Joseph K. Campbell was born 25 Jan 1811 in Maury County, Tennessee, to John Campbell and Phoebe Cassady. Joseph spent his boyhood in Tennessee, but went to Texas around 1838 when he applied for a land grant and received 320 acres. This was the allowance for a single man and he located his grant in Nacogdoches County. He later moved to Walker County where he met Erzenith Saul. The two were married August 23, 1849. Joe was a farmer and stock raiser. After the Civil War, he moved his family to Nueces County, where he operated a ferry across the Nueces River. He also owned ranch land where he raised sheep. He and Erzenith had three children, DIcy, John and Phoebe. When the sheep market declined, Joe and Elizabeth moved to Blanco County, where he again had a ranch. Erzenith died in 1887 and Joe Died 29 Jun 1894. They are both buried in Bagdad Cemetery in Williamson County. He has hundreds of descendants scattered across Texas and beyond.
