Patricia,
The following is a guide but is taken from the slightly unreliable
Harvey-Johnston's 'Heraldry of the Campbells'. Being of heraldic interest,
only the eldest sons are given who would have inherited the arms, but among
this you may gain enough dates and sources to be able to do the research.
The County for most of the references would be Ayrshire or the town of Ayr
or the city of Edinburgh when mentioned since several of the family were
lawyers there.
George Campbell of Cessnock was believed to have probably been the 4th son
of George Campbell of Loudoun who died in 1492. (See Balfour-Paul 'Scots
Peerage' volume under 'Loudoun, Earls of '). George was k. at Flodden Field
in 1513 and was succeeded by his son:
John campbell of Cessnock who was living in 1527. In 1553 he married Janet,
Dau. of Sir Hugh of Loudoun and was suc. by his son:
Sir George Campbell of Cessnock who married Agnes Cunninghame (will recorded
Edinburgh 25 April 1611). He was buried in Greyfriars Churchyard in
Edinburgh on the 25th of May 1666. (For article on his arms and Cessnock
Castle see MacGibbon and Ross 'Castellated and Domestic Architecture of
Scotland). He was succeeded by his son:
Sir Hugh (whom you mention) of Cessnock who married Elizabeth daughter and
co-heiress of George Campbell, Master of Loudoun who died before his father
and without male heirs in 1612. Sir Hugh died on the 20th of September 1686
aged 71 and was buried in Greyfriars Chruchyard on the 23rd. He was MP for
Ayrshire 1639-41, 1645-47 and 1649-50. He was appointed Lord Justice Clerk
and Lord of Session by Parlaiment in 1649 but declined the offices. He was
suc. by his son:
Sir George Campbell of Cessnock, retoured heir to his father 5th of March
1691. He was Lord Justice Clerk and died in 1704. He was succeeded by his
daughter Margaret who married on the 29th of July 1697 Alexander, 2nd Earl
of Marchmont (see that family, Scots Peerage) who assumed the name of
Campbell and quartered the Campbell arms with his own.
Arms of Campbell of Cessnock, recorded at Lyon Office 1672:
Gyronny of eight or and sable (gold and black) without a red bordure charged
with eight gold escallops. On a canton in dexter chief gyronny of eight
ermine and gules (red). Crest: A phoenic head erased or (gold). Motto;
Canstanter et prudenter.
Captain Hugh Campbell of Barquharrie was the 3rd son or grandson of Sir Hugh
Campbell of Cessnock and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of George, Master of
Loudoun. He married 5th June 1702 Margaret daughter of David Boswell of
Auchinleck (same family from whom descended Johnson's biographer Boswell -
Johnson's Dicationary etc.) They had a son;
Hugh Campbell of Barquharrie afterwards of Mayfield, Comptroller of the
Customs at Ayr, married 10th January 1725 Margaret daughter of David
Henderson of Tinochside by whom he had three sons:
Hugh Campbell dsp (died before his father)
Claud Campbell dsp
Hume Campbell (may have been natural) b. 1742 and bapt. at Tower of Cessnock
15 Jan 1742.
Bruce, his heir: (see OPR - Old Parish Register for Cessnock)
Bruce Campbell of Mayfield died in Feb 1813 aged 79. He had m. Annabella ,
dau. of James Wilson and had 5 sons, the eldest:
Captain Hugh Campbell of Barquharrie of the 85th regt. d. at Bath in England
5 Jan 1824 leaving 4 sons and was succ. by the eldest another Hugh.
(source also Paterson's County of Ayr).
A kinsman, George James Campbell of Treesbank in Ayrshire must have
purchased Cessnock circa. 1870 since he died in April 1906 with the
territorial title of Campbell of Cessnock and Treesbank.
The tower house (called 'castle') of Cessnock was until recently owned and
occupied by one of the sisters of the late Countess of Loudoun of the
Abney-Hastings family (originally the Earls of Loudoun were Campbells but
the title was designed so that it would also pass through the female line).
Hope this is some help, Diarmid Campbell in Argyll in Scotland

GAD!! Don't you HATE it when people don't know what they are talking
about??!!! LOL!!(<-------- for those who don't recognise it, that would
be "sarcasm")
Diarmid, I want to say thank you for ALWAYS sending informative,
entertaining, and educational emails. I find myself reading all of them
regardless of the fact that they appear to have nothing to do with my
own line. Makes me long to be back in Scotland....of course, "Corn
Flakes" make me long to be back in Scotland!
So...Thanks!

