-Caveat Lector- Another Ohio/Taft connection. See below: Kris wrote: >> But Diana’s grandfather, Edmund Maurice Burke Roche, defied the will and claimed his title, becoming the 4th Baron Fermoy.<< There was a man named William T. Campbell who became one of the founders of the Texas Company (Texaco) in about 1901. Prior to that he had been in Cincinnati, Ohio, and by 1885 was in Waxahachie, Texas, where his daughter Sarah was born. He was married to Sarah (Turnbull) Campbell. Debrett’s Texas Peerage says: "Mr. Campbell was a Scottish aristocrat, a member of the Campbell Clan of Argyle. Descended from a family of stockbrokers, he had genes of financial genius. (His great friend and fellow Briton-turned-oil-prospector, Burke Roche, was the younger twin brother of the 3rd Baron of Fermoy, a direct ancestor of Britain’s present Princess Di. Since Roche and Campbell were both ‘second sons,’ they came to America to seek their fortunes.) At age 20, Campbell was working as a cub reporter for the Cincinnati Enquirer. He and a fellow cub, Henry Vuillard [sic], had their first scoop interviewing William Howard Taft. Vuillard went on to found the Great Northern Railroad. His Madison Avenue mansion in New York is now the Palace Hotel. Campbell later named his third son, Henry Vuillard Campbell, for his old friend and fellow journalist."
