James Campbell who lived in Carter County, TN, in 1840, and received a pension for his Revolutionary Service came from Moore County, North Carolina.
James Campbell, age 80, is shown on the Carter county, Eastern division, Tennessee, census for 1840 as receiving a pension as a veteran of the revolutionary war or other military service. [Name: James Campbell Military service: Veteran Age: 80 Township: Not Stated County: Carter State: Tennessee Roll: 518 Page: 170]
Private, North Carolina Line, $33.33 Annual Allowance $99.99 Amount Received September 30 1833 Pension Started Age 77 (1835 Tn Pension Roll)
Revolutionary War pension claim, s.1647, based upon the military service of James Campbell in that war.
I requested the pension file and found this information in the file:
James Campbell was born in October, 1756 in Moore County, North Carolina.
While a resident of Moore County, North Carolina, he enlisted February 15, 1780, served three months as private under Captain Cage and Lieutenant Nicholas Hall in the North Carolina Troops, was at the siege of Charleston, South Carolina where he was taken prisoner, held eight days and releaed on parole, after which, in the fall of 1780, at Saatee, South Carolina, while on his return home, he volunteered and served two months under Colonel Wayde against the Tories. He again enlisted in 1780 and served two months as a private in Captain Jacob Duck's company, Colonel Philip Alston's North Carolina Regiment. He volunteered in fall of 1781, served three months under Captain Henry Gaston in the North Carolina Troops and was in an engagement at Cross Creek in Cumberland County, North Carolina.
Then from federal census we see:
1790; Moore County, North Carolina; James Campbell and wife and one son under age 16.
In Moore County, North Carolina in 1790 there is a Duncan Campbell, Charles Campbell, Alexander Campbell, Angus Campbell, Daniel Campbell, John Campbell, Matthew Campbell, and Murdock Campbell.
i've found no connection to Zachariah Campbell of Carter County to date.
Hope this helps.

QUESTION FOR adyer,??,
Quoting YOU, I,m not directly related to James Carter, BUT do descend from
the same Carter line, <?????> this James Carter was a Nephew of My Ancestor,
Samuel Carter, of Fountain Co. IND.
I have no IDEA as to why you chose not claim kin to the Carter Family,
PLEASE look at your Statement; & Picture the Potential
<THAT OFTEN HAPPENED> That Male that you are Claiming as
<MY LINE> Married your 4th Grt Grand Mother, Grand Mother's
Brother Married, your 4th Grt Grand PA'S Sister, but you only have INFO on
4th Grt Grand PA. When your 4th Grt Grand PA;s
Sister's Grand SON Married your 4th Grt Grand Pa's Grt Grand Daughter. CUZ
YOUR DAUGHTER JUST MARRIED HER Cousin , BECAUSE YOU only concerned your self
with <MY LINE>
OH NO< THAT JUST HAPPENED IN Other peoples Families Occasionally, WELL, I
am here to tell you that JUST Such Happened in MY Family Recently, BECAUSE
those TWO Cousins of mine HAVE no IDEA who they are kin too. NOT only are they
COUSINS, THEY are Cousins Through 4 Family Lines.
SO take a Member of the Family 4 or 5 Generations Back as <MY LINE> THAT MY
LINE person would have no idea who they they were kin too, by the 5
Generation. OF COURSE Marrying a Distant Cousin MAY not Bother THAT MY LINE Descendant.
JUST asking,?? BUT Something to PONDER
I have Some Families that MY records Are connected 9, 11. 12
& one 14 Generations to my Great Grand daughters AT <20 & 19> Years old. &
One of those Ancestral families I had two 4th Grt Grand Fathers Resulting

