369	Robert Campbell was one of the earliest members of the Derry church. In its graveyard is a stone to John Campbell, d. 20th February, 1734, aged seventy-nine. He is supposed to have come over from Ireland in 1726, and is thought to have removed to Shippensburg; and that Joseph and William Campbell, who bought lots Nos. 77 and 116 there, were his brothers; and two other brothers, Robert and Dugal, removed to Orange County, Va.; and that of his children, Alexander and James were warrantees for two hundred and three hundred acres in 1733-37 in Derry Township, and Patrick, Robert, and David went to St. Mark's Parish Orange County, Va., 1732-41, and subsequently Patrick settled in Augusta County, Va. The information, on traditions concerning the connection of the Virginia Campbells with those of early Pennsylvania is vague. However, there is a sheriff's writ, dated 19th November, 1746, for the arrest, for a debt of £146, of “Andrew Campbell, late of your [Lancaster] County, yeoman, otherwise called Andrew Campbell of Orange County, in the Colony of Virginia, yeoman;” and another writ, dated 5th November, 1758, to arrest John Campbell, late of Lancaster County, yeoman, to answer Redman Conyngham, administrator of the estate of John Henderson, deceased; and another, 4th May, 1759, to arrest James Campbell, yeoman, late of Lancaster County, for a debt. As these debtors departed for Virginia, these writs may be of genealogical use. source: The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 28.

