General Notes: Husband - John Campbell
He farmed the old family homestead, part of which was still in woodland. He and his wife commenced house-keeping in a log house, but after his father's death moved into the old stone mansion. A new barn was built in 1830, and it is notable that it was the first barn raised in the valley without the usual accompaniment of a liberal supply of whiskey for all hands. Mr. Campbell had become a teetotaler some time before, and there was considerable agitation on the subject started by Lyman Beecher's tract on Intemperance, but there were doubts as to whether the neighbors would consent to help without the customary treating; and there was some "growling."
The mother and youngest daughter, Rachel, who never married, were left a home in the old stone mansion, but after the death of Oliver Campbell's wife they went to live with him about a mile west of the old homestead, taking care of his two children. Later they lived in a small house near Oliver's. [HAC 1914, 389]
One of his sons, Judge James Campbell, wrote of him: "My father, John Campbell, was a profound lover of nature, a thoughtful, sensible man, and a great reader, particularly of history. He had a good memory, a sound judgment, and was sincere and firm in his convictions, with a supreme contempt for a mean act."
General Notes: Wife - Rachel Oliver
One of her sons, Judge James Campbell, wrote of her: "Our mother was a tall, rather slender woman, possessed of a good mind, and she was a fluent talker, a good reader and a ready letter writer. She was a singer and had a store of both hymns and old Scotch songs, and we soon learned to sing everything we heard."
