General Notes: Husband - John Campbell, Sr.


The Campbell family, once largely represented in Concord and the adjoining townships of Butler County, originated in Scotland, whence members of it fled to the north of Ireland during religious wars, and finally representatives of the same family found themselves domiciled in the county of Westmoreland, Pennsylvania. John Campbell, if not a native, was certainly one of the very earliest to settle in Westmoreland County. There he raised a family of eight sons and one daughter. As soon as the central part of Butler County was thrown open to settlement (about 1796), John Campbell, Sr., and several of his older sons visited the region, and selected a large tract in the vicinity of the present town of Petrolia; also a tract of several hundred acres in the present township of Concord. A removal of all the family (to the locality first mentioned) was made soon after, and finally, in dividing the land recently acquired there, the tract in Concord Township fell, by "drawing cuts" among the brothers, to the lot of Robert, the oldest son. This tract was then considered the least valuable of all, containing as it did so much level, wet land. But time proved it to be of the greatest worth, compared with the Petrolia neighborhood, for agricultural purposes.

He moved from Polk Run, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to Butler County, in 1798.

He was killed while building his cabin, at an early day in Butler County. He was also among the early settlers on "Poke run," Westmoreland County. His house or cabin was fortified, making it a sort of block-house. At one time he defended it single handed, and drove the Indians away.
