Patrick Campbell: for himself and Elizabeth, Charles, William, Patrick, Jr., John, Mary, Elizabeth, Gennet. Patrick Campbell The phrasing "Patrick Campbell for himself and Elizabeth" is our first indication that the name of his wife was "Elizabeth". While Elizabeth's surname is commonly given as Taylor, the basis for this is unknown. Subsequently land records, confirm Elizabeth as his wife: Augusta County, Virginia Deed Book 4, page 223. - Patrick Campbell, Sr., and Elizabeth, to Patrick Campbell, Jr., 212 acres.

[edit] Child ListModern genealogists commonly identify a number of children for Patrick Campbell. His 1740 importation oath, as well as certain land records, confirm some of these children. Other children are included in the importation record, but are not commonly identified by genealogists, while other person identified by genealogists as children of this couple are not confirmed by records found to date. Unconfirmed children in light grey
Four persons, commonly identified as children of this couple are rejected at least temporarily, pending the discovery of confirming records.
Two persons, not usually recognized as children of this couple, are added to the child list based on the oath of importation. [edit] BioFrom Source:Draper, 1881: The Campbell family, from which the hero of King's Mountain [4]descended, were originally from Inverary, Argyllshire, connected with the famous Campbell clans of the Highlands of Scotland; and emigrated to Ireland near the close of the reign of Queen Elizabeth—about the year 1600. The northern portion of Ireland received, at that period, large accessions of Scotch Protestants, who proved valuable and useful citizens. Here the Campbells continued to live for several generations, until at length John Campbell, with a family of ten or twelve children, removed to America in 1726, and settled first in Donegal, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where we find one of his sons, Patrick Campbell, born in 1690, serving as a constable in 1729. About 1730, Person:John Campbell (205), with three of his sons, Patrick among them, removed from Pennsylvania to what was then a part of Orange, now Augusta County, in the rich valley of Virginia.[5]Another authority assigns 1738 as the time of this migration.[6] [edit] DrumabodenThe Drumabodan Campbells claim descent from a Hugh Campbell, a grandson of Colin, 6th Earl of Agyll. According to Source:Campbell, 1925 Hugh left Scotland in 1661 and settled in the Kilmacrenan Parish, on the River Lennon, about 1661, naming their farm "Drumabodan" for "some place in Scotland".[7] Several of Hugh's grandsons, including Patricks father, John Campbell (205), left Ireland for America about 1726, settling in Lancaster PA. Patrick appears on Beverleys Manor, in what is now Augusta County VA, by 1738, when he acquired several tracts of land, including one of 1538 acres.
