A daughter of Hugh Golightly and Sarah Wilson she was married on Aug. 6, 1845 to Umphrey M. Campbell.
Soon after their marriage they moved to Mississippi. At the present time the 1st 15 years are a mystery, but all four known children are born in Mississippi. There has to be more than four children as they were married in 1845 and Robert T. was born in 1851. There is a 6 year break there.
Evidently the family moved to Tippah Co., MS in 1859 as she was received into the Ebenezer Reformed Presbyterian Church by certificate August 1859. We have searched numerous Presbyterian church records and so far haven't found where she transferred from.
February 10, 1860 was a tragic day for their family. Umphrey was on a train going to Memphis, TN to pay a large bill for iron he had purchased and he was murdered. On his tombstone it said killed. We found the newspaper article of Feb. 22, 1860 Ripley Advertiser that gave the full story. The amount of money taken was $400.00. A huge sum of money in 1860.
June 14, 1860 Emily purchased land adjacent to the Ebenezer Presbyterian church for $1100. June 14, 1860 in Tippah Co., MS; R3E, Section 33, Twshp 5, NW 1/4, 50 acres. This amount of money was exorbitant as that land in Tippah Co., and old Pontotoc Co., (now Union Co., as they were on county line) at that time was government land and could be purchased for $1.50 per acre. We don't know the reason she paid such an exorbitant amount. This amount of money had to come from her father's estate.
Emily and family didn't show up on the 1860 census records evidently since they didn't have a home built yet.
14 Apr 1861 in the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church, Blue Mountain, MS., Emily was baptized.
In 1866 Emily and family were on the reconstructed Tippah Co., MS census. The census showed she had $7000.00 in real estate and $600.00 in personal property.
Robert T. was received into the church August 1866. McDonald was received into the church April 22, 1871 and Sally was received September 9, 1871.
In 1867 Robert T. and Sarah E. was baptized into the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church.
November 11, 1871 Emily and the four children were dismissed by certificate and the family removed to Woodruff Co., AR.
Family tradition says they stayed with and worked for James Golightly who had removed from Marshall Co., MS. and had moved to Jackson Co., AR, Bay Township, which is presently in Woodruff Co., AR.
William Asa died 18 Nov 1874. He is buried in White Church Cemetery beside his mother Emily.
The three children bought land adjacent to Ivy Gibson and James Golightly & the Anthony family from J.N.S. Gibson, the son of Ivy Gibson, February 7, 1877. This purchase was made one month after Emily passed away. The deed listed the three children as the purchasers. The dollar amount was $1800. This was a huge amount again. According to Arkansas History & Culture this was the most desired area in Jackson or Woodruff Counties because of the rich farmland and available timber that could be sold. This money would've came out of Emily's estate. There is no estate records on file either at Woodruff or Jackson Counties.
The land in Tippah Co., MS was sold 17 Dec 1878. The deed listed the three remaining children, McDonald, Sally, and Robert. This land sold for $400.00 which was considerably less than what they had paid for it.
Emily passed away 27 Jan 1877 and is also buried White Church Cemetery, Woodruff Co., AR.
