Pulaski Patterson Campbell was a son of Alexander and Elizabeth Fitzgerald Campbell.
Alexander was a son of Jesse C. ( for Coffey?) and Mary Campbell. Jesse C. was a son of John and Amelia "Milley" Coffey Campbell. Amelia was a daughter of Edmond S. and Nancy Barnett Coffey. Alexander married Elizabeth J. Fitzgerald on Aug. 31, 1857* in Nelson Co. Elizabeth was a daughter of Benjamin and Malinda Fitzgerald however, I have not yet looked for them.
There are very probably more children but, I know of only four for Alexander and Elizabeth, all born in Nelson Co.:
Sophia Jane, born c1857; Pulaski Patterson, born May 22, 1860, died Jan. 1, 1944; Matilda A., born c1861; and Melvina, born c1863.
Pulaski married Luticia Campbell on Feb. 14, 1883 in Nelson Co. Some genealogies and at least one census record refers to her as Lucy. She was the daughter of William and Susan Ann Mawyer Campbell. William was the son of Joel and Nancy Coffey Campbell. Nancy was the daughter of Edmond Steward Coffey, Jr. and his wife, Matilda "Tildy" Fitzgerald. Edmond Stewart was brother to Amelia who married Jesse C. Campbell.

2 - Bertie G., born Jan., 1887 in Montebello. In at least one census he was enumerated as a female. I believe he was male and will do more searching at a later date.

More work needs to be done on this family. Additions and corrections welcomed.
PS: Re: Jonesboro cemetery. References that I have found to this cemetery on Find-A-Grave place it at Roseland, in Nelson Co. Searching Google maps for Roseland and Jonesboro revealed that they are more or less wide spots along the Patrick Henry Hwy. and, about a mile or so apart. I have chosen to use Jonesboro as the home of this cemetery because that's where it's located and, Jonesboro is the name of the church.
