Cheri,
I saw your post and the part about Joseph Campbell being a stone cutter from
Glasgow intrigued me. My gg grandfather came from Glasgow and was also a
stone cutter. I believe he came into the country at Philadelpia also. I am
sending the notes I have about him.
Thomas Francis Campbell was born in Scotlandin about 1836. He married
Bridgett Malone who was from Ireland. They settled for a while in Adams
County, Illinois but moved on to Oklahoma in about 1901 or 1902. Thomas is
buried in the Catholic section of the Rose Cemetery in Hobart, Oklahoma. His
obituary says that he died of "prostatitis". He was an orphan and no more
information has been traced back in Scotland regarding him at this point. He
lived to be about 80 years of age. The probate of Thomas' will is dated
March 29, 1898. His death certificate and legal processing of his will are
dated March 27, 1921. Thomas Campbell may have come to America with 2 uncles
and an aunt. The uncles were stone cutters and their names are supposed to
be on buildings in Washington, D.C.
Bridgett Malone was born in Ireland. Her family came to America during the
Potato Famine when she was 9 years old (about 1848). They came from Nenagh
Tipperary Ireland. She was one of 12 children. Bridgett lived to be about
96 years of age. Bridgett's will was written on May 6, 1921 with a codacil
dated July 17, 1928. She died in Hobart. Oklahoma on July 4, 1933 leaving
most things to the Catholic Church.
