Cumberland County, PA With Some Allied Families compiled by Bessie P Douglas

CAMPBELL. ...
Duncan Campbell, born in Scotland. Married: 1612, Mary McCoy. Duncan
Campbell was of .the noble house of Breadalbane. He moved into Ireland the
year of his marriage, 1612, ...
John2 Campbell, {Duncan1) , born, 1621. Married: 1655, Grace Hay,
daughter of Peter Hay.
Children: John,3 born 1656.
Dugald,3 whose descendants eventually settled in Rockbridge Co., Va.
Robert,3 born 1665; married 1696, whose descendants eventually settled
in Orange, now Augusta Co., Va.
John3 Campbell, (John,2 Duncan1), born, 1656, in Ireland; died, Feb.
20th, 1734 in Derry, Pa.; buried in the old Derry churchyard. John Campbell
is said to have come from Ireland in 1726 with several grown sons.... He
settled in Lancaster Co., Pa. where he lived until his death. (Egle)
In the "Virginia Historical Magazine," V 01. 7, p. 126, it is stated that
John Campbell came from Ireland to America in 1726 with five or six grown
sons, settled first in Lancaster Co., Pa., and came in 1738 to that part of
Orange Co., Va., which is now Augusta Co., with his sons Patrick, Robert and
David.
One would infer that this John must be identical with Mr. Egle's John. It
is unlikely that two John Campbells with several grown sons, bearing the
same names, would have come to America in the same year. Patrick, Robert and
David, sons of Mr. Egle's John, did move to Virginia, but the father John,
buried in Pennsylvania in 1734, certainly did not.
The removal of Patrick,4 Robert4 and David,4 to Virginia, as well as
known records of their descendants, eliminates them as ancestors of our
line, all of whom lived at or near Derry until 1800. The fifth son, John,4
an Episcopal clergyman at York, Pa., whose records are fairly complete is
also eliminated, which leaves but James4 of Derry as our undoubted ancestor
.
Children: Robert, lived in Virginia and had five children.
David,4 moved to Orange Co., Va., in 1741; married Margaret Hamilton. .
James,4 born, 1689, in Ireland.
Patrick,4 born, 1690, in Ireland, moved to Orange Co., Va., about 1740.
John,4 born, 1692, in Ireland; died, 1764, at York, Pa. An Episcopal
Clergyman.
James4 Campbell, (John,3 John,2 Duncan1), born, 1689 in Ireland; died, May
31st, 1771 at Derry (now Hershey) , Pa.
Married: 1st,
2d, Agnes. , born, 1707 ; died, April 3d, 1757 ; buried
beside her husband.
3d, Mrs. Rosanna Vernon, a widow with at least two
children.
March 2d, 1737, James Campbell is on a list of warrantees of land in
Derry Twp. for 300 acres. On the same date 279 acres of land in Derry Twp.
were. "surveyed to" James Campbell.
Egle's History of Dauphin County, Pa., p. 39: James and John Campbell
were among the signers of a "humble petition of the inhabitants of the
townships of Paxtang, Derry and Hanover, Lancaster County," to the Governor
of the Province, dated July 22d, 1754, showing "that your petitioners being;
settled on or near the river Susquehanna apprehend themselves in great
danger from the French and French Indians. ...We, your petitioners,
therefore humbly pray that your Honour would take our distressed condition
into consideration and make such provision for us as may prevent ourselves
and families from being; destroyed and ruined by such a cruel enemy."...
James Campbell was survived by his wife Rosanna, and in his will mentioned
his step-daughter Jean Edmundson; James Vernon, son of his step-son Harry
Vernon; Robert Cross's children; sister Martha Cary, then in Ireland; sister
Elizabeth Long, then in Ireland; his sons John and Patrick; and James
Campbell, son of his son Patrick. Rev. John Roan was witness to the will.
James Campbell is buried in old Derry churchyard and the inscription on
his tombstone has been published numerous times as an example of the
lugubrious in epitaphs. I t cannot be omitted here.
"Under this stone lies entombed
James Campbell's Dust you see
Who was as healthy and as strong
As many that may be
But now by Death whom all devours
Is laid upon this cell
With crawling worms and reptiles base
He is obliged to dwell.
You that these lines do look upon
May also call to mind
That Death will be your certain fate
Therefore improve your time."
Children: Patrick,5
J ohn,5
and others.
Patrick5 Campbell, (J ames,4 .John,3 John,2 Duncan1).
Married: Feb. 6th, 1755, Eleanor Hays, daughter of Patrick and .Jean
Hays. The marriage service was preformed by Rev. John Roan. (See records of
Paxtang Presbyterian Church, History of the Sesqui-Centennial of Paxtang
Church, by Mathias W. McAlarney, p. 269.)
That Patrick and Eleanor (Hays) Campbell were the .grandparents of
Eleanor Campbell who married Rev. Joshua Williams is matter of absolute
family knowledge. ...
A Patrick Campbell is enrolled as private in Captain James Watson's
Company of Col. Thomas Porter's battalion of Lancaster Co., Aug. 13th, 1776.
Children: James,6 born 1756.
Jane,6 married, 1st, Stockton, 2nd, McFarlane.
and probably others.
James6 Campbell {Patrick,5 J ames,4 .J ohn,3 .J ohn2, Duncan1), born,
1756; died, June 10th, 1781. Married: probably 1779, Margaret McMichael;
died, Sept. 7th, 1825, buried at Carlisle, Pa
After .James Campbell's death his widow married 1st, Aug. 19th, 1782,
Lambert VanDyke, son of Henry and Elizabeth {Davis) VanDyke of Buffalo
Valley. The service was performed by Rev. .John Elder of Paxtang Church. By
her second husband Margaret (McMichael) Campbell had six sons....
After the death of Lambert VanDyke, his widow married a third husband in
1795, Benjamin Thompson of Carlisle, Pa.
James Campbell was a soldier of the Revolution and died at the early age
of twenty-five, from wounds received in battle. Family tradition says that
he was an officer. A James Campbell was ensign in the Officers Seventh
Battalion, Col. John Boyd, 1777. The name appears many times on Pennsylvania
Revolutionary rolls with no means of identification beyond the counties from
which the men enlisted.
After having, searched printed records in vain for a notice of James
Campbell's death, the writer made a trip to Derry graveyard and discovered
that several mistakes had been made in copying the inscriptions for
publication. Three inscriptions of different names Campbells were found to
be incorrect in Mr. Egle's compilation of them. In one case he has the date
of death as Aug. 20th, 1734, and the age as 78, whereas on the tombstone it
is May 20th, and the age 75 years. I found a small stone in-scribed "In
memory of James Campbell, who departed this life June 10th, 1781, aged
twenty-five years. Egle had given the date as June 10th, 1783, ten months
after James Campbell's widow had married her second husband. As his parents
were married in 1755, and we know from the statement of his daughter that he
did not die un- til she was about a year old, this date on the tombstone
fits in exactly with facts we know, and beyond question marks the grave of
our James.
Children Eleanor ,7 born June 26th, 1780.
Eleanor7 Campbell, (James,6 Patrick,5 James,4 John,3 John,2 Duncan1),
born, June 26th, 1780; died, 1856.
Married: June 15th, 1800, Rev. Joshua Williams, born, March 8th, 1768,
son of Lewis and Mary (Hudson) Williams.
Rev. Joshua Williams was pastor of Paxtang and Derry congregations from
Oct., 1799 until 1801 and met and married his wife during that period, which
is further proof that her family still lived at Derry. Her property of
twenty-five thousand dollars was probably her share of her fathers estate.
Children, surnamed Williams: See p. 39.