D. N. A. NO MATCH, MY Line has no record of 4th

Rebecca, you have really thrown me a curve here! I've done a LOT of
research on the Glasgow Tobacco Lords and have really had my mind set that
"my" Zachariah was one of them. But there is a ring of authenticity to what
you tell me, so I will go off in another direction now.
Yes, I know many Scots came from Ireland, but the reference I had was that
he was "supposedly a native of Scotland" and I took that to mean he was
directly from Scotland, rather than Scottish by way of Ireland. As to
whether the Carter County, TN, Zachariah had a son named Jeremiah, I've
always been a little bit hesitant about that. Here are the reasons I have a
small question:
Source:
Recollections of Nat E. Hyder, Elizabethton historian, newspaper columnist.
Copied from
"Historical Reminiscences of Carter County, Tennessee." Edited by Mildred
Kozsuch, pp. 125-126
[NOTE: I can tell you from personal knowledge that Nat Hyder was from a
founding Carter County family and was respected for his knowledge of local
history.]
.. Zachariah Campbell settled at Hampton and is buried there. He had the
following sons: Jeremiah, Zachariah, Jr., Isaac and Solomon and two
daughters, Hannah and Elizabeth. Jeremiah lived and died near the spring in
Hampton, and Zachariah, Jr., lived about one mile west of Cardens Bluff.
Isaac married Susannah Smith, daughter of Edward Smith, and lived and died
across Watauga River from said Bluff. Solomon, when a young man, left for
Georgia and was never seen again. Elizabeth married Mark Lacy and lived in
Turkeytown, but Hannah remained single and lived to an old age in Johnson
County near Butler. Lochona was a brother of Zachariah, Sr., and a friend
of Col. John Tipton. Solomon Campbell was one of the first constables in
Carter County, and Lochona Campbell the first justice. Jeremiah Campbell
was one of the first jurymen and also on the committee to sell the old
court-house and build a new one in 1820.
But as you will note from my previous post containing this same excerpt, no
mention is made of a son named Jeremiah:

[NOTE: I can also tell you from personal knowledge that Robert Nave is/was
a very knowledgeable professional genealogist and archivist for the
Tennessee State Library and Archives, as well as a native of Carter County.]
.. Zachariah Campbell, another pioneer and soldier of the Revolution,
settled near Edward Smith above Carden's Bluff. He was supposedly a native
of Scotland and came here with several brothers. Isaac and Zachariah
Campbell [Jr.] were sons of Zachariah, the pioneer. A daughter [Elizabeth
Campbell] married Mark Lacy, a son of another old family living in the
vicinity of Hampton. Zachariah Campbell was one of the first magistrates of
Carter County when it was organized in 1796.
Mr. Nave makes no mention of a son named Jeremiah, but it may simply have
been an incomplete list that he gave.
One other reason I wonder whether there was a son Jeremiah is because I have
an 1823 deed from "Heirs of Zachariah Campbell, Dec'd." to John Shields.
The named heirs were: Leah (his wife), Isaac, Zachariah, Hannah, and
daughter and son-in-law Elizabeth and Mark Lacy. No mention of a Jeremiah.
A Jeremiah Campbell seemed always to be involved in some way with Zachariah
or his children's dealings (deeds, marriages), and he may well have been a
brother. Or he may have been a son who had reached maturity and acted more
as a contemporary of his father.
Thank you for your inquiry and kind responses.

