Thanks for posting these Campbells! Perhaps they are part of my husband's
line and, in fact, my husband's 2x gt grandfather might have been born in
Orange Co, NY. Other experts in this line say this: Robert Campbell was
imprisoned in Canongate (Glasgow) with his brothers and banished on the ship
"Henry and Francis" to Perth Amboy, NJ in 1685. This Robert was from
Kildalvan (Kildalven or Kildalvane) in Cowal (Argyll). He had sons and we
think Samuel was one of them.
Samuel's 8 sons were born in what is today South Orange, NJ (close to
Newark). At about 55 years of age he moved from NJ to Ulster County, NY
with most of his sons and their families. During the 1755 - 1800 period his
progeny are 90% of the Campbells in Ulster County (1790 and 1800 Census).
His will of 1773 is the major written record of his existence. He died in
Montgomery, Ulster County (now Orange County), NY. Many of his 8 sons moved
out and settled across the U.S.
The yDNA says that my husband is descended from one of these sons of Samuel
or one of Robert's sons. Now I just have to do some more research to find
out which one!
