Catherine Morrell WHITLOCK, daughter of Roger Haddock WHITLOCK, back in NJ who shows up on the 1850, 1860, and 1870 Federal Census with a wife, Eliza.,and a slew of kids.

The WHITLOCK family was one of the founding families in the Navesink Highlands area of NJ. As such, they had representatives in the New Jersey Militia during the Revolutionary War as well as in subsequent years. Catherine's father died in 1877 and the Monmouth county, NJ court records show the appointment of a "surrogate" to handle the affairs of a "Captain Haddock WHITLOCK", which I am 80% certain is the same "Roger Haddock WHITLOCK" who died 1877. That being the case, then Captain Haddock WHITLOCK's father would have been the son of Elisha WHITLOCK, who was son of 2Lt (or 1Lt ?) John WHITLOCK of the New Jersey Militia who was killed on 13 FEB 1777 at the "Battle of Navesink", or as some have said, "The Navesink Massacre", when the British and loyalists took the area and killed many of the militia, and took the remainder to prisons where many died during the American Revolution.

Catherine married James CAMPBELL around 11 May 1841, reportedly in Middletown, Monmouth county, New Jersey, USA and shortly after that they moved to the wilds of Illinois with the rest of his family. ( "with a party of 15" by wagon?) . That party was headed by Charles Muir CAMPBELL (CMC) and his first wife, Agnes SCHENCK. (The SCHENCK family was another of the founding families in that part of New Jersey.) . Together they had at least 8 kids, many were married by 1840/1841 when the family relocated to Jerseyville, Jersey county, Illoinois.

About 1850-1851, I believe most of that extrended family of CAMPBELL's, WHITLOCK, SCHENCK, etc... moved from Jerseyville IL (near the Mississippi River), moving East to three large CAMPBELL farms a few miles SSW of Pawnee, IL - mostly in Sangamon county, Illinois.) . About 1950, CMC's wife, Agnes (SCHENCK) CAMPBELL died, and CMC lived with his son James CAMPBELL and daughter-in-law Catherine Morrell (WHITLOCK) CAMPBELL, along with their children.

James & Catherine CAMPBELL owned the middle farm on "Horse Creek" (aka "Dead Horse Creek").
and Jame's widowed father, Charles Muir CAMPBELL (CMC) lived with his children & grandchildren.

Immediately adjacent to either side of James CAMPBELL's farm & father, Charles Muir CAMPBELL were:
Jame's brother Charles "Morgan" CAMPBELL & family to the west.
Jame's bother, William Kovenhoven CAMPBELL & family to the east.

Somewhere in this extended family, there was a widowed mother of two or three "school aged children"
and the widowed CMC married her and they moved to new capital (capitol?) city of Springfield IL where CMC pursued a legal career as a Justice of the Peace. That is how CMC came to be living in Springfield IL instead of the nearby Pawnee IL "suburb" of Springfield up until his death after 1870.

And... at some point after 1850, James CAMPBELL and Catherine Morrell (WHITLOCK) CAMPBELL moved further south to Virden, Macoupin county, Illinois. Owing to Catherine's family having the given name of Haddock, and a history of three generation so fRoger Haddock WHITLOCK, it wasn't surprising that they named one of their son's James Haddock CAMPBELL. The Haddock middle name has propogated down the generations in the CAMPBELL lines since then, and traces back to descendants of 1Lt John WHITLOCK, who died 13 Feb 1777 at the Battle / Massacre at Navesink Highlands, Monmouth county, New Jersey.

There are other traces of the Haddock origin in CAMPBELL's who wound up in Canada about the time of the Revolutionary War. But this traces Haddock name origins back to the WHITLOCK lines born about 1800.

Eventually, the widowed CMC remarried a younger widow, Rebecca. CMC & wife #2, Rebecca, and her two (?) young children from her previous marriage - moved to the "new" Capitol of Springfield. At some point, James & Catherine moved to from Pawnee IL to Virden, Macoupin, Illinois-where James was a police magistrate for many years and was called "Squire Campbell". Virden is where both James & Catherine are buried. Their stone is towards the east end of the Virden Cemetery and one of the last stones before a large vacant area is visible. See the photo to aid in locating the stone. (GPS coordinates are very approximate.) . The photo was taken facing EAST towards the town of Virden and the field is visible in the photo.)

Catherine reportedly had 14 children; with 10 still living when her husband, "Squire" James Campbell died at the age of 88 in Virden, Macoupin county, Illinois (Estimated around Feb 1909).

NOTE - Virden may straddle two counties - with parts in Sangamon county & other parts in Macoupin county. Public record searches should take this into consideration.

One of those 10 children was:
James Haddock CAMPBELL "Sr.", (The first of this crop of CAMPBELL's to have the Haddock middle name.)

and his son
James Haddock CAMPBELL "Jr." married Frances asemple CORR..
and they moved from Pawnee, Macoupin, Illinois,
Possibly to Carlinville, Macoupin, Illinois,
And finally to Hoopeston, Vermilion, Illinois, USA
(May have also once lived north of Hoopeston in Iroquois County, IL.
Perhaps Prairie Green or Greer township!?!?)

Some of James Jr.'s kids (Lloyd "Sr") later moved up to Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA, while some stayed in Hoopeston, and others moved away to Indiana, etc..

Several of the above dates & locations for the birth, marriage, death were taken from William Orlin CAMPBELL's excellent research on Ancestry.com. Corrections & confirmations are always appreciated.

This is a work in progress.
