- Robert Campbell was one of the earliest members of the Derry church. In its graveyard is a stone to John Campbell, d. 20th February, 1734, aged seventy-nine. He is supposed to have come over from Ireland in 1726, and is thought to have removed to Shippensburg; and that Joseph and William Campbell, who bought lots Nos. 77 and 116 there, were his brothers; and two other brothers, Robert and Dugal, removed to Orange County, Va.; and that of his children, Alexander and James were warrantees for two hundred and three hundred acres in 1733-37 in Derry Township, and Patrick, Robert, and David went to St. Mark's Parish Orange County, Va., 1732-41, and subsequently Patrick settled in Augusta County, Va. The information, on traditions concerning the connection of the Virginia Campbells with those of early Pennsylvania is vague. However, there is a sheriff's writ, dated 19th November, 1746, for the arrest, for a debt of £146, of “Andrew Campbell, late of your [Lancaster] County, yeoman, otherwise called Andrew Campbell of Orange County, in the Colony of Virginia, yeoman;” and another writ, dated 5th November, 1758, to arrest John Campbell, late of Lancaster County, yeoman, to answer Redman Conyngham, administrator of the estate of John Henderson, deceased; and another, 4th May, 1759, to arrest James Campbell, yeoman, late of Lancaster County, for a debt. As these debtors departed for Virginia, these writs may be of genealogical use.
