APPENDIX
Memorandum received by the Editor from Mr. Douglas Campbell,
New York (vide supra, p. 61).
William Campbell, son of William Campbell of Wester
Kames and nephew of Duncan Campbell of Auchinbreck, left
Scotland for the north of Ireland prior to 1689. He served
as a major in the defence of Londonderry in that year. He
had two sons, James, born 1690, and Samuel, born 1695, both
of whom went to America and settled at Boston, Massachusetts,
in 1728. James Campbell, having got a considerable tract of
land in Tyron County in the Province of New York (now in
the township of Cherry Valley, Otsego County, New York),
moved there in 1741. This land is situated at the head-waters
of the Susquehanna River, twelve miles south of the Mohawk,
and was on the border of the country of the Six Nations of
Iroquois. His house was a fortified house, with two stone
‘block-houses,’ reminiscent, in structure and design, of the
Scottish keep. He was succeeded (1770) by Samuel Campbell,
1 Minister of Lismore, ob. September 1722.
