My Campbell’s are from the Brush Valley area of Indian County PA and I have done a fair amount of research in this area. The earliest record of William Campbell (c1773-1863) is his arrival in Indiana Co., PA around 1802 or 1803. He married Martha McCormick around 1804 and had 10 children. Most of William’s descendants remained in Pennsylvania. Other surnames associated with this line are: BRACKEN, WAKEFIELD, FINDLEY, and MILLER. It is speculated that William Campbell’s ancestors may have come from the Franklin County, PA where a number of related families settled or New Jersey where the Brackens where known to have come from It is suspected that he may have been the brother of Andrew Campbell who married Jane (UNK), One of the problems in searching this area, was that parts of Indiana County were originally part of Westmoreland County until Indiana Co. was formed in 1802.
Kevin, Thank you for the websites. I will check them out.
