There is a John Campbell, age 24, single, living with the family of Harvy &
Mary Jolly in Hamlet, Starke County, Indiana in the 1880 census. He is
listed as being born in Ohio, as are his parents; his occupation is given as
"works on RR".
Their marriage does not appear in the index to Indiana Marriages (1845-1920)
which is at
ancestry.com, so I'm wondering if you have a copy of their
marriage registration and whether it gives his parents' names, and where
they might have married.
The 1900 Starke County Census gives this information:
Washington Township:
Parish, George, Head, b. Sept. 1862, age 28, married, 15 years, b. Ohio,
parental birth info not given, farmer
Parish, Sarah E., Wife, b. May 1863, age 37, married, 15 years, 7 children
born, 6 children living, b. Indiana, father b. PA., mother b. Indiana
Parish, Mary, Daughter, b. April 1884, age 16, single, b. Ohio, father b.
Ohio, mother b. Indiana
Parish, Della, Son, b. March 1886, age 14, single, b. Indiana, father b.
Ohio, mother b. Indiana
Parish, Souie, Son, b. Feb. 1889, age 11, single, b. Indiana
Parish, Dessie, Daugther, b. March 1891, age 9, single, b. Indiana
Parish, Leo, Son, b. Jan. 1893, age 7, single, b. Indiana
Based on the above info, you might find John Campbell's death info in Ohio;
also the one in the 1880 Starke County Census is probably the right one,
given the Ohio birth info.
In 1910, they have moved to King Street, German Township, St. Joseph County:
Parish, George W., Head, age 50, married twice, 26 years this marriage, b.
Indiana, father b. Ireland, mother b. Ohio, own income
Parish, Sarah E., Wife, age 45, married twice, 26 years this marriage, 7
children born, 5 children living, b. Indiana, father b. PA, mother b.
Indiana
Parish, Leo, Son, age 18, single, b. Indiana
Platts, Ira C., Grandson, age 5, single, b. Indiana
In 1920, the family is living on Silver Trail, in Lincoln Township, St.
Joseph County, Indiana:
Pearish, George W., Head, age 59, married, b. Ohio, parents b. Ohio, farmer
Pearish, Elner S., Wife, age 56, married, b. Indiana, father b. PA, mother
b. Indiana
Platzos, Era E., Grandson, age 15, single, b. Indiana, parents b. Indiana
Kash, Everst, Grandson, age 14, single, b. Indiana, father b. Indiana,
mother b Ohio
Hope this gives you some new info. I would try and find the marriage
registration and death registrations which may give you some clues.

Subject: [CAMPBELL] John L. Campbell Indiana
Looking for information on JOHN L. CAMPBELL. He married SARAH
"ELLA"
BALDWIN in 1880 in Starke County, Indiana. I know nothing about
John except
that he must've been alive still in 1885. Ella was born in 1863 in Indiana.
She died in 1921. They had 2 daughters: EVA MAE (1883) & MARY E.(1885).
Eva Mae was my great grandmother. I would love to find any info on John. I
know
there are several John Campbells out there but I have been unable to
find mine. Ella remarried a PEARISH. I have found info on her Baldwin line.
