He was born in the town of Ferrisburg, Addison County, Vt., October 26, 1826, and is the son of Captain George Campbell, a native of Mansfield, Conn. His paternal grandfather is supposed to have been likewise a native of Connecticut and tradition says that the family in America was perpetuated by four brothers who emigrated from Scotland. Grandfather Campbell followed farming all his life which it is supposed he spent in Connecticut. Captain George Campbell was reared in his native State whence he went to Vermont and after his marriage located in Vergennes, where he established a tannery and in addition to the manufacture of leather, also made boots and shoes. This was before the days of railroads and transportation was effected via Lake Champlain and the Champlain Canal.

The father of our subject remained a resident of Vergennes a number of years, then purchasing property in Ferrisburg, put up a sawmill and bought a tannery. He was occupied with these until his death, which occurred in October, 1815. He earned his title of Captain by commanding a company of State Militia a number of years. Politically, he was an old line Whig and he was for many years identified with the Masonic fraternity. He was twice married.
