Robert, When I check the IL sec. of state civil war units site at: http://www.sos.state.il.us/cgi-bin/civilwar?McCampbell , I note that David(son) was probably attached to headquarters company of the 104th at some time during his military tenure. His residence is not listed which may be an oversight or indicate that he enlisted from elsewhere than an Illinois county or town. If he was an Illinoisan there are others with the same surname that are shown, as well. They might be relatives. Tonica and Monmouth are not very far from one another in north central Illinois and Industry, as I recall is a little village in southern Illinois. Although I currently live in middle Tennessee my roots are in Illinois and I know the state quite well. The reason I am telling you all of this is that I am of highland Scots origin and "McCampbell" is a very unusual use of the Campbell name. Although Campbell is a highland Scots name it is seldom appended to the "Mac" or "Mc" appellation. The Duke of Argyll's family name is Campbell and he is the High Chief of all the Campbells. He does not affix Mc to his name as does, say, Lord Macdonald. Result of search for "McCampbell".
