Hello:
I notice there aren't too many Canadians posting messages, if anyone has
a branch of Campbell's that came to Canada in 1849, settled in Bowmore
(now Duntroon) Ontario Canada, on crown land please respond
My oldest known Campbell's are:
Angus Campbell of Argleshire Scotland, dob 1795, spoue Catherine Brown
of Carabuss Isay Argleshire Scot. dob 1798. Came to Canada 1849 with
their children Donald, John, Ann, Angus, Mary, Catherine. I would like
to know if any other of Angus's siblings came over with him. We are the
last of the Angus branch, thank goodness my brother had twin boys this
year, the name will continue.
Thanks,
Darcy Plummer (nee Campbell)

Hi bob,
Got your info on Marjorie Campbell and Phillip Russell. Thanks for the
help.
So...It looks like Marjorie Campbell might have married Phillip Russell in
Perry Co. IL. This gives me a lead.
The other Phillip whom married Mary Williams was Philip Towns Russell`s
grandfather.
Thanks again, Rita. from Oregon.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have Campbells who might have been in Southern IL. I am looking
for a Margara Ann Campbell, b. abt. 1838 in IL. she was married to Phillip
Towns Russell. They had the folling children...
William M, Charles W. Amanda, Thomas Phillip, James and Addie Jane.
Margara Ann Campbell was found in Williamson Co. IL, 1860, 1870, in Jackson
Co. IL. 1880, She died
around 1886, She and her husband were found on land deeds for Williamson
Co. IL and I also have her on Phillip Russell`s Civil War Pension papers
but no clue to who her parents were except she may have a brother named
Isaac Campbell. There was an Issac Cmpbell born abt. 1887 in IL. living in
Margara`s house-hold in 1860, Williamson Co. IL.
Thanks Rita Welch
Hello, I found this in "Perry County Kentucky- A History, Hazard Chapter,
D.A.R. bye Eunice Tolbert Johnson."
pg.210
"CAMPBELL
The first family of Campbells came in to this section from North Carolina
before Perry County was formed. William, Caleb, and Lewis Campbell each had
land grants on Troublesome Creek in 1822. They were of Scotch descent. Caleb
Campbell's children were Andy, who married a Napier, Lewis, who married Rachel
Allen, a daughter of Sam Allen, and settled around what is now the community
of Rowdy. William (Buck) married Polly Allen, John D. married Sallie Holladay
and settled on Troublesome Creek. Mary married Jim Napier and moved to Lost
Creek, Zack married a Noble amd settled in Wolf County. Others in the Campbell
family settled on Big Creek and the original farm is still owned by the
Campbell family.
John Campbell and his wife, Polly Couch, came to this section
around 1809 and settled in Campbell Bend. He lived to be 104 years of age.
Their children were Hiram, Steven, Jack, James, Elijah, Bill, Pike, Frank, and
two daughters.
Dan, the son of Bill, married his first cousin, Rebecca, the
daughter of Elijah. Their daughter, Sally Campbell, married Roderick McIntosh,
son of John McIntosh, a native of Scotland who had come to America with the
British Army. John and Roderick settled on McIntosh Creek in Clay County
around 1810, later Perry, now Leslie County.- (Walter Campbell, the late
Sherill Napier, Mrs. J.E. Campbell and Sam Begley.)"

Hello All,
I may be making a trip to the LDS Genealogical Library in a desperate attempt to find out something about my ancestors. I've lived in Utah practically all my life and never once have I been to this library, but I've heard it's a fabulous place for finding facts on frustrating families. (How'd you like all those F's? Now I have a brain cramp...ouch!). =)
Anyway, the reason I'm saying this is so that any of you that are searching for Campbell's, Shermans or Sengers, and are having a very hard time with ONE or TWO people (I only have so much time to spend there, and most of it will hopefully be used finding my family <smile>.), then send the necessary information (as much as you can provide is good) and I'll try my best to see what I can provide for you. Please don't be too upset if I don't get the chance to find out stuff for everyone, as I said before, I've only got so much time that I can spend there, then I have to get on with my social life (what little of that there is!! ha ha ha).
My e-mail address is hooked on after my name. Thanks! =)
Sandy Campbell =)

