Subject: Re: [Campbell] anyone related to Campbell from Indian co., Pa.
My Campbell’s are from the Brush Valley area of Indian County PA and
I
have
done a fair amount of research in this area.
The earliest record of William Campbell (c1773-1863) is his arrival in
Indiana Co., PA around 1802 or 1803. He married Martha McCormick around
1804
and had 10 children. Most of William’s descendants remained in
Pennsylvania. Other surnames associated with this line are: BRACKEN,
WAKEFIELD,
FINDLEY, and MILLER. It is speculated that William Campbell’s ancestors
may
have come from the Franklin County, PA where a number of related families
settled or New Jersey where the Brackens where known to have come from
It is suspected that he may have been the brother of Andrew Campbell who
married Jane (UNK),
One of the problems in searching this area, was that parts of Indiana
County were originally part of Westmoreland County until Indiana Co. was
formed
in 1802.
