Owen,
You've probably already seen this, but in case you haven't, here is some
information on Mary Campbell and Samuel Elliott found on Rootsweb.

In the notes:
Note: I am sending this message to some of the Elliott researchers that I have
corresponded with in the past.
On a trip to Pennsylvania this past May, I picked up several items
that may or may not lead to the connection with the family of Mary
Campbell.
Descendants of Captain Samuel Elliott have tried to find
the connection with a Campbell family for many years. I found several
information sources which caused me to revisit this subject.
First is a letter found in the Lancaster Historical Library. It was
written in 1940 by Opal Hunt Bowman (born about 1870). Opal was the
daughter of Margaret Elliott and the granddaughter of Alexander Campbell
Elliott. Part
of the letter states the following:
"At the close
of the war he went to Allentown & married my great grandmother Mary
(Argyle) Campbell - both having come from Campbellstown Scotland &
settled County Antrim, Ireland - then came with their parents to the
U.S."
A second piece of information is the Rev. War record of a
Lieut. Samuel Elliot serving in Northampton County militia, 5th
Battalion, 6th Company in the 1777 to 1780 time period. He served under
Captain Patrick Campbell. This
Samuel Elliot does not seem to appear in Northampton County militia before 1777 or after
1780.
It
is assumed that Samuel Elliott & Mary Campbell married in about
1777-8, based on the birth date of son, Cornelius (9-27-1779). Samuel
Elliott appears in the Caernarvon, Lancaster, PA tax rolls for most
years between 1772 and
1787, except the year of 1777.
Is it
possible that he spent a year or two in Northampton County and served
with that militia, and at that time married Mary Campbell?
Was the Captain Patrick Campbell a relative of Mary (father, brother, uncle)?
Is there other information to verify that our Elliott family originated in Campbellstown,
Scotland?
Any
significance to the reference to Argyle for Mary Campbell? Believe that
was the county in Scotland where Campbellstown is located.
Is there any information on a Campbell family with a Patrick as well as an Alexander?
I would appreciate any thoughts on this information.

Owen - any idea where in PA? There are several listing PA Campbell relatives, but they are
all over the map.

I feel the need to ask again. My gggggrandmother, Mary Campbell b. circa
1758 , presumably in Pennsylvania married Samuel Elliott before moving to
Newark Ohio around 1800, one of the first families in Newark. I have not
yet been able to connect Mary to her parents. I was hoping to see if
someone who is part of the Campbell DNA project potentially has a Mary and
marriage to Samuel Elliott from which I could learn her parents.

Hi Betty,
I have saved your email and finally have time to reply. My husband is
descended from a John Campbell born in 1833 somewhere in New York state
(probably the Finger Lakes area or just east of there). The yDNA is in group
30 like yours and it's #6473. We have corresponded with a descendant showing
a close match with my husband - #204798 Joel Campbell. The tree that they
have shows Joel's ancestors arriving in Perth Amboy, NJ in 1685 or so. We
just have to find the link to let us go back that far! Our John was in Ohio
in 1850 but not living with his parents so I have not been able to get back
further than that.

Subject: [Campbell] Our Campbell DNA Results are Back
Our Missouri/Nevada Campbell DNA results are back, and Project Admin Kevin
Campbell says we have been put in Campbell Group 30, the "core" Campbell
group. I would like to correspond with other Campbells to see if we can
find the link.
