Once again I am sending my annual request. If you descended from or know anything about the following Campbells please contact me, if you have not already done so, since I am trying to trace all of the descendants of Hugh Argyle Campbell and his father, Thomas Campbell.

Hugh Argyle Campbell (1744-1810) b. NH, d. NY, m. Mary Smith (1751-1819)
Their children were:

Jean (or Jane) (1771-1817) Campbell m. Witter Johnson (1751-1819)
Caty Campbell (1774-?) m. James Eliseandra
Elizabeth Campbell (1776-?) unmarried
Margaret D. Campbell (1781-?) m. Joseph Gouldsborough
Hugh Argyle Campbell Jr (1783-1861) m. Margaret Mathers (1785-1848)
Robert S. Campbell (1785-?)
Thomas Burns Campbell (1788-1884) m. Phidelia Terry (1792-1853)
Adam Smith Campbell (1791-1850) m. Mary Adams (1798-1892)
David Campbell (1794-1861) m. 1)?, Jennie Matilda
Benjamin Smith Campbell (1773-1852) b. NH, d. Ohio, m. Sally Keyes (1778-1858)
Their children were:

Archibald Campbell (1795-1874) m. Chloe Baker (1799-1858)
John Keyes Campbell (1797-1873) m. Betsey Sheffield (1822-1893)
Almira Campbell (c. 1808-?)
Barney Campbell (c. 1809-?) m. Nancy (c. 1814-?)

I have considerable info about Hugh and some of his descendants which I could send you if you find any connection.

The parents of Hugh Argyle Campbell were Thomas Campbell and Jane Davidson. They married 1733 in Billerica, MA, and moved to Londonderry, NH, about 1735. Jane, her siblings, and her parents emigrated from North Ireland in 1728. Thomas probably also emigrated from North Ireland but I don't know. He seemed to appear from nowhere, married, moved to Londonderry and Bedford, NH, had an undetermined number of children, and then vanished. Thomas and Jane (sometimes written "Jean") had at least three sons: John, Nathaniel, and Hugh Argyle. Nathaniel was born 1741 in Londonderry, NH, and died 1795. He married Agnes who was born 1744 also in Londonderry. Nathaniel probably had a son Thomas who married Mary.

At the same time (1700s) there was a Thomas Campbell married to Elizabeth, in the Londonderry-Windham area. I'm interested iin him too because he was probably a cousin of my Thomas.

If you have any connection to or info about or interest in any of these persons, then please contact me at:
