    1. [PABEAVER-L] The CAMPBELLS of Washington and Beaver Counties
    2. One of my New Year's resolutions is to find out more about my ancestor Archibald Campbell, his parents, his wives, and his children. According to a county history, Archibald CAMPBELL was from County Ulster, Ireland, where he married and raised a family. Around 1799/1800, he came to the U.S. and settled in Robinson Township, Washington County, PA. He married a widow named Elizabeth FLETCHER SCOTT. On the 1810 Washington County census, Archibald appears with four children under ten years old--two boys and two girls. His sons' were Samuel (who was a law student and died young) and Josiah S. His daughters' names are not known. Archibald died around 1811 and was buried in Raccoon Presbyterian Cemetery in Candor, PA. Archibald's son, Josiah, was born 16 Apr 1806 in Robinson Township. He became a carpenter. Sometime around 1830, he moved to Frankfort Springs in Beaver County, PA and married Rosanna TEEL, daughter of John TEEL and Catherine VANDERMARK. They had the following children -- Catherine BUTZ (b. 1829), Elizabeth ANDERSON (b. abt. 1830, moved to Mansfield, PA), Samuel (b. 24 Feb 1831), James (b. abt. 1834, undertaker in Galion, Crawford County, OH), Josiah John (b. abt 1837, married Cynthia VANCE, moved to Memphis, TN.), Stephen S. Morris (b. abt. 1843, mechanic in Paducah, KY), Thomas Fletcher (b. abt. 1845, Killed in Civil War, 1864), Nancy A. (b. abt. 1847), Mary A., and Margaret. Josiah died 10 Dec 1858 and was buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery in Frankfort Springs. Josiah's son, Samuel, also a carpenter, married Jane VANCE 14 Mar 1855. Jane was the daughter of William Patterson VANCE and Mary STEPHENSON of Smith Township, Washington County, PA. During the Civil War, Samuel was Captain of Company H, 140th PA Volunteer Infantry. He was seriously wounded at Gettyburg and again at Petersburg. He returned home and moved his family to a farm in Hanover Township, Washington County, PA, living there until his death on 8 Mar 1887. Samuel and Jane had the following children: William, Samuel "Fred" (b. 27 Apr 1860), Anna Mary HANLIN (b. abt. 1865), Thomas Fletcher (b. abt. 1868), and Joseph Vance (b. abt. 1878). Although son William moved to Pittsburgh and Anna Mary moved to Irondale, Columbiana County, OH, the rest of the family stayed and farmed in the Hanover Township area. Any information about these Campbell families will be greatly appreciated. Diane
