Tericy CAMPBELL born abt 1809 Caldwell County, Kentucky

[glenysjr]

All of my attempts to access Caldwell County births for the period 1805-1812 come up empty regarding Tericy CAMPBELL born abt 1809 to unknown parents.  She married Samuel JONES 14 Oct 1822 in Caldwell County and appears on only one named census - the 1850 of District 1, Caldwell County.  The 1860 census of Princeton, Caldwell County, Kentucky shows five of her children living together.  We are fairly certain Samuel died in 1850 although no record of that can be located either. 

Family tradition states she was 13 when married to Samuel Jones - her age in 1850 is 40, so possible that's correct.

The death of Tericy is unknown and whether or not she married again is also unknown.

Is it possible to ask for a search of the Caldwell County Clerk's records to see if a birth is listed for Tericy?  I have the marriages of Rueben CAMPBELL and William CAMPBELL in 1809 in Caldwell County, but nothing to prove one of them might be Tericy's parents.

Whatever help can be offered, I am most appreciative.

I can't help with any birth records, but have you tried to track Tericy's children, to see if there might be any clues to her siblings and possible parents?

1850 District 1, Caldwell, KY census
Samuel's and Tericy's (age 40, born Kentucky) children: George W (age 24), Hiram B, "Orlima", "Napelion" B, Mahala A (age 11), Nancy E, Mildred M, Rachael E.
Also living with the family is a Margarett Campbell, age 42, born Kentucky.
  Could Margaret be Tericy's sister or sister-in-law?

1870 William's Mill, Caldwell, KY census
Jas Campbell, age 30, Farmer, born Illinois
His wife, Orlena, and their children: Wm R, Maria, Jas B, Hiram, Jno, and ?
Also living with the family is a Mahala Jones, age 25, born Kentucky

  Could Mahala be Tericy's daughter and could she be living with a relative of Tericy, possibly a nephew?  The age is a bit out, but I thought I would mention it.
  Also, one line under the Campbell entry is
George Jones, age 44, Farmer, born Kentucky (and his wife, Sarah and their children: Olive, Mary and Joseph).
  Could George be Tericy's son?

Could following up on Margaret Campbell and Jas Campbell lead you to Tericy's parents?

Many thanks to Lisa and others who responded to the above.  She is a difficult lady to find!
