General Notes: Husband - Thomas Campbell


He and his wife were married in Milton, Pennsylvania, where they resided many years. In early life he followed the shoemaker's trade, but after his removal to Union County he located on a farm, which he operated, and also freighted by team to and from Philadelphia and Washington. In 1830 he came to Clearfield County, locating on the river above McGee's Mills, where he bought land and improved a farm. His first home there was a rude log cabin with no floor or ceiling; but as time passed this was replaced by a comfortable dwelling, and the land was brought under a high state of cultivation. In politics he was a Democrat. His first wife was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the second of the Presbyterian Church.