Hello,
I just found a magazine called Scotland Magazine. New to me any way. It has
in issue 7 May 2003 a nice article on the Clan Campbell. I thought everyone
would like to know. This is not spam. I have no interest in the magazine.
Patty
Hello all,
I found this site with burial listings in the Hamilton Co., OH area. For those of you who have Campbell's from that area, there are numerous listings. Spring Grove has more of the older listings. Just click on the Genealogy link and do a search.
http://www.springgrove.org/oakhill/OH_home.HTM
If you have Adobe you can click on the numbers and see the cards with parents listed and place of birth.
Happy hunting!!!

Does anyone have the children and further descendants of Sir Hugh Campbell
of Cessnock and his wife, Elizabeth Campbell, up until about 1740? And more
pointedly, did any of the women marry into the Craig family in the 1700s
(say 1720-1740)? Thanks for any direction on this.

I don't know what happened to those messages. I certainly did not put all of that codeing in there etc. I tried to send pictures.
Now, is there someone who might be able to walk me through the correct process of sending them etc.

Good Afternoon,
The picture of John CAmpbell as the founder of Irontown looks just like my
grandfather Charles Robert Campbell, son of Richard H. CAmpbell and Martha
Parrott.
Charles Robert had a brother John of whom we have no information. Could
this be a connection.

The 1840 Ripley Co., MO census has this:
Page 336 - Joseph Campbell
Page 338 - Ellis Campbell(my ancestor)
Page 341 - Boyd Campbell, Lewis Campbell, James B. Campbell, & John B.Campbell
The 1850 Reynolds Co., Mo census only has a Richard Campbell age 26 and
born in TN.
Samuel Paxton Campbell is on the 1880 cenus of Ripley Co., Mo. Do you need
this info?? Next door to him is an A W Campbell age 62 born the same place,
is probably a brother of Samuel as Samuel is age 55 then. They are both
showing their birthplace as TN and their parents born in SC.
Ripley County Records - Obituaries 1874-1910 by Thelma S.McManus has the
obit of Samuel Paxton Campbell, do you have that? 7 April 1910.
Hope some of this is of help to you. He did not come to MO until
1871. Jeanette

To find your Samuel try accessing the census.
I have found a number of people this way. To do so . .
Get all the Campbell Families in your county in 1840 - this census does not
have all the individuals names, only the head of the household and the age
groups of the household members.
Then go to the 1850 and get the same. Your Samuel should be there.
Sometimes families are on the same page or a page or two off. See what you
have.
I'd compare all the 1840 families to the 1840 families and see what I had
left. If Samuel was an older child and his parents did not die in the 1840s
and did not move, then his family would be there.
I have also had luck doing queries on ancestry.com for the last name and the
date I was looking for then emailing everyone with a posting. Also query on
all the other Campbells in your census records. In fact I just found the
parents and ggrandparents of my GGGGGrandmother Clark in the late 1700s.
One person had found a will that nails it all down, plus she has more info
about her family - I sent out a dozen emails to find it! I am a really
happy camper!
PS - familysearch.org's 1880 census has a WONDERFUL index. Also my local

