Pat Conners asked us to submit our Campbells so I'll submit my brick wall of about ten
years, Thomas Campbell, who was probably born in Ireland about 1715, but we've not
been able to locate him.
Thomas Campbell married Jane Davidson in Billerica, MA, 1733 and moved to
Londonderry/Bedford area of NH where they had the children Mary (1738-1828), John,
Nathaniel (1741-1820), and Hugh Argyle (1744-1810). They had more children who didn't
survive to reproduce.
1) Mary married John Tufts, moved to Maine and there had the children: Jane, William,
Thomas, Jonathan, Susanna, and Annis.
2) John unknown.
3) Nathaniel married Agnes McCurdy and between Londonderry/Bedford, NH, and NY state had
the children: Jesse, Elizabeth, James, David, Thomas, Alexander, John, Abner, and Robert.
4) Hugh Argyle married Mary Smith and between Londonderry/Bedford, NH, and NY state had
the children: Jane, Benjamin, Caty, Elizabeth, Mary, Margaret, Hugh, Robert, Thomas, Adam,
and David.
I descended from Hugh Argyle Campbell through his son Benjamin Smith Campbell.
A descendant, Susan Sauve, created a web site for descendants of Thomas and Jane Campbell
at:
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=c1-_ampbell
which lists over 400 non-living descendants. The families of Nathaniel and Hugh moved
from NH to NY, then Ohio, then Indiana, and then spread out over the USA and parts of
Europe. I conservatively estimate that Thomas and Jane Campbell had at least 30,000
descendants of whom at least 20,000 must still be living. Currently we have over 900.
The purpose of the web site is to attract descendants, so if any of the names seem
familiar then please check the web site and if you believe that you might be a descendant,
then contact Susan Sauve or me. We have considerable information about many of the
descendants. If you're not familiar with a web site at Rootsweb, then you must enter
a name and it will display everyone with this name. Of course the majority of the
descendants do not have the name Campbell as would be expected.
