General Notes: Husband - William Campbell


He and his brother Arthur bought a farm near the old Campbell farm in 1822, and lived on this farm until 1831; they then sold it and bought 400 acres of land on Service Creek, four miles below the old home farm, and moved on to the same in 1832, dividing it equally between them. They both lived and died on these farms.

He lived for a time with his brother Arthur, in partnership with whom he purchased the farm of Joseph Mercer, afterwards known as the Witherow place, later owned by the Flemings (1892). This purchase was made about 1820-22. Afterward he and his brother Arthur purchased a mill in Hookstown, about 1830-31, but in 1832 they purchased 400 acres of the Rev. Henry A. Muhlenberg heirs on Service Creek, near Old Service Church. William received the northwestern half of the tract. He married, and they lived for a short time in Jackson County, Ohio, but returned and built a house a few yards from where Marshall Campbell, his brother Arthur's son, lived in 1892. On this place William Campbell lived and died.

He met with an accident which caused his death.