396	SKETCH OF CAPTAIN DAVID CAMPBELL. BY MARGARET CAMPBELL PILCHER. Captain David Campbell's great grandfather, Alexander Campbell, lived in Argyleshire, Scotland; the name of his wife is unknown. He had a son, William Campbell, who married Mary Byars. They went from Scotland to Ireland during the religious persecutions in that country, hoping to find a place where they could worship God in their chosen way, but were disappointed and discontented in Ireland, and finally decided to emigrate to the English colonies in America. They settled in Virginia. Others of the same name and clan, and relations, settled first in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, remained some years and then removed to Augusta County, Virginia, about the year 1730. William Campbell and his wife, Mary Byars, had seven children. The eldest, David Campbell, married Jane Conyngham, a granddaughter of Colonel Patrick Conyngham, whose family lived in Ireland on the river Boyne. The head of the house was Sir Albert Conyngham. Colonel Patrick Conyngham commanded a regiment at the battle of Boyne, 1690. David and Jane Conyngham Campbell had four children. William married Mary Ellison, and was prominent in the Indian and Revolutionary wars. His two brothers-in-law, Captain William Ellison, who married Mary Campbell, and Major John Morrison, who married Martha Campbell, were also patriotic defenders of their liberty in the same war. David, the subject of this sketch, was the youngest child. He was born in Augusta County, Virginia, August, 1753. Three months previous to his birth his father died, and his mother died when he was but six years of age. His brother William, being the eldest, according to the old English common law which was in force at that time, inherited the whole of his father's property, which consisted entirely of landed estates and slaves, so young David was forced to depend upon his own resources very early in life, and bravely he solved the problem of making his living. He had accumulated some means by the time he was twenty years of age, which he invested in a small farm in Washington County, Virginia, to which he moved. This was near Abingdon. Soon after settling on his farm he met his cousin, Margaret Campbell (daughter of his mother's half sister, Mary Hamilton, and David Campbell, a distant relation). They became attached to one another and were married in 1774, she being about 21 years of age at the time of her marriage. Her father, David Campbell, was an officer in the Virginia army in 1759, when his young son, Arthur, was taken prisoner by the Indians and escaped after three years captivity in Canada. (See old family manuscripts and also Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. VII, No. 2, October, 1899.) She had several brothers who were distinguished in the war of 1776, Margaret Campbell was keeping house at the “Royal Oak,” the family seat of her two brothers, Colonel John and Colonel Arthur Campbell, at the time of her marriage. The two young people settled upon their farm near Abingdon, Virginia. While living at this place David Campbell participated in a number of engagements against the Indians, one in October, 1774, the battle of Point Pleasant. He was in the company of his brother-in-law, Captain John Campbell, when they were in the decisive battle of Long Island Flats, July, 1776, and in a number of other engagements against the Tories and Indians. He was a captain in the Colonial and Continental armies, was at the celebrated battle of Kings Mountain, with eight others of his name – brothers and cousins. About the year 1782 David Campbell, with his family, moved from Abingdon, Virginia, to Washington County, East Tennessee, and remained there only one year. He then went to the “Strawberry Plains” tract of land, which he then owned. He had a tract of land granted him for his services during the Revolution of 1776, situated in Green County, East Tennessee. He lived upon this farm about four years, then moved to “Grassy Valley,” in Knox County, about fifteen miles from Knoxville, about the year 1785, and made the first settlement there. He built a station at this place, which was completed March 7, 1787, and others coming and settling near assisted in making the station a stronghold against the hostile Indians in the vicinity. It became known all over the country as “Campbell Station,” was made a post office later, and is called by that name to the present day. At the time of Captain Campbell's settlement at the “Station” the Indians were very fierce and warlike all over that section of the country, and the white settlers were constantly being murdered and driven from their homes. Every station in that neighborhood was taken and destroyed except Campbell's. A little act of kindness and clemency shown by Captain Campbell to some Indian women and children soon after he settled in East Tennessee was never forgotten by them, and this accounted for his station never being attacked, except once, by a strolling band of Indians. It indeed seems strange that the depraved savage, so bloodthirsty and beastlike in their revengeful nature, should possess feelings of such gratitude; yet it is true, as we see from the following incident: Captain Campbell on one occasion led a company from the fort on an expedition against some Indians who had been committing depredations upon the settlers and their stock. Arriving at one of their towns they found the warriors all absent upon some raid – none but women and children left in the village. A majority of the men wished to slaughter them and burn the village, but their commander, Captain Campbell, would not permit such an act of cruelty to be perpetrated upon the helpless community, and sternly ordered the men not to harm one of them upon peril of their own lives. One intractable fellow, seeing a girl near him – Lucy Fields, the daughter of a chief – raised his gun to shoot her, when Captain Campbell knocked his piece up just in time to save her life. At this the women all crowded around him imploring his protection, which he kindly gave, marching his men off without harming them. Before these tribes left Tennessee for homes given them in Western Arkansas by the government this girl, Lucy Fields, and her mother went to Campbell's Station and gave a beautiful fan made of eagle feathers and beads, and other pieces of their handiwork to the wife and daughter of their protector. The writer has often in her childhood seen the fan, which was for a long time preserved as an heirloom in the family. It was made of the tail feathers of a large eagle, the lower part being embroidered with many colored beads upon some substance that looked like birch bark. It also had a peculiar looking cord and tassel on the handle. Again, to show that this act of kindness was never forgotten by the Indians; Fields and McIntosh were the chiefs of the tribes saved, and long years afterward General John Campbell, the son of Captain David Campbell, was appointed by the government as agent to the Indians in western Kansas. There he met the descendants of these two chiefs, and they remembered and spoke to him of his father's act with much feeling and gratitude. After this expedition it is said that the warriors in all their councils determined that Campbell's Station should be the very last fort taken. They never attacked it. Peace was made and they were ever afterward friendly. This Station was for many years a frontier fort, and nearer than any other to the Cherokee tribe of Indians; and it was only by the most vigilant conduct, tact and kindness that Captain Campbell maintained and defended his fort from the attacks of hostile Indians. He was a participator in the Franklin government, and after the state was admitted to the Union as Tennessee he was a member of the legislature, assisting in enacting the first laws for the state government. He was afterward elector for President and Vice President of the United States. He was a most patriotic, public spirited, estimable and honorable man, greatly honored by the whole community. During his absence with all the able bodied men on an expedition against the Indians, a strolling band of savages attacked the fort, but they were repelled by the bravery of his wife, Margaret Campbell. She armed all the old men and boys, the women also helping. Their defense was so fierce that the Indians concluded the fort was full of white men warriors, so they retired. On July 29, 1799, David Campbell lost his beloved wife, Margaret Campbell, by whom he had eight children, four dying in early youth, four living to be married, but only one leaving descendants. Jane, the eldest, married Colonel Wright, of the United States army. Mary married her cousin, David Campbell, who was afterwards governor of Virginia. John, his eldest son, entered the regular army of the United States in 1795, and continued in it till the close of the War of 1812. He was lieutenant colonel in the northern army, was at the battles of Plattsburg, Fort George and other engagements on the northern line. He was a worthy man and a brave soldier. He left no descendants. The youngest son, David, born March 4, 1781, was a most estimable man and commanded the respect of all who knew him. He married Catharine Bowen, a daughter of Captain William Bowen (a brave soldier of the Revolution) and a granddaughter of General William Russell, who was also a statesman and patriot in those “times that tried men's souls.” This David Campbell and his wife, Catharine Bowen, were the parents of William B. Campbell, who was a captain in the Florida war, was in Congress six years, colonel of 1st Tennessee regiment in the Mexican war, judge and governor of Tennessee. In 1804 Captain David Campbell, the subject of this sketch, married a second time. By this marriage he had three children, but only one lived to maturity – Margaret Lavinia Campbell, a most noble, lovely Christian woman, and one of great intellectual attainments. She married the Rev. John Kelly. Captain Campbell left Campbell's Station in 1823, went to Wilson County, Tenn., near Lebanon, and settled on a farm of 600 acres, which is still owned by one of his descendants. The daughter of Captain David Campbell, in writing of her father, says “He was a man of stern, excitable temperament, with strong affections.” I only knew him after the public spirit of buoyant youth had calmed into the sober, resolute determination of generous patriotism, when the restless ambition, strengthened by the rough life of an orphan boy, had drawn him into many a struggle with which he bravely contended, until his soul felt the animation of success, and upright principles were wrought in him destined to live forever. His country's welfare was such a fixture in his character that no changes, no troubles or conflicting circumstances prevented his manifesting an ever active interest in its prosperity. The same propensity that made him give his services to his country during the Revolutionary War in defense of liberty, and the hardihood to undertake the life in a frontier fort with his little family for eight years, only changed its course when the many demands of a newly settled country in behalf of its civilization required his means and assistance in the erection of many log school houses, as well as bearing the greater part of the expense for teachers, not only for the advantage of his own children, but for those of his neighbors who were unable to contribute to these pioneer schools. At no time in his history did I ever know him indifferent to the character of the man who was a candidate for office, whether the office was high or low; he considered it connected with the interest of his country and therefore a matter of deep concern to him. He felt that to be a right, which he ever exercised and kept in full force until he was near fourscore years of age. With pleasure and profit do I often revert to his uncomplaining disposition. With a firm tread he walked through the rough scenes of life, with contentment and cheerfulness, and admonished his children against fretfulness and discontent, while with a woman's tenderness he would ever encourage them in a course of usefulness for themselves and others. His influence and fond but worthy ambition was deeply felt by his children throughout their lives. I only knew him after the asperity of a high, strong nature was softened by Christian influence. The fervent spirit of the true Christian never died in this patriotic man. The love of the land of his birth, for which he had fought in two wars and enjoyed a probationary existence, did not prevent his warm affections from moving toward that better country. He was a man of truly devout religious feeling, possessed great integrity of character, was hospitable, social and kind to all who needed his aid in any way. He was slender, erect, square shouldered, with black hair and eyes, was five feet ten inches in height, a man of undaunted bravery and courage under all circumstances. He lived on a farm seven miles from Lebanon, Tenn., until his death, which occurred August 18, 1832, aged 79 years. He was buried in the village grave yard at Leeville, Tenn., near Lebanon. A monument is over his grave, erected by his family. source: Pilcher, Margaret Campbell.

