Comment

The following was presumably transmitted to Egle by kinsman of the Campbell family that stayed in PA. Based on the level of detail provided, the source may have been a descendant of John Campbell (1656-1734) who died in Derry Township. The Campbell lineage has become very confused, with many alternative presentations. Whether this line is in fact connected to the "Breadalbane Lineage" of the Campbells, is questionable.
