Frank, that's him. His widow, Mrs. Miranda K. McCampbell, applied for a Confederate pension from Washington County in 1901, stating that her husband, Samuel S. McCampbell, who died on August 25, 1892, had served in Lynch's Tennessee Battery in 1862-1864. I have a roster of this battery, which lists a Sergeant S. S. McCampbell, promoted to second lieutenant.

Capt. John Peyton Lynch's battery was organized at New Market, Tennessee, in December 1861, and disbanded at Christiansburg, Virginia, on April 12, 1865, after receiving word of the surrender at Appomattox. The men were mostly from Jefferson County, Tennessee, but included men from Cocke, Greene, Washington and Sullivan counties as well.
