Daniel Campbell & Effie McLean
Descendants and Other Connections
by Mayme Tyner and Mayme Pearl Tyner
James
Campbell
Submitted by:
Miriam Keba Campbell
James Campbell, born November 26, 1890, married Pauline Polly Spears, born
October 14, 1895. James is a rather small, slender, eager type of man with
a great sense of humor. He followed public work in the forest with logging
companies for a number of years, even going to Mississippi where he contacted
some disease that almost cost him his life. He was a proficient skidder operator as well as having native mechanical ability to keep up the repair
on the firm’s operating equipment. Later, he went with the L & N RR Company,
Pensacola, FL, as an electrician, mechanic and heavy equipment operator where
he was employed until his retirement in 197-. During World War II on many
occasions, he worked numerous 24-hour shifts operating the coal triple which
is a mechanical device for picking up and inverting the loaded coal cars. The contents were emptied into the hold of ships which were destined for the
American Allies overseas.
James and Polly have four children, three daughters and one son. The children
always came first in their lives even above their own relationships. They were
extremely good parents and tried to instill in their children the virtues of
thrift as well as the advantages of living a good but simple life.
A.
Marie, born September 24, 1922, married Roy Cumby, born September 24,
1916, January 13, 1946. Marie was the dutiful daughter and always did what was expected of her. She has always been a lady but she
discovered later in life that she could be herself and not be too attentive to what others expected of her. She attended Huntington
College, majored in Home Economics and worked a few years prior to getting married. Roy Cumby was stationed in Pensacola in the Navy
during World War II when Marie met him. After being married in Pensacola, Florida, they moved directly to High Point, North Carolina,
where he worked and retired from the Post Office Department.

Cumby, b December 26, 1946, is a graduate of the
University of North Carolina, holding a Mater’s degree in Chemistry. She has a fantastic career with Monsanto Chemical Co., St. Louis,
Missouri. Her job is to take the raw product and convert into salable product. She is divorced from Talmadge Clemens.

B.
Quita, b August 8,1925, married Harvey H. Barrineau, Jr., b July 24,
1926, m October 8, 1949. After ten years, they were divorced. They had a daughter, Rebecca Dale, b August 27, 1958. Quita is
quite shy, sensitive and holds an idealistic view of the world and becomes unduly frustrated when others fail to measure up to her
ideals. She is a graduate of Florida State University, 1947, with a B.S. degree and is a Registered Medical Technologist and has been
employed by the Florida State Board of Health in Pensacola, Florida, since graduation. Her daughter, Rebecca is currently attending

Administrative Dean at Pensacola High School. Since 1974, she has served as Supervisor for Business Education, Distributive Education
and Health Occupations for the Escambia County School Board. Miriam is an independent, maverick type of person who asserted her
independence early with a great deal of pain. She is challenged by responsibility and leaves no doubt as to her feelings and positions
about people and situations.
a. Cynthia Susan
Arnold, b August 3, 1952, attended Florida State
University but preferred marriage to graduation. Her marriage to David Glassman ended in divorce with one child, Valerie.