Effective Genealogy Posting
Queries. New messages posted on genealogy lists should include
the surname (or a variant thereof) in the subject box.
Resist impulse posting. Take a few moments to think about your query
before you post or create a draft first. Planning ahead helps avoid the
embarrassment that a hastily prepared, poorly thought-out, query can
sometimes cause (like mixing up your family names, giving the wrong
dates, and misspelling words).
When writing your query keep in mind what you already know and what it
is you wish to learn. Don't assume that anyone else knows what it is you
seek. Include the name and identifying information for the individual or
family about whom you are writing, the dates and/or timeframe involved,
the location where the individual(s) resided, died, were born, or were
married, and exactly what information you wish to learn. Be concise, but
include all pertinent information that will help others ascertain
whether or not they might have a connection or information to help you.
To include hotlinks (URLs) to other websites, other board messages, your
WorldConnect family tree, etc. in a message, type in the URL (beginning
with http://). But, do not use any HTML tags. The URL automatically
becomes a hotlink when the message is posted.
For additional hints on posting an effective query, see:
http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/news/articles/503.asphttp://www.ancestry.com/library/view/columns/george/32.asp
Providing the documentation of your source material is strongly
encouraged. In the case of family Bible records it is most helpful to
list the name of the person who has possession of the Bible and how the
information was obtained from it. You may also wish to include an image
file uploaded as an attachment in connection with your data post such as
the scanned image of a will, a deed or the genealogy recorded in a
family Bible.
Gary,
I have posted this query to the list several times, and I know Mansfield is
not far from Voluntown, but I'll have to dig deeper into a couple of these
generations to see if there's an Archibald. Have we been in contact before?
Be in touch, and so will I............