Robert Campbell was one of the earliest members of the Derry church. In its graveyard is a stone to John Campbell, d. 20th February, 1734, aged seventy-nine. He is supposed to have come over from Ireland in 1726, and is thought to have removed to Shippensburg; and that Joseph and William Campbell, who bought lots Nos. 77 and 116 there, were his brothers; and two other brothers, Robert and Dugal, removed to Orange County, Va.; and that of his children, Alexander and James were warrantees for two hundred and three hundred acres in 1733-37 in Derry Township, and Patrick, Robert, and David went to St. Mark's Parish Orange County, Va., 1732-41, and subsequently Patrick settled in Augusta County, Va. The information, on traditions concerning the connection of the Virginia Campbells with those of early Pennsylvania is vague. However, there is a sheriff's writ, dated 19th November, 1746, for the arrest, for a debt of £146, of “Andrew Campbell, late of your [Lancaster] County, yeoman, otherwise called Andrew Campbell of Orange County, in the Colony of Virginia, yeoman;” and another writ, dated 5th November, 1758, to arrest John Campbell, late of Lancaster County, yeoman, to answer Redman Conyngham, administrator of the estate of John Henderson, deceased; and another, 4th May, 1759, to arrest James Campbell, yeoman, late of Lancaster County, for a debt. As these debtors departed for Virginia, these writs may be of genealogical use.

