• Notes

  The youngest son, David, born March 4, 1781, was a most estimable man and commanded the respect of all who knew him. He married Catharine Bowen, a daughter of Captain William Bowen (a brave soldier of the Revolution) and a granddaughter of General William Russell, who was also a statesman and patriot in those “times that tried men's souls.” This David Campbell and his wife, Catharine Bowen, were the parents of William B. Campbell, who was a captain in the Florida war, was in Congress six years, colonel of 1st Tennessee regiment in the Mexican war, judge and governor of Tennessee. source: Pilcher, Margaret Campbell. “Sketch of Captain David Campbell.” The American Historical Magazine and Tennessee Historical Society Quarterly, Volume 8, Number 2. Nashville, TN: Goodpasture Book Company, 1903. The youngest son, David, was born on March 4, 1781. He married Catherine Bowen, daughter of Captain William Bowen and granddaughter of General William Russell. Captain David Campbell, after the death of his wife, Margaret, married a second time and by this wife had one child, Margaret Lavinia, who married Rev. John Kelly. In 1823 Captain David Campbell removed to Middle Tennessee and lived for a time in Sumner County; then bought a farm in Wilson County, where he died August 18, 1832. It was at their old homestead on Mansker's Creek that their eldest son, William Bowen Campbell, was born. source: Cisco, Jay Guy.