Hi: I was just reading your message that you have on Ancestry. I too am a decendant from James Campbell of Cherry Valley, NY. I have been doing a lot of research on this family. I recently sent in a lot of information to Ruby G. Campbell at the Scot CCS(NA).
I received information back from her also.
I am interested in documenting what I have found so far. I was planning to make a trip to the Mormon Family Research Center.
My Grandmother was Annie I Campbell she was born in Corinna Penobscot ME in 1867 and died in Rhode Island in 1942. She married Nathan Turner in Corinna on 11 Dec 1892.
Her father was William Campbell born 24 Feb 1825 in Wellington, Piscataquis Co., ME and died in 1910. He married Lucy Ann Packard on 16 April 18 47.
His father was Daniel Campbell born 13 July 1797 in Bowdoin Lincoln, ME and died 3 May 1845. He married Ruth Huff.
His father was John Campbell born 1769 in Georgetown, Lincoln, ME and died in 1824. He married Isabel Cotton around 1787.
His father was William Campbell born 2 Aug 1736 in Georgetown York, ME and died between 1810-1820. He married Martha riffin 20 Aug 1764.
His father was William Campbell born around 1708 or 1718 in Londonderry, Antrim, Ulster Ireland and died 1782 in Georgetown, Lincoln, ME. He married Elizabeth in 1729 in Boston, MA.
His father was James Campbell born 1690 in Londonderry Antrim Ulster, Ireland and died in 1770 in Cherry Valley, Ostego, New York. He married Janet Humphrey in 1715 in Ireland.
You were saying that the NY& New England Campbells are connected to the VA Campbells. Was that through James's brother Samuel?
I too have a lot of information that I have gotten from the Campbell Clan Society North America also Family search and other sites. Do you know where I can find documentation on this family. I have followed it all the way back.
I would be willing to trade off information on what I have so far if you are interested. Perhaps you could tell me where I can get documentation at or give me the name of some books that might have this family in it.
You may email me directly if you wish.

Joyce I believe this question about Jame was for me? My James Campbell's started in Cherry Valley, NY, I have yet to follow all of the James lines, but I can tell you that the New Eng & NY Cambell's are connected to the VA Campbell's they desend from 2 brother that came over first landing in Boston, I have much information on our lineage back to Ireland, Scotland & England as well...
James Campbell and his brother Samuel both came to America from Ireland. James landed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1728, and in 1735 he removed to Londonderry, New Hampshire, and from there to Cherry Valley, New York, where he arrived in 1741, the first Campbell in that settlement.
The New England and New York Campbells were of the same Clan in Scotland, but distantly related to the Virginia branch of the family. "
Email me directly and I will be happy to trade info with you, this lineage is of royal blood and well documented in history

Thank you Jane Ann for your helpful information also. Do you have any information that links Zachariah Campbell to a son Jeremiah?
The information at the LDS library is published in this book: Zacharias Campbell (1740-1778); a study of the origins of an early Scottish American settler and his family, by Levin H. Campbell (FHL FAM HIST Book call number 929.273C153ca). Zacharias Campbell, son of James Campbell and Mary Murdoch was born in Glasgow, Scotland and later came and settled on the Rappahannock River in Virginia and later came to Maryland. He married Mary Hicks in 1765. Zacharias' sister, Isabel Campbell, married Peter Murdock, in Glasgow, Scotland . Mary Murdock is the dau of Zacharias Murdock and Elizabeth Roger and granddaughter of Peter Murdock (1670-1761). Peter Murdock is also the grandson of Peter Murdock (1670-1671).
Zacharias and Mary Hicks Campbell had 4 children: Mary, Isabella, Elizabeth, Levin Hicks and Anne. Zacharias died in 1778 and his wife Mary died just a few months later. There were both letters and court documents regarding his children and estate. Zacharias was a tobacco merchant. I find in MD early census records a Zacharias Campbell in Dorchester County, Maryland, on rent rolls in 1767. Also find that Zacharias was a Patriot and represented Dorchester County in Anapolis 1774.
I also found this reference:Name: Zacharias Campbell Year: 1771 Place: Maryland Source Publication Code: 1243 Primary Immigrant: Campbell, Zacharias Annotation: Date and place of mention in land survey. County and name of land purchased are provided. Original records are contained in Land Office Registers, indexed starting on page vii of the introduction. Source Bibliography: COLDHAM, PETER WILSON. Settlers Of Maryland 1679 - 1783. Consolidated Edition. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 2002. Page: 101
Zachariah Campbell (1740-1821) of Carter County, TN is certainly of Scot descent. However, many Scots went to Ireland and were there before coming to America. I have nothing further to locate Zachariah's parents or where he came from at this point, and a lot of work to do. Kind regards, Rebecca

