Home and Mill

Percephull Campbell House (in 1980)

The Perciphull Campbell House, located above Hunting Creek in the rolling hills near the northern edge of Iredell County, is an undisturbed example of the solid but unpretentious Piedmont Carolina dwelling of the type sometimes labelled "I-House"[2]

Perciphull Campbell, Sr., was one of the several Campbells who settled in the northern portion of Iredell County by the last decade of the eighteenth century; and he and his wife (Sarah Elizabeth Cook) had already begun a family that

would eventually include five sons and three daughters. As early as the mid-1790s, Perciphull Campbell had begun to accumulate prime lands along Hunting Creek, with two purchases at this time totaling 300 acres.[3] Over the next forty years these land holdings were to become quite extensive. By 1815, Perciphull Campbell's local prominence was evidenced by his being chosen as one of four commissioners appointed by the North Carolina legislature to lay off the newly created town of Williamsburg—the second town to be incorporated in Iredell County. It is also known that Campbell was performing marriages in the northern portion of the county during the 1820s, although it is not known whether he was acting as a minister of the gospel or (more likely) a justice of the peace. During the 1810s and 1820s Campbell added considerably to his land holdings along Hunting Creek; and his purchases during the latter decade, together with architectural evidence, suggest that the residence known as the Perciphull Campbell House was constructed during that period.

Evidence indicates, however, that Perciphull Campbell, Sr., did not remain long in the house which bears his name. On 5 September 1836, he purchased 750 acres of land "on Big Rocky Creek" to the south of his former residence; and the recited consideration of $4,000 indicates that the property was extensively improved at the time of its purchase. It was at this second residence that the elder Campbell established himself as a moderately prosperous planter, having acquired 21 slaves by 1850. Here it is that he died on 6 June 1853, his will referring to his land "on the Waters of Rocky Creek including the House that I now live in."

Presumably since the elder Campbell's move to Rocky Creek in the 1830s, the home place on Hunting Creek was occupied by the second and most trusted of his five sons, Perciphull Campbell, Jr. (born 18 August 1792). The younger Perciphull Campbell, Jr. was named co-executor of his father's estate and continue to occupy the Hunting Creek property after the death of his father on 6 June 1853. There, with his wife Tabitha Morgan Campbell and their five children, Perciphull Campbell, Jr., established himself as a planter on a somewhat smaller scale than his father. In 1850 he was listed as the holder of ten slaves and the owner of 570 acres, 200 of which were improved and 370 unimproved. The total cash value of the farm was put at $2,185. Principal crops were wheat, rye, oats, and corn, with the last of these heavily predominating.

On 22 October 1862 Perciphull Campbell, Jr. died, leaving, like his father before him, an estate which was long enmeshed in a web of legal uncertainty and complexity. All evidence indicates that the home place on Hunting Creek was now occuped by his widow, Tabitha, and the family of his son, Leolin Vanhook (L.V.) Campbell. Already by 1850, L.V. Campbell had been listed as the owner of three slaves in his own right, in addition to the ten slaves owned by his father. Tabitha Campbell died on 29 September 1879, leaving the home place in the sole possession of her son. But L.V. Campbell died intestate 20 May 1888, once again leaving the Hunting Creek home place in a condition of legal limbo. His estranged widow, Margaret Emma Buxton Campbell (second wife), and their two children, William Buxton and Alice Campbell (daughter by his first wife, Ann Clementine Dent Campbell, who died in 1856), were long engaged in disputes concerning the property. The widow, Margaret Emma Buxton Campbell, apparently lived out the remainder of her life in the house, but it was Alice Campbell who at length came into possession of the house, and who continued to live there for nearly half a century longer (Alice died in 1936) . It was she who was indicated as the "Miss Campbell" living in the house when a detailed map of Iredell County was rendered in 1917.

On 4 December 1935, Alice Campbell conveyed the Perciphull Campbell home place and 139 acres of associated property to one L.C. Henderson, with a provision that she be permitted to occupy and enjoy the profits of the property for the remainder of her natural life. In less than two months, however, on 21 January 1936, she passed away in the eighty-first year of her age. At her death the Percipull Campbell home place passed forever from the Campbell family possession. The owner in 1980 was Mrs. Margaret Mahaffy Cass.

Residences

In 1784 or 1785, Perciphull was present in Wilkes County, North Carolina at the marriage of his brother, John Campbell. A deed in the Iredell County states that on June 5, 1795 Perciphull Campbell bought 100 acres of land on a creek in Iredell County from Elizabeth Campbell for 20 pound currency.[4] Elizabeth Campbell was probably Perciphull's mother. Perciphull or his father, Adam Campbell, received on October 10, 1783 a State Grant consisting of 200 acres of land on the south side of Hunting Creek in Rowan County.[5] There are no records of Perciphull buying any property, other than the State Grant, in Rowan County before or after the creation of Iredell County from Rowan County in 1788. According to deeds on file in the Iredell County Courthouse, Perciphull Campbell bought an additional 1,081 acres of land north and south of the Hunting Creek and on the waters of the Rocky Branch between 1798 and 1823.

