General Notes: Husband - Arthur Campbell


He and his brother William bought a farm near the old Campbell farm in 1822, and lived on said farm until 1831; they then sold it and bought 400 acres of land on Service Creek, four miles below the old home farm, and moved on to the same in 1832, dividing it equally between them. They both lived and died on these farms.
He was a commissioner of Beaver County at the time of his death.

He lived after his marriage on the "Witherow place," until about 1831, when operating the mill at Hookstown, he moved to the Andy McClure place, but moved to the Muhlenberg tract on Service Creek in 1832, where he lived in a house built by John Robertson, which stood near the entrance of the garden, as it in 1892 was, belonging to his grandson, William Arthur Campbell. Here Arthur Campbell built a new house about 1838, on the spot where now (1914) is the older part of the residence now lived in by William Arthur Campbell, most of the frame work of the present house being that of the one constructed in 1838. In his early manhood Arthur Campbell was a school teacher.

Of their children, Nancy, Joseph, William and Comfort were born at the so-called "Witherow place;" Mary was born at the Andy McClure place; Marshall and Louisa were born in the old Robertson log cabin; James was born in the house built in 1838.
