War of 1812 veteran, Major David M. Campbell's parents were James and Sally (McCord) Campbell. James was a Revolutionary War veteran. Sally was a 1st cousin of Abraham Lincoln's mother. That is, David McCord Campbell and Abraham Lincoln BELIEVED they were 2nd cousins. The two intermingled when Lincoln rode the judicial circuit in his early days, and Abe used to overnight at David and Jane's log inn in Clayton, Adams County, Illinois. [Recent DNA findings have disproven their long-held beliefs.]
James and Sally are buried on property they owned along Caney Creek in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. Their stones (if they ever had stones) have not been located.