SKETCH OF CAPTAIN DAVID CAMPBELL.

BY MARGARET CAMPBELL PILCHER.

Captain David Campbell's great grandfather, Alexander Campbell, lived in Argyleshire, Scotland; the name of his wife is unknown. He had a son, William Campbell, who married Mary Byars. They went from Scotland to Ireland during the religious persecutions in that country, hoping to find a place where they could worship God in their chosen way, but were disappointed and discontented in Ireland, and finally decided to emigrate to the English colonies in America. They settled in Virginia. Others of the same name and clan, and relations, settled first in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, remained some years and then removed to Augusta County, Virginia, about the year 1730.

William Campbell and his wife, Mary Byars, had seven children. The eldest, David Campbell, married Jane Conyngham, a granddaughter of Colonel Patrick Conyngham, whose family lived in Ireland on the river Boyne. The head of the house was Sir Albert Conyngham. Colonel Patrick Conyngham commanded a regiment at the battle of Boyne, 1690.

David and Jane Conyngham Campbell had four children. William married Mary Ellison, and was prominent in the Indian and Revolutionary wars. His two brothers-in-law, Captain William Ellison, who married Mary Campbell, and Major John Morrison, who married Martha Campbell, were also patriotic defenders of their liberty in the same war.

David, the subject of this sketch, was the youngest child. He was born in Augusta County, Virginia, August, 1753. Three months previous to his birth his father died, and his mother died when he was but six years of age.

His brother William, being the eldest, according to the old English common law which was in force at that time, inherited the whole of his father's property, which consisted entirely of landed estates and slaves, so young David was forced to depend upon his own resources very early in life, and bravely he solved the problem of making his living. He had accumulated some means by the time he was twenty years of age, which he invested in a small farm in Washington County, Virginia, to which he moved. This was near Abingdon. Soon after settling on his farm he met his cousin, Margaret Campbell (daughter of his mother's half sister, Mary Hamilton, and David Campbell, a distant relation). They became attached to one another and were married in 1774, she being about 21 years of age at the time of her marriage.

