My great great great grandfather, John C.
CAMPBELL was born about 1815-17 in Northumberland
County, Pennsylvania. According to an article about
his eldest daughter in the Crawford County, Ohio
Centennial Biographical History Book, his
grandfather, Obadiah Campbell was a native of
Scotland who settled in Northumberland Co., PA and
married Miss Kate KEADER (KEATER). John married
Elizabeth Rosa (Catharine?) STANTLEY (SCRANTON,
STANTON, STALTZ?) about 1839 in PA. About 1841-42,
they may have lived in Clarion Co., PA before moving
to Jefferson co., PA.
In the 1850 census John C. and Elizabeth lived in
Ringgold twp., Jefferson Co., PA with six children. At
the time John's occupation was listed as a shoemaker.
In later census reports his occupation was listed as a
carpenter.
About 1850, John and Elizabeth moved to Crawford
Co., Ohio. They had ten children. The oldest son was
Obadiah Alexander Campbell who died in Crawford Co.,
OH. John C. moved to Steuben Co., IN after the Civil
War and remarried.
I am hoping someone will have some info on elder
Obadiah and Kate (Keader) Campbell of Northumberland
co., PA.
thanks, bonnie
