Hello,
I have a James Campbell with some conflicting dates.
b. about 1786 or 1791 in Derry Co. Ire.
d. May 1856 or 1858 drowned on the way to New Orleans.
Buried at Campbell's Bayou, Texas City, Galveston Co. TX.
Possibly James' father was a lawyer. He also had at least one brother.
Was a bound apprentice with a sailmaker named Kesterd (sp.) at Donnell's

row the Commodore to the Niagra. He was then reassigned to the Constitution, but
served on the Constellation as well
1814 discharged.
After that he was a Captain of one Jean Lafitte's ships.
(Lafitte was in the war of 1812 so possibly James met him there. Haven't researched
