Searching for information on my 5th great grandfather, Matthew Campbell. Came
to America around 1750 with father, Archibald or Colin, DAR papers have both
listed on different documents. Lived in Washington Co. Pa. According to these
papers, Matthew was born in Argyll, Scotland. He fought in the Revolutionary
War in the 1st Penn. Regiment and Capt. Thomas Paxton"s Company of the 1st
Battalion. He later settled in Limestone, now Maysville, Ky, and helped lay
out the city of Cincinnati. He was buried in Aberdeen, Ohio, as was my 4th
G-grandfather, Evan Campbell, my 3rd G-grandmother, Amanda Campbell
McClure,and the brothers and sisters of all. I have visited Charter Oak
Cemetary and have pictures and have newspaper articles on all, but have been
able to find nothing further on Matthew's parents. If you have any info on
this or any more about the Campbell's in Maysville and Aberdeen, Oh, would
really appreciate hearing from you.