Light On theEnglish Origin of a Virginia Family From An English Case
Reporter: Pinkston-Campbell-Bell by Cumeron Allen, 82 N. Arlington Ave, East
Orange NJ
The interesting and precedent - setting case of Campbell v. Frence, argued
24 Feb 1797 in the High Court of Chancery, reported in an old English
nominative reporter, 3 Ves. Jr. 321 (reprinted in 230 English Reports, Full
Reprint 1033) sheds some light on the ancetry of Price Campbell and his
sister Pinkaton (Campbell) Askins of Northumberland and Westmoreland Cos.,
Virginia.
[I am only giving a shorten virsion of this article]
Dr. Fleming Pinkston of London on 23 August 1790 drew up his will:
I understand my that my late sister Margaret Bell has two grand Children
living in Northumberland County, Virginia, with in three miles of North
Cherry Point Church, whom are Price Campbell, a grandson and Pinkston
Campbell, a grandaughter, I give to each of them 500 lbs. He added the
codicill 5 Jan 1791. As to the legacies given by my will to my sister
Margaret Bell's children, I hereby revoke such legacies, they being dead.
When the two legatees learned of the changed will following Dr.
Pinkston's death, the High Court of Chancery in 1797, being persuaded of
their identity, struck the codicill down. On the fact that the death of the
legatees was not true. Pinkston Campbell married William Askins in America.
1 Aug 1794 Pryce Campbell of the County of Westmoreland, Virginia
in North America, the son of Gilbert Campbell deceased late and grand nephew
of Doctor Fleming Pinkstan of London in Great Britain, appointed Wm P Tibbs
exq of Richmond Co. VA his lawful atty. (Northumberland Co., VA Record Bk #
15 p. 83). Campbell for and in consideration of the Plantation called
Plainfield, a young Negro man & woman made over to tibbs all the Estate
(Ibid p. 82) 5 Aug 1794 William Askins and Pinkstan Askins his wife (which
said Pinkston is the daughter of Gilbert Campbell and Grand Neiece of
Fleming Pinkstan Dr. of Physic late of London, on their part entered into
agreement with Willoughby Newton of Westmoreland Co Va granting him 15%
commission of sd legacy should be under 1,000 lbs and 10% if over that sum
with all expenses paid (ibid p. 84).
The Campbells seemed to have alternated residence between
Northumberland Co & Westmoreland Co. 1 Mar 1769 Gilbert Campbell of
Westmoreland Co. sold two slaves to David Hoyd of Northumberland Co.
(Westmoreland Co., Deeds & Wills #15 p. 88).
Pryse Campbell and his wife Sarah had children baptized in St.
Stephen's Parish Northumberland Co., VA. Viz: James Campbell born 20 Mar
1780, Charles Campbell born 11 Oct 1782, Robert Campbell born 10 Jan 1785,
Pryse Campbell born 25 Dec 1786, and Christian Pinkston Campbell born 5 Nov
1788 (last one is a daughter). (Beverly Fleet, Virginia Colonial Abstracts
3:35, abstrating Northumberland Co., VA Records of Births 1661-1810 the so
called St. Stephehn's Parish Register)
Pinkston's 1790 Will refers to Campbell as residing in Northumberland
Co VA. 23 Sep 1794 John Cralle and Mary his wife of Parish of St. Stephen Co
of Northumberland, conveyed a small tract to Pryce Campbell of the Parish of
Cople Westmoreland Co., VA (Northumberland Co VA Bk #15, p. 133)
24 Apr 1800 Pryce Campbell of Northumberland Co. made will proved 14
Jul 1800 naming wife Sarah "My two oldest sons James Campbell and Charles
Campbell" and "all the rest of my children when they come of age.
(Northumberland Co., Va Record Bk 16 p. 147) William Askins 27 Mar 1800
purchased a life estate in a tract in Westmoreland Co from Willoughby Newton
(Wesmoreland Co., VA Deed and Wills 10 p. 137) William Askins Senr was a
grantee again on 13 Feb 1809 (Ibid D. & W 21 p. 544)
Hope this helps someone.. I do know that many of the Henrico Co. families
were mentioned in the Westmoreland & Northumberland Co records. Some of
which were of course later found in Amherst Co. VA, they may not have moved
but the Co lines did.

