In the book, "American Revolutionary Soldiers of Franklin County
Pennsylvania" on page 49 is an article about, I believe, Matthew Campbell.
I have page 48 with the first few words each line. But I can see:

I'm, looking for the parents of Robert Campbell b.1748 d1843, war vet,
married 1781 Martha Paxton dau. of Thomas Paxton, but not Captain Thomas
Paxton. Capt. Thomas Paxton is a cousin of my 6th greatgrandfather. Robert
and Martha also move to Somerset Twp., Washington County somewhere around
1791. I don't remember that Robert is listed in this book.

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.