Her father, David Campbell, was an officer in the Virginia army in 1759, when his young son, Arthur, was taken prisoner by the Indians and escaped after three years captivity in Canada. (See old family manuscripts and also Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. VII, No. 2, October, 1899.) She had several brothers who were distinguished in the war of 1776, Margaret Campbell was keeping house at the “Royal Oak,” the family seat of her two brothers, Colonel John and Colonel Arthur Campbell, at the time of her marriage. The two young people settled upon their farm near Abingdon, Virginia. While living at this place David Campbell participated in a number of engagements against the Indians, one in October, 1774, the battle of Point Pleasant. He was in the company of his brother-in-law, Captain John Campbell, when they were in the decisive battle of Long Island Flats, July, 1776, and in a number of other engagements against the Tories and Indians. He was a captain in the Colonial and Continental armies, was at the celebrated battle of Kings Mountain, with eight others of his name – brothers and cousins. About the year 1782 David Campbell, with his family, moved from Abingdon, Virginia, to Washington County, East Tennessee, and remained there only one year. He then went to the “Strawberry Plains” tract of land, which he then owned.

He had a tract of land granted him for his services during the Revolution of 1776, situated in Green County, East Tennessee. He lived upon this farm about four years, then moved to “Grassy Valley,” in Knox County, about fifteen miles from Knoxville, about the year 1785, and made the first settlement there. He built a station at this place, which was completed March 7, 1787, and others coming and settling near assisted in making the station a stronghold against the hostile Indians in the vicinity. It became known all over the country as “Campbell Station,” was made a post office later, and is called by that name to the present day.

At the time of Captain Campbell's settlement at the “Station” the Indians were very fierce and warlike all over that section of the country, and the white settlers were constantly being murdered and driven from their homes. Every station in that neighborhood was taken and destroyed except Campbell's.

A little act of kindness and clemency shown by Captain Campbell to some Indian women and children soon after he settled in East Tennessee was never forgotten by them, and this accounted for his station never being attacked, except once, by a strolling band of Indians. It indeed seems strange that the depraved savage, so bloodthirsty and beastlike in their revengeful nature, should possess feelings of such gratitude; yet it is true, as we see from the following incident:

Captain Campbell on one occasion led a company from the fort on an expedition against some Indians who had been committing depredations upon the settlers and their stock. Arriving at one of their towns they found the warriors all absent upon some raid – none but women and children left in the village. A majority of the men wished to slaughter them and burn the village, but their commander, Captain Campbell, would not permit such an act of cruelty to be perpetrated upon the helpless community, and sternly ordered the men not to harm one of them upon peril of their own lives. One intractable fellow, seeing a girl near him – Lucy Fields, the daughter of a chief – raised his gun to shoot her, when Captain Campbell knocked his piece up just in time to save her life. At this the women all crowded around him imploring his protection, which he kindly gave, marching his men off without harming them. Before these tribes left Tennessee for homes given them in Western Arkansas by the government this girl, Lucy Fields, and her mother went to Campbell's Station and gave a beautiful fan made of eagle feathers and beads, and other pieces of their handiwork to the wife and daughter of their protector. The writer has often in her childhood seen the fan, which was for a long time preserved as an heirloom in the family. It was made of the tail feathers of a large eagle, the lower part being embroidered with many colored beads upon some substance that looked like birch bark. It also had a peculiar looking cord and tassel on the handle.

Again, to show that this act of kindness was never forgotten by the Indians; Fields and McIntosh were the chiefs of the tribes saved, and long years afterward General John Campbell, the son of Captain David Campbell, was appointed by the government as agent to the Indians in western Kansas. There he met the descendants of these two chiefs, and they remembered and spoke to him of his father's act with much feeling and gratitude.

After this expedition it is said that the warriors in all their councils determined that Campbell's Station should be the very last fort taken. They never attacked it. Peace was made and they were ever afterward friendly. This Station was for many years a frontier fort, and nearer than any other to the Cherokee tribe of Indians; and it was only by the most vigilant conduct, tact and kindness that Captain Campbell maintained and defended his fort from the attacks of hostile Indians. He was a participator in the Franklin government, and after the state was admitted to the Union as Tennessee he was a member of the legislature, assisting in enacting the first laws for the state government. He was afterward elector for President and Vice President of the United States. He was a most patriotic, public spirited, estimable and honorable man, greatly honored by the whole community. During his absence with all the able bodied men on an expedition against the Indians, a strolling band of savages attacked the fort, but they were repelled by the bravery of his wife, Margaret Campbell. She armed all the old men and boys, the women also helping. Their defense was so fierce that the Indians concluded the fort was full of white men warriors, so they retired.