not regreted the expenditure.
In researching an article on Hoagy Carmichael for the magazine I edit, I discovered that he had ancestors who were Campbells.
Hoagy Carmichael is the composer of such melodies as Star Dust and Georgia on My Mind.
Here is the link:http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/collections/hoagy/research/genealogy/
The text follows:A Genealogy of Hoagy Carmichael THE ANCESTORS OF HOAGY CARMICHAELCompiled by Stephen M. BrownA Brief Synopsis of the CARMICHAEL/CAMPBELL and ROBISON/SKIRVIN direct family lines. HOAGY’S GRANDPARENTS were… Michael Taylor Carmichael, married Laura Emma CampbellAlexander Robison, married Mary Catherine SkirvinDuncan Carmichael (1) arrived in America from Lanark, Lanarkshire, Scotland, in 1763, with two of his sons that we know of; Duncan and his younger brother Archibald (2), born in 1754. It is not known who elder Duncan’s wife was. They settled for a time in Virginia on the North Carolina border. Archibald was a soldier out of Caswell County, Virginia, in the Revolutionary War. They later settled in Stokes/Surry Counties, North Carolina. Archibald married Elizabeth Nix or Hix, born in 1755 in Scotland. They had a son Richard (3), who married Mary Graves, daughter of Peter Graves; their lineage is unknown. Archibald and Elizabeth both died in Stokes/Surr!
y, North Carolina.Richard had a son Peter (4), who married Lydia Teague, also from that North Carolina county, Teague (but we think really Deeg, German). Her ancestors: Teague/Deeg, Stoltz, Holder, Volck, Vollweiler, Krause, etc., were all from the German Palatinate (Rhenish Palatinate region). Her ancestors, Andreas Volck and wife Anna Catherine Meckel were aboard the first boatload of all German immigrants to this country. They traveled with the Lutheran minister, Joshua Kocherthal, 11 familes, 41 persons in the winter of 1708 and landed in Highland Sopus, New York (now known as Newburg, New York, 60 miles up the Hudson River from the tip of Manhattan). The year 1709 would begin the start of tens of thousands more Palatines to immigrate to our shores within the next several decades. Lydia’s ancestors would stay for a generation in Eastern Pennsylvania before moving down to North Carolina to meet the Carmichaels. We have the Moravians in both Pennsylvania and North Caroli!
na to thank for keeping very detailed records on our peoples. In an atmosphere of anti-slavery, many families from North Carolina would move up into the newly opened areas of southern Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. In September of 1829 our group of Carmichaels, Graves, Teagues, Holders and Volcks, and other related or unrelated families (Penningtons, Longs, Oliphants, Kirks and others) would move to Greene and Monroe Counties, Indiana. Richard and wife Mary, plus Peter and wife Lydia, settled in Greene County. Richard was a hard-shelled Baptist and eventually was buried in Clinton, Indiana, (near Kokomo) at Veneman Cemetery and Mary was buried in Monroe County in Tague Cemetery. His son Peter had a meatpacking business and a partner (J. Urmey). Peter was the treasurer of his Mason’s Lodge when he died. Both are buried at Clover Hill Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.Peter (4) had a son, Michael Taylor Carmichael (5), born 1845, died 1906, Monroe County, Indiana. "Grandpa Tayl!
or," as he was known, married Laura Emma Campbell (7). She was the daughter of William Alexander Campbell (6). Her Great-great-great-great grandfather was born in Scotland and married there in 1672 to Mary McCoy. (He was Duncan Campbell (1).) They had a son, Robert (2) and Robert had a son Hugh (3) and both settled in Augusta County, Virginia, 1730s-40s. Both of them were born Ulster Scots. Hugh had a son, Hugh (4), who was in the Revolutionary War. His son, also a Hugh (5), married Polly Alexander (5). Her father William (4) and her grandfather James (3) both fought in the Revolutionary War. Laura Emma died in Indianapolis in 1949. Laura Emma’s father, William Alexander married Agness Brewster (2), daughter of James Brewster and Ellenor Williamson. Agness and her two sisters, Jennett and Ellenor, were Patriots of the Revolutionary War, by spinning wool, baking bread and melting down household utensils into bullets of Washington’s Army fighting nearby. Their father James!
was also a Patriot. Polly’s Great-grandfather, William (2) was the immigrant. He taught in a classical school, founded by his brother Robert, that was the genesis of Washington and Lee University. These Campbells, Alexanders, Malcolms, Magills, Brewster, and Williamson were all Ulster Scots Presbyterians. Michael Taylor Carmichael and Laura Emma Campbell had a son, Howard Clyde Carmichael, born on a farm near Harrodsburg (just south of Bloomington) in 1875, and died (where?) in 1943. Howard drove a livery rig at the time he was dating and after he married Lida Mary Robison. After Hoagy was born, they traveled around the country, him finding work to support them. Eventually he became an electrical linesman who also helped to found his union. During the Spanish American War, he was the middle weight champion of his regiment. He and his wife are buried at Rose Hill Cemetery, Bloomington, Indiana.Howard Clyde Carmichael married Lida Mary Robison in Monroe County, Indiana.(--?!