Hello
I have subscribed to this list in the hopes of locating someone who is aware
of the research of Willis Levi Campbell.
He apparently researched a number of families in the Cardross Bonhill
parishes of Bonhill including the family of James Barr and Isobel Mclean.
(married 1813 Cardross).
If anyone is aware of his research I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thank you

tribes of Indians from passing through the Colony of Virginia on the eastern

opening up of a road up the Valley was made by the Orange Court, March 30,
1745.

Harman Genelogy (Southern Branch) with Biographical Sketches 1700-1924. by
John Newton Harman, Sr. Tazewell, VA Tazewell Historical Society 1925
From an examination of "Chalkley's Records of Augusta County, Virginia: (See
Appendix "B") ... Draper's Meadows settlement in 1748 was not the first
settlement as claimed by previous historians, .. Adam Harman founded the
first permanent English-speaking settlement in the Mississippi Valley. .. He
is shown on New rive in 1745, '46 & '47. .. May 1745, James Patton and John
Buchanan, Gent, having viewed the way from Frederick county line through
that part of this county called Augusta, ... we have laid off the said road
: begin at Thom's brook, at Frederick county line, thence to Benjamin
Allen's ford and Robert Caldwell's path, thens Beard's ford on North river
and Alex Thompson's ford on Middle River, Tinkling spring, Beverly Manor
line [Note by Carol Mitchell: This is where Patrick Campbell's land was,
will send that one later, Gilbert & Patrick Campbell lived on the Manor
lines Patrick on the Beverley Manor line and Gilbert on the Borden Manor
line] to Gilbert Campbell's ford on north branch of James River to Cherry
Tree Bottom on James River, to Adam Harman's on the New or Wood's river. ...
The report made 1745 establishes the fact that Adam Harman was liveing in
Gunpowder Springs, now known as Eggleston Springs, in what is now Giles Co.,
Virginia in 1745. His house was erected prior to 1745 years before founding
of Draper's Meadows. Another error in histories states that Thomas Walker
exploration assisted Stalnaker raise his house in 1748 but they did not
explor until 1750. The 1st English-speaking people in the Mississippi Valley
was made by Adam Harmon signed William E Connelly Dec 12 1923.

I think these are the Campbell's that went to Orange/Augusta Co., VA. I
think the Gilbert Campbell (have not found a lot of Campbell's with this
given name) is the Clue, he is here and also next to Patrick Campbell in
Orange/Augusta Co. VA]
[I think the No Survey means they did not settle the land for some reason at
least they did not get it surveyed]

Are there any on this list who count among their ancestors Joseph
Campbell [b. 25 December, 1844] and Hannah McGuire [b. 22 November,
1846] of Albion Mines {Stellarton, N.S. Canada]. Joseph's occupation was
coal miner.
Joseph and Hannah's progeny included:
Elizabeth [no birthdate given]
William [no birthdate given]
Andrew R. b. 09 April, 1871
John, b. 17 May, 1874; d. 28 September, 1942
Colin, b. 15 May, 1876
Neil D., b. 22 April, 1878
Mary M., b. 19 May, 1882
Catherine E., b. 04 July, 1884
Joseph W.B., b. 20 October, 1886
Bonaventure, b. 14 July, 1888
I'm descended from John who left Stellarton around the turn of the
century, moving to Dominion, Cape Breton, N.S. to work in the mines
there.
I'm relatively new to geneaology and have been trying with mixed results
to conduct my research from limited family records and on the Internet.
The mining history of Albion Mines [Stellarton] suggests that the
initial coal miners working the seams there, were brought from New
England around 1827 or thereabouts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yours, aye
Mike Campbell
someone on here said they were researching campbell's of indiana, Pennsyslvania and some of the surrounding counties. If that person could please e-mail me, I'd be very grateful. jomac2k(a)bellsouth.net thanks.
