

After 8 years of research, it is with great excitement that I am announcing the launch of the Campbell Web site. This web site documents the descendants of Samuel Campbell and Euphemia. I have only posted the first 4 generations (the foundation). As you know the Campbell and Spaulding families have been connected for well over a hundred years. I am hoping that all of you visit the web site. I would love to have your feedback. I will be updating the web site on a regular base as additional information becomes available. There will be a follow up book in hard copy scheduled for a 2008 - 2009 release. This book will include up to 8 generations as well as Old photos. If you see that your ancestors are listed on the web site, I invite you to contact me to confirm my information is accurate and also I need your help in providing additional information on subsequent generations 4 thru 8. My thanks go out to my entire fellow researcher for their contributions.

Blessing to ALL,

Your cousin,

Neil Wesley Campbell

I hope someone can identify the two Welches Creek family's. 1880's-1900's. .They were living on the John Richard Baldwin/Hampton farm. The Joshua Blanks family was living next door and could be the photo of the large family of 12. The first photo is of my Great Uncle Dr. Oscar Brent Baldwin (1877) son of Martha and Fran Baldwin (1838) of Welches Creek Township. I don't have a guess of who the other family is. Thanks!

Family and friends from many parts of the country gathered at Town Hall, April 16, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. to celebrate the 101st birthday of Mrs. Gertrude Mitchell Daniels.
On April 13, 1804, God gave Rev. Schofield and Suzie Mitchell the gift of a baby, Gertrude. She was the twelfth of thirteen children. Her father was a farmer and a preacher, pastoring part-time at what is currently St. Andrew AME Zion Church.
Gertrude attended school in Freeman, North Carolina. She continued her education in Wilmington and upon graduating, enrolled in Teacher’s Summer School, Vineland, North Carolina and received a teaching certificate.
She taught in Bladen County at East Arcadia. Gertrude met John Daniels and became his bride in 1925. After moving to Wilmington, they both joined St. Andrew AME Zion Church. John and Gertrude provided a loving home for daughter Alma and granddaughter Jacqui.Twenty-seven years later, they were blessed with another daughter, Johnsie. Gertrude discovered her talent for arranging flowers and opened Daniels Flower Shop. She impacted the lives of the community and businesses through her flowers. She donated altar flowers at church every first Sunday in remembrance of John Daniels until she retired. Not only a talented florist, she was also a talented seamstress. After 26 years in the floral business, she retired at the age of 90. She is the last living child of Schofield and Suzie Mitchell. She remains a member of St. Andrew AME Zion Church.
Greetings were given by Mrs. Amelia Bridges with prayer by Rev. Aaron Moore. Salutations were given from St. Andrew AME Zion Church by Mrs. Barbara Richburg, City of Wilmington by Mrs. Sheryl Payne, the floral industry by Mr. Lawrence Epps and funeral industry by Mrs. Allene Drain.
