General Notes: Husband - Alexander Campbell

---

While in Ireland he became a student of theology, concluding his education at Glasgow, Scotland. He and his father were eminent ministers of the Seceder Church. In 1809 he joined his father in America. In the meantime they both became dissatisfied with the divided state of Christendom, and proposed a remedy by inviting all Christians to unite with them "on the Bible and the Bible alone." And thus Thomas and Alexander Campbell inaugurated the "Reformation of the Nineteenth Century," forming churches on this basis, known as "Churches of Christ," or "Disciples," which quickly attained high standing among the religionists of the world, and before the end of the ninteenth century numbered 1,000,000 members in the United States. Alexander Campbell also founded Bethany College, Bethany, West Virginia, of which he was president until his death.
