The elder Mrs. Campbell and her youngest son James Berry Campbell moved from Tennessee to Washington Co AR, as memtioned in Goodspeed's Memoirs of Northwest Arkansas.  This would have been after the death of Berriman Campbell.

Pioneer Families of Anderson Co TX states that Mrs. Campbell and additional children moved to Arkansas after 1850.  They first settled in Pike County and later in Washington County.

"I am the great granddaughter of Jarret Campbell, born in 1828 in Jackson Co Ark. (Civil war record) He was the son of Ephraim Campbell and Naomi... I can go back no further than a sheriff's census in Arkansas in 1829. Ephraim was there with a William and Jarrett. Brothers? or Father and two sons? Ephraim... died in 1843 and Naomi married a Nelson and was 44 in 1850. If he was 20 in 1828, then he would have been around 35 when he died. That would make his birth date around 1808."

The following notes come from Pioneer Families of Anderson Co TX, by Jeanne C. Helms:

"When the Civil War began, Jarrett Campbell enlisted in the Confederate Army at Fayetteville, Arkansas, on June 17, 1862, for a period of three years.  He served as a Private in Company K, Brooks' Regiment of the Arkansas Infantry.

"After the Civil War, he moved his family to Texas, first settling in Henderson Co., Texas, where two of his brothers, Wiley and John, were living. After Louisa (Buchanan) Campbell died, he moved to Tennessee Colony in Anderson Co., Tex., where he married Mrs. Albina (Harris) Woolverton....

"Jarrett Campbell lived about l mile northwest of Tennessee Colony where he was engaged in farming."

Marcus Eugene Avant, husband of Mary Tennessee Campbell, was the son of Mason Simpson Avant, b. Aug. 18, 1834, Lawrence County, Alabama.  He was the son of Durham Avant, b. bef. 1808, Lawrence County, Alabama.  It is not known how this Avant line relates to Avant lines documented elsewhere on this site.