The first Federal Census of the United States (North Carolina, Iredell County, Salisbury District), conducted in 1790[6] lists a 'Penniful Campbell' as a head of household in Iredell County with only himself and one free white female and no slaves. Perciphull's name has been recorded several different ways--including P. Campbell, Sr. (most common), Purcival, Percephull, Penniful, and John Pierce. In his will, which was probably written by him or by his son (Perciphull Campbell, Jr.), the spelling appears to be "Perciphull. His son was referred to as either Perciphull Campbell, Jr. or Perciphull Campbell, Esq. Perciphull Campbell, Sr. was also enumerated in the 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, and 1850 Federal Censuses from Iredell County. In the 1850 Census, he was enumerated with his son-in-law, Milas Dobbins, and Perciphull's birthplace was listed as Virginia.[7]

Perciphull accumulated a considerable estate during his lifetime. The Federal Census records show that he had no slaves in 1790, one in 1800, and one in 1820. By the time his Will[8] was written in 1844, he owned 24 slaves and 1,600 acres of land (including more than one mill), as well as $204 in cash.

Assistance with Revolutionary War Pension of Perciphull's Brother John

Perciphull was too young to see any action in the Revolutionary War. However, he helped his older brother, John Campbell, in writing his pension application. After John Campbell died, Perciphull also assisted John's wife, Carah or Sarah Mullis, file a pension claim based on John's service in the Revolution. In this pension application, Perciphull gave his age as about 66 in 1834 and stated that he was married in 1788. His presence at his brother's marriage is also noted. Perciphull gave his birthplace as Culpeper, Virginia. In 1843, Perciphull was an acting Justice of the Peace in Iredell Co.

According to John Campbell's pension application, John Campbell was born in 1759 or 1760 in Culpeper Co., Virginia. While a resident of Rowan Co., North Carolina (part of which later became Iredell Co.), John enlisted in 1779 or 1780 and served as a private in Captain Jacob Nichols's[9] and George Lawman's (George Lowman) North Carolina Companies[10] under Colonel Bryan's North Carolina Regiment. Again in 1780, he enlisted and served for four months in Captain William Maul's North Carolina Company, with which he fought in the Battle of Gate's Defeat. In this battle, he was taken prisoner, but he escaped after a few days. On his way home he was made prisoner again by the Tories, but he escaped after only a day.

John Campbell was married after the war by a minister, James Ally, to Corah Mullis. They had two small children in the year 1788. John died in Iredell Co. on March 23, 1834. Corah was aged 83 years in 1843. The North Carolina Sate Census for Wilkes Co., taken between 1784 and 1787 lists two John Campbells--one resided in Captain John Tribles District (household included one white male between the ages of 21 and 60, one white male under age 21 or over 60, six white females, and no blacks) and the other resided in Captain Gordan's District (between the age of 21 and 60 with no other household members present). It is interesting to note several other individuals enumerated in Captain Gordan's District, including John Howard, William and Benjamin Herndon, Randolf Mabury, Thomas and Abraham Cook, James Fletcher, Benjamin and George Parkes, Ann Parkes, William Allen, Alexander Gilreath, Daniel "Vannoys' (sic), and Sarah Mullis. Many of the descendants of these families later married descendants of Perciphull.

Several other people, including Theophilus Campbell, Sarah Campbell, and John Howard, gave affidavits in John Campbell's pension application; however, their relation, if any, to Perciphull Campbell or John Campbell was not given.

Perciphull stated in John Campbell's pension application that he was intimately known to Governor Francis Young, John Young, William Harbin, Esq., Martin Morgan, and Samuel Keay. John Young was later a County Commissioner in 1868. According to a book by Homer Keever[11], Iredell, Piedmont County, William Harbin was the first postmaster of Williamsburg and Frances Young served on the Georgia Road Jury with Perciphull in 1808. Reference is also made by Keever in his book to Perciphull marrying six couples around 1828 and the fact that Perciphull noted that all of them were supporters of candidate for President, Andrew Jackson.

Other Activities

Perciphull Campbell, Sr. was active in many local activities. He served numerous times as a juror for the Iredell Co. Superior Court from as early as 1809. Perciphull served with Amos Sharpe, Ruben Morgan, and John Cowden on a commission that founded the town of Williamsburg, created by North Carolina legislative action in 1815 and the second oldest town in Iredell County.

About a mile and a half north of Union Grove and not far from the banks of the Hunting Creek is the Campbell Family Cemetery. Here, Perciphull Campbell, Sr. and his wife Sarah are buried. Perciphull's tombstone indicates that he was born on April 13, 1767 and died on June 6, 1853. A Masonic symbol is inscribed on his tombstone. His wife's tombstone is next to his and bears the inscription "Member of the Baptist Church for over 50 years", as wells as her date of birth, June 2, 1767, and date of death, February 28, 1848.