Rebecca, thank you very much for your communications. I shall certainly pursue your information. I am quite surprised at the idea of "my" Zachariah Campbell coming from Ireland, but that is the nature of genealogy, isn't it? Lots of blind alleys and dead ends. Two immediate comments:
1. I found the LDS library to have rather dubious information. Some LDS information of which I have first-hand knowledge is incorrect. I do not think much documentation was required for the submission of genealogy records, if in fact they are more careful today. Seeing something in print is very persuasive, even if it is wrong. But again, I will certainly pursue what you have sent to me.
2. The land grant and deed information you forwarded are in fact documents I myself transcribed from our Tennessee State Library and Archives here in Nashville, and submitted to the Tennessee genealogical website.
I concluded that the Carter County Zachariah Campbell was the Glasgow Zacharias Campbell because of a couple of references--one I believe a census--to his having been born in Scotland. See this excerpt:
FISH SPRINGS COMMUNITY

An Excerpt From "The Watauga Spinnerette," v. 27, no. 6, Oct. 1950. Herman Robinson, Editor. Article by Robert T. Nave.
Copied from "Historical Reminiscences of Carter County, Tennessee," Edited by Mildred Kozsuch, pp. 102-103
Fish Springs is another one of Carter County's early communities. Its location was one of importance during the early days as travel to and from North Carolina and Virginia and the Watauga Settlement was through the area.
.....
Edward Smith, a pioneer settler here, and a Revolutionary soldier, owned a large portion of the valley in Revolutionary days. He is believed to have come from somewhere in the Valley of Virginia, tradition says Powell's Valley, Virginia. He was one of the first magistrates in Washington County, North Carolina. He was twice married and reared a large family. His sons were: Jacob, Nicholas, William, Daniel and John Smith. These five sons were the progenitors of nearly all the Smiths in Carter County. Cornelius Bowman, John Peavyhouse, George Gabbart, Isaac Campbell, Lawrence Duncan and Vaught Heaton married daughters of Edward Smith.
Zachariah Campbell, another pioneer and soldier of the Revolution, settled near Edward Smith above Carden's Bluff. He was supposedly a native of Scotland and came here with several brothers. Isaac and Zachariah Campbell [Jr.] were sons of Zachariah, the pioneer. A daughter [Elizabeth Campbell] married Mark Lacy, a son of another old family living in the vicinity of Hampton. Zachariah Campbell was one of the first magistrates of Carter County when it was organized in 1796.
Zachariah lived to an old age, but I've never found his wife's name. You are very, very kind to set me on the correct path. I always admire the generosity of genealogists. I will recheck my census records when I have time to dig it all out.
Thank you again. Please stay in touch.

Hi Roger,
You are correct to rule out the James Campbell and Mary Murdock (dau of Zacharias Murdock) theory as parents to Zachariah Campbell who lived in Carter County Tennessee. James' and Mary's son Zacharias Campbell married Mary Hicks and had only one son, Levin Hicks Campbell, b. 1774 (they had several daughters). Zachariah died 1778 and I recently visited the LDS library and saw a very well documented book including personal letters and court records regarding the children at the time of his early death. James Campbell and wife Mary Murdock Campbell were from Glasgow, Scotland.
Zachariah Campbell of Carter County Tennessee was alive after that Zachariah died in 1788 and on the 1796 tax list in Carter County. He is an entirely different Zachariah Campbell, and may have emigrated from Ireland.
I descend from Zachariah Campbell's son Jeremiah's son Jeremiah Jr. who went to Shelby County, Illinois.
Jeremiah Campbell Jr., b.1797 in TN married Hannah Stone 28 Jul 1822 in Carter County, TN and died 31 Oct 1851 in Shelby County, IL. They had: John (1824), Sarah (1830), Joseph (1831), William C. (1833), Eliza Jane (1836), Louisa (1838), Henry H. (abt 1838), Nathaniel T. (1842) and Nancy (1844).
I would love to share information if you are interested.

