| 153 | TABITHA ADAMS RUSSELL, daughter of Gen. William and Tabitha Adams Russell, was born in Culpeper county, Va., 1764. She married Capt. William Campbell of Washington county, Va., about 1784. Captain Campbell was the son of Patrick Campbell, and his mother was Miss Steele. His grandfather was also Patrick Campbell, a brother of Charles Campbell, who was the father of Gen. William Campbell of King's Mountain fame. Soon after their marriage they removed to Cumberland, Tenn., which was then in Davidson county, North Carolina. In 1788 they removed to Fayette county, Ky., and settled temporarily on “Elkhorn,” near the residence of Col. William Russell at Russell's Cave. In 1793 they removed thence to Muhlenburg county, and settled permanently at Caney Station, which was upon a portion of the “Russell survey.” Captain Campbell was a man of remarkable purity of character, and of great piety. The following letter written by him was found in the collection of old correspondence, and is probably the only one of his now in existence. It will doubtless be read with interest by his descendants. source: Des Cognets, Anna Russell. William Russell and His Descendants. Lexington, KY: Samuel F.

| 156 | THE CAMPBELL FAMILY. John Campbell emigrated to America from Ireland in 1726, and first settled in Lancaster, Pa. In 1733 he came south to Augusta – then Orange county, and settled near Bellefont. He left two sons, Patrick and David. Patrick left a son Charles, whose son William was born near Staunton 1744, and was the hero of King's Mountain. David Campbell, the youngest son of the original settler, married Mary Hamilton, and left thirteen children. In 1765, John, the eldest son of David Campbell and Mary Hamilton, explored the southwest, and purchased lands on the headwaters of the Holston, where soon after, the family settled itself. One of the daughters, Mary, married Wm. Lochart; a second, Margaret, married David Campbell. All the Campbells supported the Founder in his early plans, and shared in the hardships and dangers of the Indian wars. John Campbell, the eldest son of David, born in Augusta, 1741, was a lieutenant in Wm. Campbell's company, in Col. Christian's regiment, under Gen. Lewis, in 1774. He commanded a company in the battle of Long Island Flats of Holston, in July, 1776, defeating the Indians under their famous chief, Dragon Canoe. He also commanded a company in October, 1776, in Col. Christian's expedition against the Cherokee towns. In 1778, he was appointed clerk of Washington county. He died in 1825, in his 85th year. His younger brother was Col. Arthur Campbell. David, the fourth brother of those who came to Holston, was educated for the bar. He removed to Tennessee, and was one of the Judges of the Supreme Court. He died in 1812. Robert, the next brother, born in Augusta, 1752, was a volunteer under Lewis in 1774, was in all the battles with his brother, and an ensign at King's Mountain. He was an active, energetic and useful man. He died 1831, aged 77. Patrick, the youngest brother, was also in the battle of King's Mountain. He married and left a large family, and died in his 8oth year. Such is a brief sketch of the five brothers, sons of David Campbell, and grandsons of Jno. C., the original Irish emigrant. The father of Gen. Wm. Campbell was Charles Campbell, who died in Augusta. Wm. C., with his mother and sisters, then removed to Holston. Elizabeth, the eldest sister, married Jno. Taylor, from whom Judge Allen Taylor and the Taylors of Montgomery county are descended. Jane, the second sister, married Thos. Tate; Margaret, the third sister, married Arthur Campbell; the fourth sister, Ann, married Richard Paston. All left families of high respectability. source: Peyton, John Lewis.

We find from these Campbells Duncan Campbell, whose son, John Campbell, came from Donegal, Ireland, and settled in Donegal township, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. His descendants passed down the valley of the Shenandoah to South-western Virginia, where we find among the branches on an old family tree, revived and added to from time to time, General William Campbell, of King's Mountain fame, and his grandson Wm. C. Preston; the brothers, Colonel Arthur and Captain John Campbell, of Virginia (the latter of whom was the father of Governor David Campbell, of Virginia); Judge David, of the State of Franklin, afterward the State of Tennessee, with their cousin and brother-in-law, Colonel David, of Campbell's station, East Tennessee; his son, General John Campbell, of the War of 1812; grandson, Governor William B. Campbell of Tennessee. Another branch bears upon it the name of the gallant Confederate, General Alex. W. Campbell, of West Tennessee, Scotch Irish on both sides. source: The Scotch-Irish Society of America.
