General Notes: Husband - Robert Campbell


He was born in Bonny Berne, Scotland, about 1801, and learned the trade of a baker, an occupation which he followed while he lived in Scotland. About 1848 or 1849 he came to the United States and bought a farm near Kittanning, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where he settled down to farming as a life occupation and continued until the time of his death. He was buried on the farm on which he had lived so long. In politics he was a strong Democrat, and he was a member of the Methodist church. [HWC 1906 III, 603]

He emigrated to America while still a young man, making his home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He became a pilot on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in the early days of steamboat navigation on those two great inland waterways, and had many interesting and exciting experiences. Following this calling until he was able to accumulate sufficient money, he bought a farm of one hundred acres near Kittanning, in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and there he passed the remainder of his life devoted to agricultural pursuits and the improvement of his property. In politics he was a Democrat, and in his religious convictions clung to the faith of his fathers, being a member of the Lutheran [sic] church. [GPHAV, 830]
