General Notes: Husband - James Campbell
He resided with his parents until after the settlement of the family in Butler County, Pennsylvania, assisting in the erection of buildings and in clearing the land. In 1833 he and his brother William established a grocery store in Pittsburgh, and at the same time opened a store at Hookstown, Beaver County, which James took charge of and continued to manage until his brother's death. His father died the following year, and James then erected a store building on the farm in Middlesex township, where he carried on merchandising for a short time and also looked after the farm. While on the farm he frequently drove a six-horse team, with a Conestoga wagon, to Philadelphia, exchanging the produce of the farm for goods to stock his store. He also occasionally bought cattle and drove them over the mountains to the eastern market; thus he laid the foundation of his subsequent fortune. In 1842 he removed to Butler, became a partner with his father-in-law the same year, and continued merchandising until 1864. He was one of the founders of the First National Bank of Butler, and its first president, and during his term of office the affairs of that institution were conducted honestly and successfully, on sound banking principles, speculation with its funds was not permitted, and the bank paid good dividends. He was repeatedly intrusted with the settlement of estates of deceased friends, duties to which he attended with the greatest fidelity. Mr. Campbell became a Presbyterian in 1828, and continued a member of that church until his death. He was for many years a trustee of the Butler church and one of its most liberal supporters. He was also actively interested in the prosperity of Witherspoon Institute, and a warm friend of the public schools.

She was born on the homestead farm in Middlesex township, Butler County, PA, and was about twelve years old when her parents removed into the borough of Butler. There she grew to womanhood, and was in her twenty-first year when married.
At the age of seventeen she united with the Presbyterian church of Butler, and died in that faith.
