Descendants of Captain Samuel Elliott have tried to find the connection with a Campbell family for many years. I found several information sources which caused me to revisit this subject. First is a letter found in the Lancaster Historical Library. It was written in 1940 by Opal Hunt Bowman (born about 1870). Opal was the daughter of Margaret Elliott and the granddaughter of Alexander Campbell Elliott. Part of the letter states the following: "At the close of the war he went to Allentown & married my great grandmother Mary (Argyle) Campbell - both having come from Campbellstown Scotland & settled County Antrim, Ireland - then came with their parents to the U.S." A second piece of information is the Rev. War record of a Lieut. Samuel Elliot serving in Northampton County militia, 5th Battalion, 6th Company in the 1777 to 1780 time period. He served under Captain Patrick Campbell. This Samuel Elliot does not seem to appear in Northampton County militia before 1777 or after 1780. It is assumed that Samuel Elliott & Mary Campbell married in about 1777-8, based on the birth date of son, Cornelius (9-27-1779). Samuel Elliott appears in the Caernarvon, Lancaster, PA tax rolls for most years between 1772 and 1787, except the year of 1777. Is it possible that he spent a year or two in Northampton County and served with that militia, and at that time married Mary Campbell? Was the Captain Patrick Campbell a relative of Mary (father, brother, uncle)? Is there other information to verify that our Elliott family originated in Campbellstown, Scotland? Any significance to the reference to Argyle for Mary Campbell? Believe that was the county in Scotland where Campbellstown is located. Is there any information on a Campbell family with a Patrick as well as an Alexander? Jim Elliott
