Notebook. Old Augusta Campbells

John Campbell married Grisel or Grace Hay, daughter of Patrick Hay in 1695. The family moved from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to Fincastle County, Virginia abt. 1730. John and Grace reportedly had nine children: Patrick the eldest, born in 1696, maried Delilah Thompson. David the youngest, born 8 March, 1706, called "white" David to distinguish him from his darker cousin "black" David, married 16 January 1735, Mary Hamilton (1716-1801).

From "Annals of Augusta County, Virginia", by Joseph A. Waddell, pg. 147-149:

John Campbell came from Ireland to America in 1726, with five sons and several daughters, and settled first in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Eix or eight years afterwards, he removed to that part of Orange County, Virginia, which, in 1738, became Augusta County, where many of his numerous descendants lived for many years.

Three of John Campbell's sons came with him to Augusta, Partick, Robert and David.

Re: john campbell - grace hay 1773 Pa-Va Posted by: Katherine Embry Date: July 16, 1999 at 13:05:04 In Reply to: john campbell - grace hay 1773 Pa-Va by Steve J. Bivans of 1160

I descend from John Campbell and Griselle (Grace) Hay, through their daughter Lady Mary Ann Campbell. John was born November 16, 1674, in Londonderry, Ireland. Grace was born in 1678 in Ulster, Ire. They married in 1695. John died in 1741 and Grace died in 1771. I have listed as their children, the following: John (b. 1702), William, Catherine, Mary, David, James, Patrick, Robert, Margaret, David, John, James, Martha, Elizabeth, and Mary Ann. There are some duplication of names, but I believe some of the children died young. John and Grace immigrated to the U.S. in 1726 to Lancaster County, VA. I have another birthdate and location for Grace Hay, listed by someone else, as 1672 in Augusta, VA. I don't believe that is correct. I believe she immigrated with John in 1726. Otherwise all of her children would not have been born yet. Grace's father was Patrick Hay. I hope that helps a bit. Contact me if you require further info.