Haven't posted for a while. Hope someone can help me. By family tradition
David CAMPBELL, b 1791 in Cherry Valley, NY married Mary WHITE, b 1794 in
Cherry Valley, NY. In the library I have discovered there was a WHITE family
there but can find no listing of children. There were CAMPBELLs there also.
Lots is written about the Indian massacre, kidnapping, and subsequent
upheavel.
David and Mary had 4 children, Harriet, b 1813, Eliza, b 1815, Erastus, b1817
and Samuel D. b 1819. We know nothing about the first three. Samuel D.
married Lucy A. Carter, b abt 1826 in Wayne Co, NY. I am wondering if "David"
may have been a second name. The names Erastus and Alfred appear in one
family. Samuel D. and Lucy's children were Alfred Waldo, called A.W. in
census, Martha G. who was called Genny, and Frank J. I cannot prove back from
Samuel D. so am trying to start back and come forward. Samuel D. moved to OH
in 1835, went to CA gold rush in 1952 and back in 1954, married some time,
then moved to IL, WI, where his children were born, then to Bremer Co., IA.
Alfred W. is my ggrandfather. I would like to get past this 3 year old road
block. Hope someone recognizes some of this. I'll trade what I have for any
info!
Thanks Ruth
John B. Campbell b abt 1873 in IA was last known to be in CA in 1911. He had
a quartz mine and we have a picture of him in front of it. The family has
heard nothing else about him. Did he get shot in the back? Or maybe the
front while gambling? Doubt he married but might have. Has anyone heard of
him? He is my great uncle.
Thanks Ruth

Also be sure to go to the DAR Library. It is near the White House at 1776 D

is $5 per day.
It is really great.

Hi all,
I'm posting these lryics so that all might enjoy them...the words were
written by Alastair McDonald...and the tune is adapted from an old gaelic
sea song.
CHORUS:
Cold the wind on the moors blow, warm the enemy's fireglow,
Black the harvest of Culloden, pain and fear and death grow.
'Twas love of our prince drove us on to Dromosse,
But in scarcely the time that it takes me to tell,
The flow'r of our country lie scorched by an army,
as ruthless and red as the embers of hell.
Chorus
Redd Campbell the fox did the work of the English,
MacDonald in anger did no work at all.
'Twas musket and cannon against honor and courage,
the invaders men stood while our clansmen did fall.
Chorus
Now mothers and children are left to their weeping,
with only the memory of father and son.
Turned out of their homes to make shelter for strangers,
The blackest of hours on this land has begun.
Chorus
I have a day free in Washington DC in the near future. Anyone know of the
best place to spend a day: Natonal Archives, Library of Congress? I have a
James
Knox Polk Campbell, who claimed to be a nephew of James Knox Polk, and
seemed to have obtained a job in Washington DC in the 1850s on the basis of
patronage. Where would one be likely to find the papers of James Knox Polk
in a form accessible to a non-professional? ANy help appreciated.

