Hello.
I am trying to find the parents of John Campbell, who was born in 1798 (census
records state he was born in Maryland or Virginia), moved to Ross Co., OH,
married Mary Bradford there in 1826, rasied a family in Highland Co., OH,
until about 1857 then moved to Mercer Co., OH, where he died in 1884.
Accounts of John Campbell's ancestry and early family life are varied and
do not paint a clear picture. Thomas Spooner, in his book RECORDS OF
WILLIAM SPOONER OF PLYMOUTH, MA, states that Mary Sampson Bradford married
"John Campbell, s. [son] of Enoch and Jane Campbell."
A family member remembers a story that John Campbell (most likely the
father of the John Campbell mentioned above) was from Kingussie [Iverness],
Scotland, and his wife, Maggie MacGlade was from Buckie, Scotland. These
villages are in the Spey Valley.
John and Mary Campbell's children include:
