General Notes: Husband - Capt. James Campbell

---

He was a refugee from Scotland after the Stuart Rebellion of 1745, was a captain of horse belonging to the house of Argyle. Joining the fortunes of the Pretender, his lot was cast with him, and after many escapes, succeeded in making his way to America. He settled among the Indians at the spring on the turnpike road leading to Bedford, near Campbelltown, erected the same stone house upon the rocks above the spring. (This was about the year 1750, the date of the deed from Thomas Penn and Richard Penn to James Campbell.) [HFC 1887, 901]

He was born in Scotland and was a captain of horse, of the house of Argyle, in the Rebellion of 1745. After the failure of the fortunes of the Pretender, he became a refugee and finally made his escape to America. He settled at the spring on the turnpike near St. Thomas, where he built a stone house still standing in the early twentieth century on the rocks above the spring. This was about 1750, the date of his deed from the Proprietaries
