Notes on Robert Campbell

From "History of the Campbell Family", By Henry James Lee, pg. 72:

Robert and Dugal Campbell removed from Pennsylvania to Orange County, Virginia, and Patrick, Robert and David Campbell, sons of John Campbell, went to St. Mark's parish, Orange County, between 1732 and 1741. Subsequently Patrick Campbell settled in Augusta County, Virginia. Other records of Virginia at this period show that, in 1738, surveys of land in Augusta County were had by Robert Campbell and Patrick Campbell; also that, in 1746, James Campbell was the owner of 570 acres of land in the same county. Charles Campbell and Hugh Campbell also settled in Virginia at this time.
