General Notes: Husband - Andrew William Campbell


He was born on the family homestead, his whole life having been spent on the ancestral land. His training at the common schools was supplemented by a session at the Tuscarora Academy in 1846-47, after which, on returning home, he, in connection with his brother, Robert D., assumed the management of the farm. In 1851 the property was equally divided between the two brothers, the north portion of which was materially improved by Andrew, who, by the death of his brother, in 1857, came into full possession.
In June, 1863, on Lee's second invasion, at the call of Governor Curtin, he, with others, raised a company of mounted militia, marched to the southern portion of the state and, with many other citizen soldiers, checked the incursions of the Confederate army.
In politics he was a Whig, later a Republican, and filled local offices, and was frequently called to act as executor, administrator and trustee.
From early life he was a member of the West Kishacoquillas Presbyterian Church, and one of its trustees for more than twenty years.
