SAMUEL CAMPBELL (deceased) was born in Virginia Jan. 10, 1781; he was a son of Alexander Campbell; he served as a private in the late war with Great Britain. Sept. 23, 1806, he was married to Miss Mary Small, a daughter of Andrew and Margaret Small. This union was blessed with eleven children; of these five are living, viz., Lewis D., William H. H., Edwin R., Mary (wife of Samuel Woodard) and Samuel E., Andrew, Daniel, James L., Catharine, Mary A. and Abner C. are deceased. Mr. Campbell departed this life July 17, 1846. Mrs. Campbell was born in Northumberland Co.. Penn., March 20, 1786; her parents came to this county in 1794; her father was a soldier in Capt. Hendrick's Company in the American Revolution. Mrs. Campbell is now in the 96th year of her age: she is in possession of all her mental faculties and enjoying good health and bids fair to accomplish the life of a centenarian. She is the oldest lady in Warren County; eighty-eight years of her life was passed within its limits, and all its prominent changes have taken place under her observation, and they still occupy a place in her memory. The people of Old Warren congratulate our venerable subject for being the mother of so many intelligent sons, such as Col. Lewis D. Campbell, who was a Congressman of considerable distinction and since a resident of Hamilton; also one son, a physician, who stood eminent in his profession, but since deceased.