I am a descendant of Zachariah Campbell's son Jeremiah Campbell, born 1762 in VA and died 1843 in Carter County, TN, through Jeremiah's son Jeremiah who left Carter County and went to Shelby County, Illinois. I would love to share information with any Carter County Tennessee descendants.
I've recently visited the LDS library and found that Zachariah Campbell b. 1740 d. 1821 in Carter County is sometimes confused with Zacharias Campbell b. 1740 d. 1778 who is the son of James Campbell and Mary Murdoch, of Glasgow Scotland. I found a bit of evidence that Zachariah Campbell, Sr. of Carter County emigrated from Ireland.

I've just been to the LDS library and read a book about the Zachariah Campbell who was the son of James Campbell and Mary Murdock. He is not the Zachariah Campbell born 9 October 1740. Their son was Zacharias Campbell born 1740 died 1778, married Mary Hicks and has 5 children: Mary, Isabella, Elizabeth, Levin Hicks (his only son) and Anne. They were never in Carter County, TN.

Joseph C. Mast, son of Adam and Elizabeth (Cable) Mast, was born May 10, 1808, devoted his life to farming and was a devout Christian man of the Baptist faith. He married Celia Campbell, a granddaughter of Zachariah Campbell, of Scotch-Irish ancestry, who emigrated from County Tipperary, bear Cork, Ireland, settling first in Virginia, where he married before removing to Carter county, Tennessee, where he was very prominent in early days, being a member of the county court when the county was organized July 4, 1796. He was one of the commissioners appointed to locate the county seat of justice. He was present and participated in the organization of the court of pleas and quarter sessions, July 4, 1796. Previous to his removal to Carter county he had served in the Revolutionary war. Two of his sons, Isaac and Jeremiah Campbell, were also soldiers of the Revolution and Isaac likewise participated in the War of 1812. Isaac Campbell enjoyed the well merited reputation of being a !
good citizen and just man. He married Susie Smith, daughter of Edward and Catherine Smith and they settled on the Watauga in Carter county, Tennessee. It was his daughter Celia who became the wife of Joseph C. Mast and the latter's daughter, Louise Mast, became the wife of Joseph L. Vaught. They had a family of thirteen children, William McDonald being the seventh in order of birth. Those who reached adult age were Jacob S., Sarah C., Cordelia A., Celia Ella, William M., Nannie I., John M. and Edward J. Mrs. Louise (Mast) Vaught united with the Pleasant Grove Baptist church, January 2, 1854, and [p.420] has lived a consistent Christian life. She had one sister and six brothers and two of the latter were Confederate soldiers of the Civil war. While her husband was giving the best years of his young manhood to the Federal cause Mrs. Vaught underwent many hardships. She had three small children to protect, feed and clothe. She personally carried on the farm work and she raised!
flax and wool, from which were made the garments that clothed her lit
tle family. She still lives on a part of the original tract of land secured in 1792 by John Vaught, the pioneer of Johnson county. The post office of Vaughtsville was named in honor of the family and her husband was postmaster from the time of the establishment of the post office in 1886 until his death, which occurred May 16, 1897, since which time the daughter Ella has acted as postmistress. One son, Jacob S., is a prominent farmer and stockman, interested in sheep and cattle. He is also active in religious affairs, serving as treasurer of the church to which his father and grandfather belonged. John M. was also a successful farmer and business man, but met an untimely death June 16, 1912, having been kicked by a horse. His funeral was conducted on the day he would have been forty years of age. Another son, Edward J., attended the public schools of Johnson county, also Holly Springs College and Carson and Newman College, graduating from the last named with honors in May, 1!
897. After completing a course in the Lebanon Law School he began practice in Johnson City, Tennessee, and has a large clientele. He is also United States commissioner and he was presidential elector in 1916, supporting Charles E. Hughes for the presidency.
