Children

General Notes: Husband - Gen. Charles Campbell


His parents were of Scotch descent, but came to America from Ireland.
General Campbell came to what is now Burrell township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, about 1772, locating on Blacklick creek, where he erected what were long known as Campbell's mills. "A scant record exists of his captivity among the Indians and British." He and "five others of the early settlers were captured by the Indians and held as prisoners for five years." He became a large land owner, having possessions on both sides of Blacklick creek, and was one of the best-known men of his day in the county, taking a leading and active part in its development. He was noted for his military prowess, having had honorable and useful connection with the militia of the county and district; it is not positively known whether he did or did not take part in the Revolution. He was a leading member of the Bethel Presbyterian Church and for some years one of the ruling elders.