Diarmid et al,
Here is another song which we might include as a 'Campbell song' -- it is
called "Cruachan a' cheathaich" (Cruachan of The Mist), Cruachan being the
central mountain in the Argyll area and, I believe, the 'battle cry' of
Campbell soldiers.
The only reason I think it might have anything to do with the Campbells is the
reference to Cruachan. Perhaps some of the historians on the list might
comment on the possible reference of the lyrics (post Culloden?).
It is taken from a book called "Gaelic Songs of Nova Scotia", compiled by Dr.
Helen Creighton and Calum MacLeod. Dr. Creighton will always be owed an
enormous debt by Nova Scotians -- as a folklorist, she travelled the province
during the 1930s,40s and 50s, visiting many small communities, including
Gaelic speaking ones in eastern N.S., and recording their songs and oral
traditions, many of which would otherwise have been lost. One of her finds,
"Farewell to Nova Scotia", has become the province's 'national anthem'. 8-)
This is the Cape Breton variant of the song. The lyrics are incomplete.
"Cruachan a' cheathaich [Cruachan of The Mist]"
Mi 'n a m'shuidhe 'n so m'o\nar
Air co\mhnarsh an rathaid,
Riach a faic mi fear-fuadain
Tighinn o Chruachan a' cheathaich
[I am sitting here, alone, on the level part of the road, so that I may see a
fugitive coming from Cruachan of the mist,]
Bheir dhomh sgial air Clann Ghriogail,
No fios co/'n taobh ghabh iad.
'S iad bu chuideachda dho\mh-sa
Di-Do\mhnaich 's a chaidh.
[who will give me news about Clan MacGregor, or who will tell me in which
direction they departed. They were in my company last Sunday.]
Thall 's a bhos mu Loch-fhi\ne,
Ma's a fi\or mo luchd-brathann;
Ann an Clachan an Di\seirt,
'G o\l fi\on' air na maithibh.
[On all sides of Loch Fyne, if my informers are correct; in Dalmally (the
Kirkton of Dysart), drinking wine with the chieftains and nobility.]
Cheers,
Mike Campbell

Bob Hurst,
I am glad that you are making a collection of Campbell-related music. We
(as Clan Cambpell) have been criticised for not preserving more of our music
(in terms of the old Gaelic songs). There was at one time undoubtedly much
of that in oral tradition since the Earls of Argyll in the 16th century (and
before and likely later) had their own harpers. Sadly it was not, I
believe, written down and most must be, or may be, lost.
The 19th century Campbell collectors concentrated more on folklore and
traditional Gaelic tales, but not the tunes for some reason.
Although the words of the song you mention from modern Northern Ireland were
likely written without history being as important as entertainment, I would
not want anyone to get the impression that the battle of Culloden was fought
between Campbells and MacDonalds.
As I expect you know, it was not a 'clan battle' at all but the last battle
in a civil war fought in British soil. In the war there were Campbells and
MacDonalds on both sides. The purpose of the war and of the battle of
Culloden was to decide whether the throne of Great Britain would be held by
a Protestant or a Catholic sovereign.
The Black Watch as a regiment was not directly involved. What happened was
that after the regiment was created out of a series of independent Highland
companies in the years before the 1745 rebellion, (of which the battle of
Culloden was a part), a second series of companies was raised to fulfill the
original intention which was to police the Highlands (there were no police
in those days).
One of this second series of independent companies of the Black Watch was
commanded by my great grandfather's great uncle, Duncan Campbell of Inverawe
(1702-1758). They, and likely another independent company (Murray of
Ochtertyre's), were assigned to the companies of Argyll Militia in the
campaign against the rebels led by Prince Charles Edward in 1746. This
combined unit was commanded by 22 year old Colonel Jack Campbell, later 4th
Duke of Argyll. His father, General Campbell of Mamore, had been sent to
Inveraray by the then Duke of Argyll to raise the Argyll Militia and defend
the west coast from French support of the rebels, and from rebel invasion of
Argyll.
At the battle of Culloden - which ended the rebellion and almost the war -
Inverawe's company was posted to guard the baggage. The general comanding
the British army there was the royal Duke of Cumberland, a plump lad not
much older than Colonel Jack Campbell. Cumberland did not trust any of the
Scots, even those on his own British side, and was convinced that he must
smash the rebellion and control the Scots who he feared were not supporters
of his Hanoverian father as sovereign of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
- King of Scots and King of England. His behaviour after Culloden got him
the nickname 'butcher Cumberland' and although he had proven a good
commander against the French before his efforts in 1746, his military career
was not notable afterwards.
So the truth is there were one or more Black Watch companies at Culloden,
but the actual regiment was at that time guarding the coast of Kent (in SE
England) against French invasion. They had recently returned from the
continent, fighting the French.
All best, Diarmid Campbell
