The "Missouri Heartland" book can be found at the St. Louis County Library on Lindbergh Blvd. St. Louis, MO.
Vol. 2, page 21:"Maury County: (pron 'Murry').Campbell:James Campbell (#211-19), wife Ruth, nee Anderson).James was blacksmith & deputy sheriff in Maury.Moses Campbell was his brother.(Annals of Methodism in MO, Woodward, 1893, pp121-124.Moses seen on 671 Camden 50, was born SC, c1794.Not located in Maury census."
Vol. 3, pages 115 and 116:
This is noted as "Rev. J.H. Ross has bent me the following interesting account".
Pg. 114- introduction to this account.
Pg. 115 and 116 - "Just across the river from our cabin, in calling distance, lived Jacob Anderson and his young wife, whose maiden name was Duff, and his two sisters, Levisa and Polly, and a younger brother Jesse J. Anderson, not yet grown.I think they came from the 'Mine La Motte' country.Mrs. Anderson and, I believe, the two young ladies belonged to the church before they cam there.I am satisfied Mr. Anderson did not, for I have a distinct remembrance of hearing him curse old Buck, one of his steers, which did not do to suit him, and of how it shocked me.The Andersons were the great uncles and aunts, on mother's side, of Rev. E.J. Stanley, of Montana.Just up the river a mile or two lived James Campbell his wife, Ruth.She was an Anderson.They were both Methodists, and the grand-parents of Brother Stanley.
I remember being often at these two houses, and that I had an exalted opinion of "Aunt Ruth's" piety which was confirmed after I reached man's estate.I suppose Mr. Campbell was not very demonstrative; I only remember that he was very tall, fair skinned and red-headed; that he kept a blacksmith shop and acted as deputy sheriff."
It goes on the list members of the society: Jacob Anderson and his wife Peggy;Josiah M. Hillhouse and wife Peggy; James Campbell, wife Ruth, and brotherMoses Campbell; Jesse J. Anderson and Patsy and Nancy Hillhouse; Dr. Brashear; and Mrs. Duff, Mrs. Anderson's mother.
