General Notes: Husband - Joseph Campbell

---

Being quite young when his father died, he was adopted by an uncle, who cared for him until he reached manhood, and then, after paying a visit to his mother, whom he had not seen since he was first separated from her, he came to America. He first took up his residence in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, securing a position in a mercantile house. Af­terward he worked on the Pennsylvania canal, earning and saving the money, $202.06, with which he purchased in 1834 100 acres of land in Valley (later Reyburn) township, Arm­strong County, upon which not a tree had been cut. The location was about a mile east of the mouth of Cowanshannock creek. Mr. Camp­bell converted this into a fine farm, upon which he lived after settling there until his death.
He was a member of the Methodist Church, and was for years a class leader; his wife was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