On July 29, 1799, David Campbell lost his beloved wife, Margaret Campbell, by whom he had eight children, four dying in early youth, four living to be married, but only one leaving descendants. Jane, the eldest, married Colonel Wright, of the United States army. Mary married her cousin, David Campbell, who was afterwards governor of Virginia. John, his eldest son, entered the regular army of the United States in 1795, and continued in it till the close of the War of 1812. He was lieutenant colonel in the northern army, was at the battles of Plattsburg, Fort George and other engagements on the northern line. He was a worthy man and a brave soldier. He left no descendants. The youngest son, David, born March 4, 1781, was a most estimable man and commanded the respect of all who knew him. He married Catharine Bowen, a daughter of Captain William Bowen (a brave soldier of the Revolution) and a granddaughter of General William Russell, who was also a statesman and patriot in those “times that tried men's souls.” This David Campbell and his wife, Catharine Bowen, were the parents of William B. Campbell, who was a captain in the Florida war, was in Congress six years, colonel of 1st Tennessee regiment in the Mexican war, judge and governor of Tennessee.

In 1804 Captain David Campbell, the subject of this sketch, married a second time. By this marriage he had three children, but only one lived to maturity – Margaret Lavinia Campbell, a most noble, lovely Christian woman, and one of great intellectual attainments. She married the Rev. John Kelly.

Captain Campbell left Campbell's Station in 1823, went to Wilson County, Tenn., near Lebanon, and settled on a farm of 600 acres, which is still owned by one of his descendants. The daughter of Captain David Campbell, in writing of her father, says “He was a man of stern, excitable temperament, with strong affections.” I only knew him after the public spirit of buoyant youth had calmed into the sober, resolute determination of generous patriotism, when the restless ambition, strengthened by the rough life of an orphan boy, had drawn him into many a struggle with which he bravely contended, until his soul felt the animation of success, and upright principles were wrought in him destined to live forever. His country's welfare was such a fixture in his character that no changes, no troubles or conflicting circumstances prevented his manifesting an ever active interest in its prosperity. The same propensity that made him give his services to his country during the Revolutionary War in defense of liberty, and the hardihood to undertake the life in a frontier fort with his little family for eight years, only changed its course when the many demands of a newly settled country in behalf of its civilization required his means and assistance in the erection of many log school houses, as well as bearing the greater part of the expense for teachers, not only for the advantage of his own children, but for those of his neighbors who were unable to contribute to these pioneer schools.

At no time in his history did I ever know him indifferent to the character of the man who was a candidate for office, whether the office was high or low; he considered it connected with the interest of his country and therefore a matter of deep concern to him. He felt that to be a right, which he ever exercised and kept in full force until he was near fourscore years of age. With pleasure and profit do I often revert to his uncomplaining disposition. With a firm tread he walked through the rough scenes of life, with contentment and cheerfulness, and admonished his children against fretfulness and discontent, while with a woman's tenderness he would ever encourage them in a course of usefulness for themselves and others. His influence and fond but worthy ambition was deeply felt by his children throughout their lives. I only knew him after the asperity of a high, strong nature was softened by Christian influence. The fervent spirit of the true Christian never died in this patriotic man. The love of the land of his birth, for which he had fought in two wars and enjoyed a probationary existence, did not prevent his warm affections from moving toward that better country. He was a man of truly devout religious feeling, possessed great integrity of character, was hospitable, social and kind to all who needed his aid in any way. He was slender, erect, square shouldered, with black hair and eyes, was five feet ten inches in height, a man of undaunted bravery and courage under all circumstances.

He lived on a farm seven miles from Lebanon, Tenn., until his death, which occurred August 18, 1832, aged 79 years. He was buried in the village grave yard at Leeville, Tenn., near Lebanon. A monument is over his grave, erected by his family.
