Several years ago when I was trying to find the origin of my ancestor,
John Campbell who migrated to Hamilton County, Ohio ca. 1790, I sent for
any NARA records. I was sent pension records of Revolutionary Soldier,
John Campbell who died in Jackson Twp. Preble County, Ohio in 1847. This
was not my John Campbell, whom I later learned came from Franklin co. PA..
This other John Campbell had a large pension file. I am going to post
some of the details in case someone else on the list can identify with him.
John Campbell, b. June 1778 in Bedford Co. Virginia. Served as a
volunteer 3mo. With Cap. R. Adams company, Colonel Lynchs Virginia Reg.
He volunteered Feb. 1781 with Capt. James Dicksons company , Colonel
Williams Virginia Reg. Aug. 1781, with Capt Beards Company, Colonel
Beards Co. . Cp;pme; Triggs Virginia Reg.
He moved from Bedford Co. Virginia to Knox Co. Tenn.. He married Sarah
Vance in Jefferson Co. Ten. Dec. 28, 1796. They moved to Jackson Twp.
Preble Co. Ohio where he died May 14, 1846 or 1847. His pension was
executed Sept. 21, 1832.
