New to the list: I'm looking for more information on Robert John Campbell, specifically - and any of these people in general. Robert J. Campbell, the first, would have married Margaret sometime between 1920 and 1924 - as she was 18 when Robert John II was born. If you have any leads - please help? Thanks! Kess here's what I have dug up - with some great help from Diane C. and from chats with family's fading memories. ----------------------------------------------- Robert John Campbell Sr. was born in Philadelphia, PA. General Notes: Was killed in a card game and his body was never found. No further info at this time. (Notes from the family tree from Robert J. Campbell, III 10-4-2002) Robert married Margaret Peterson- daughter of John Peterson and Marie K. Peterson (maiden name unknown) Margaret was born in either New Jersey or Philadelphia, PA and died in Cherry Hill, NJ. They had four children: Robert John, William, Jack, and Thelma. And I know that Robert (Bob) Campbell I's death was said to be in the papers. Supposedly he was shot over a game of cards and thrown into the river and his body was never found. He was apparently quite a dandy. William, Margaret's son, committed suicide in Pittsburg, PA after marrying Marge and having two children - Barbara Lee and William Jr. -------------- Margaret's parents: John PETERSEN Birth Date: 19 Aug 1883 Death Date: Jun 1967 State or Territory Where Number Was Issued: Pennsylvania Death Residence Localities ZIP Code: 08034 Localities: Cherry Hill, Camden, New Jersey --- Mary (Marie K.)
