General Notes: Husband - John Campbell


"There is reason to believe that the family of John Campbell emigrated direct from Scotland to America, not by way of Ireland, a generation earlier than Robert Campbell, who married John Campbell's sister Jane. It is believed that they first settled in Cecil County, Maryland, and afterwards moved to Chester County, Pennsylvania, where they were living when Robert and Jane Campbell were married. John Campbell seems always to have lived near his sister Jane and her husband, and removed with them to Delaware, where they were living in 1773, when they purchased the tract of 500 acres in Kishacoquillas Valley." John Campbell removed with his family, in company with the family of Robert Campbell, to Kishacoquillas valley in the spring of 1774, and on Aug. 22 and 23, 1894, the third of the family reunions was held at the old Campbell homestead there to celebrate the one hundred and twentieth anniversary of their arrival. To the interest and efforts of the late Judge James Campbell, of Clarion, Pennsylvania, who devoted much time to gathering family history in his later years, the Campbells are largely indebted for genealogical records and historical chronicles.