--) Robison and his wife (1) were born in the North of Ireland, according to the death certificate of Alexander Robison (3). (At present I do not have their names.) They settled somewhere in Pennsylvania. Again referring to Alexander’s death certificate, his father Joseph (2) and mother Margery Ann (1) were born in Pennsylvania. Joseph married Marjory Ann Shook (Shuck) in Start County, Ohio in January, 1837. They settled in Jefferson County, Ohio, where Alexander was born in 1845. By 1850 Marjory was either dead or gone and Joseph remarried, to Prudence Peterson, daughter of John. Census records for Monroe County at the turn of the century have Joseph, Prudence, and Alexander living in that county. (I have no further back on Margery Shook, but her name is German.) [NOTE: The original typescript spells this name both Margery and Marjory.]I have never found a death certificate for Joseph and assume that he left Monroe County before his death. Alexander Robison joined the Arm!
y into the Civil War when he was only 15-years-old. He was in the Indiana Cavalry 2nd, Company G, 1861-1865. He was engaged in several battles, after which his unit was captured and, as prisoners of war, sent to Andersonville Prison. However, they mutinied onboard the train and escaped. Alexander’s shoulder had been injured during saber exercises. Long after the war he had his shoulder operated on using only cold water as an anesthetic, this to remove cists, and four times during his life. Alexander was a carpenter, as was his father Joseph. (According to Hoagy, "My Great-grandfather built the first sawn timber structure as a change from log cabins.") Alexander and his son, Munson and Leroy Burton, helped to build many of the buildings and homes in and around the Bloomington, Indiana, area. (And Hoagy helped too for a short while.)Alexander Robison married Mary Catherine Skirvin (4) daughter of James Hartwell Skirvin (3) and Elizabeth Hedrick (1). Elizabeth was born in Law!
rence County, Indiana, in 1822. (I have no further back on her.) James Skirvin was also born in 1822, but in Monroe County, Indiana. One source says he was killed as he and horses were crossing Salt Creek near where he lived—a horse kicked him. Another source says that he was in the Civil War, but I have no proof of this. James’s father was George Skirvin, the patriarch of all the Monroe County Skirvins. He was a farmer and also a coopersmith by trade. He helped found the Mt. Gilead Christian Church in Monroe County. Born in Kentucky, he was in the War of 1812 (1813-14), and was captured by Indians. The Indians had a celebration and got drunk. George pretended to get drunk with them, waited for them to fall asleep, then swam across the Ohio River to his freedom. Old George was granted Bounty Land (in Iowa) for his service.George married Elizabeth Smith in Kentucky. (I have no further back on her.) George’s father was John Skirvin (1) who married Polly (--?--). Both of !
them were born in c. 1750s in Virginia. After some research, my hunch is that these Skirvins (ancestors) are from the Glasgow or Lothian regions of Scotland.Lida Mary Robison was born in 1878 in Monroe County, Indiana. She married Howard Clyde Carmichael in that county and had four children: Hoagland Howard, Geogiana (later known as Georgia), Martha Claire, and Joanne, who died very young. She was a theatre pianist and Ragtime pianist, as well as Hoagy’s first teacher. She died in California in 1959. Hoagy Carmichael has two sons by his marriage to Ruth Menardi: Hoagy Bix and Randy Bob.
Beth,
The ones in Abingdon were lated to Col. Arthur and General William
Campbell.
The Colin Campbell we have been looking for shows up on the 1830 census
in Washington County, Virginia. Haven't found him anywhere else yet.
Except there is a Colin Campbell in Russell County (at least it was in that
general area) on the 1792 personal tax list. Nothing else about him. We
know our Colin mustered out of the Rev. War and Fort Pitt in 1777. So far,
except for the 1792, we haven't found anything about him until the 1830. We
did find that his son, Archibald, married Mary Polly Wren Gregory (widow of
Thomas Gregory) in 1807 in Augusta County, VA. They moved to present day
Washington County - Abingdon.
Archibald was born in 1774. In 1807 he would have been 33 years old. I
have always wondered why he waited so late in years to marry or maybe
something happened to a first wife.
Colin and Jean Mcpherson Campbell had Archibald in 1774. Colin had no
more children until 1792. We don't believe Jean to be the mother of the
other children. But to prove that one we have to figure where Colin, Jean
and Archibald were from 1777 until 1792 (if indeed this is our Colin) and
then until they show up in Washington County.
Mary Polly Wren Gregory Campbell was the daughter of Henry and Catherine
Wren who lived in Monongalia and Hampshire(?) counties of what is now West
Virginia. When I looked at the map of where Fort Pitt was through the above
counties to Washington County/Augusta Counties the line is reasonably
straight. But that one is a guess. My father, who did most of the work on
this line, always believed that they came through the Shenandoah Valley. I
wish we could have found it before he passed away last fall. It would have
tickled him.
Sorry this is a little long. If you or anyone else on the list has any
idea of where to go from here, then let me know.
