I am currently stuck at *James Campbell* born about 1799. I have to wonder
if he wasn't born in Ireland? I do not have a name for his wife.
1. One son I know of (my line) is also *James Campbell*. He was born about
1815 in Cappagh, Tyrone, Ireland. He married *Isabella Scott* Nov. 13, 1849.
"Donagheady First Presbyterian Church; Groom's Name: James Campbell Groom's
Birth Date: Groom's Birthplace: Groom's Age: Bride's Name: Isabella
Scott Bride's Birth Date: 1830 Bride's Birthplace: Bride's Age: 19
Marriage Date: 13 Nov 1849" From this on
Familysearch.com, I was able to
find the names of both fathers and Isabella's age.
2. I have *James* and I*sabella* with 6 children.
- *Robert Mark Campbell *(my line) b July 20, 1851 in Strabane, Tyrone
and baptized at Donagheady Church of Ireland. In 1866 he was at the 2nd
Donagheady Presbyterian Church.
- *Ellen Jane Campbell* b 1854
- *John Campbell *b 1857
- *William Campbell* b 1862
- *James Campbell* b 1865
- *Isabella Campbell* b 1870
3. *Robert Mark Campbell* married *Mary Hampton* "Groom's Name: Robert
Campbell Groom's Birth Date: 1846 Groom's Birthplace: Groom's Age: 22
Bride's Name: Mary *Hempton* Bride's Birth Date: 1847 Bride's Birthplace:
Bride's Age: 21 Marriage Date: 13 Aug 1868 Marriage Place: Cappagh,
Tyrone, Ireland" I have no idea where Mary Hampton came from as I cannot
find but one *Hampton* in all my searches. The name Hampton is miss-spelled
in the records or transcript? "Hamilton" is a common surname, could they be
interchanged?
Aug, 8, 1969 *Robert M Campbell* is living in Killynaught, Tyrone,
Ireland.
Two sons were born in Ireland to Robert & Mary
- John James b 1869
- Robert b 1871
Robert & Mary with their 2 sons immigrated through Castle Garden, NY Jan 15,
1873. They settled in Philadelphia, PA and had 6 more children.
- Lillian Morgan b 1876
- Mary b 1876
- *Rebecca Jane* (my line) b 1878 d. 1963
- Charles H. b 1881
- Thomas J. b 1882
- William b 1886
*Rebecca Jane Campbell *married *Thomas William McCord.* Thomas was born in
Moneymore, Londonderry, Ireland Dec 14, 1874. He emmigrated through NY Nov
14, 1893. Rebecca and Thomas married June 5, 1903 in New Castle Delaware.
They too settled in Philadelphia, PA. They had two children in Phila., *Lillian
(no middle name) *b 1902 and *Thomas William* b 1906 and sadly died in 1906.
Thomas died in 1908 so my grandmother, Lillian never knew her father. There
was nobody to ask about any of the Irish ancestors. We have no customs.
If anyone can help me get the spouse of the James from the 1700's or already
has part of my tree in theirs, I would be very appreciative of any info.
Thank you so much. Lois