The earliest Baptist congregation in Iredell County, Grassy Knob, was organized in 1789. Perciphull and his family probably attended this church. Several of Perciphull's grandchildren are buried there. Grassy Knob is located not far from the Campbell Cemetery, at the foot of a small mountain called Grassy Knob. Grassy Knob at 1,490 feet is one of the highest points in north Iredell County.

Will of Perciphull Campbell, Sr.

Campbell Family Cemetery, Union Grove, North Carolina

The Will of Perciphull Campbell, Sr., dated November 1, 1844, is located in the Iredell Co. Courthouse. In this Will Perciphull refers to his wife, Sarah, and his eight children--William (then deceased), Perciphull, Jr., Theophilus M., John R., Williams R., Sarah, Mrs. Parks (then deceased, Mary Polly Campbell Parks), and Mrs. Frances Dobbins (Frances Fanny Campbell Dobbins). He willed all his lands and mills and all the machinery thereunto belonging; and likewise all his Negroes and all his horses and wagons and all his stock and household and kitchen furniture and all notes and money that he possessed during his lifetime to his wife, Sarah. He appointed his son Perciphull Campbell, Jr. and Milas Dobbins his executors and the executors of his wife's estate at her death to divide the estate as prescribed in his Will. However, Sarah died in 1848, five years before Perciphull.

In his Will, Perciphull Campbell, Sr. gave to the heirs of his oldest son William one hundred dollars each. Their names are given as Alford and Thersy. A Campbell Family History written by H. P. Vanhoy in 1925 indicates that William Campbell married Jensie Morgan.[12]

Perciphull gave his second son, Perciphull Campbell, Jr. all his land on the north side of Hunting Creek and four slaves--Big Issac, Susannah, Marian, and Canah. Perciphull Campbell, Jr. was born on August 18, 1792. He married Tobitha Morgan and they had five children--Williamson H., Reuben, Sarah "Sally" Eve Douthitt, Mildon G., and Leolin Vanhook. Perciphull Campbell, Jr. was a prosperous man. In the 1860 Federal Census, he is listed as having real estate valued at $6,026 and personal property valued at 48,000. He inherited one of his father's mills, the tub mill on Hunting Creek, south of Zion Church. His son, Leolin Vanhook, inherited this mill that was later passed on to his daughter Alice. The mill was next to a covered bridge over the Hunting Creek and their home that still stands today. Perciphull Campbell, Jr. and Tobitha are both buried in the Campbell Family Cemetery.

To the heirs of his third son, Theophilus M. Campbell, Perciphull gave 300 acres of land adjoining Elijah Salmons and four slaves--James, Peter, Silvey, and Andrew. Theophilus was to have no title nor claim to this property. Theophilus was born in 1797 and died on Dec 14, 1855. He married Tabitha Rena "Renee" Allen. According to property deeds, Theophilus had seven children--Mary E. "Polly" Campbell Rominger, Frances Elizabeth "Faney" Campbell Redman, Sarah Ann Lodema "Sally" Campbell Mize, Tabitha Carolina Campbell Williams, William Crawford Campbell, and John. Theophilus was elected in 1826 to one term as legislator in the North Carolina House of Commons from Iredell County representing Eagle Mills Township. He appeared as a defendant before the Iredell County Superior Court in the Spring of 1830, 1835, and 1840. He was fined in each instance. In 1830, he was forced to sell 50 acres of land to Samuel McConnold to pay off debts that he had incurred. He had separated from Renee by 1850 and after his death, Renee and most of his family moved to Izard County, Arkansas.

To his son John R. Campbell, Perciphull gave 500 acres of land on the south side of Hunting Creek on the waters of the Rocky Branch and four slaves--Nelson, Betty, Lee, and Marandy. John R. was born on September 18, 1802. He married Lucy Williams (born December 4, 1816), by whom he had eight children--Tobitha Campbell Somers, Theophelus Campbell, II, Mary "Polly" Campbell Bolin, Paulina Campbell Huie, James W., Sarah Campbell Van Hoy, and William Milas. The inheritance from his Father significantly increased John's wealth. In 1850, he had real estate valued at only $250; whereas, in 1860 his real estate and personal property was valued at $3000 and $2250, respectively. The house in which John R. lived is located near the Campbell Cemetery. He and Lucy are buried behind their house in a small family plot. He died on August 23, 1872 and Lucy died on June 26, 1901. The house passed into the Bolin family and then the Reid family. The house originally had three stories, but one story was cut off.

To his son Williams R. Campbell, Perciphull gave 550 acres of land on the waters of the Rocky Creek, including the house that he then lived in and four slaves--Bryant, Frank, Burton, and Rachel. Williams R. (born February 16, 1815) married Mary (Polly) Howard (born February 16, 1815), daughter of John Howard and Ann Summer. They had ten children--James Alfred, William Washington, Sarah Ann Campbell Jennings, Augustus W., Henry F., Martin H, Mary Elizabeth Campbell Puckett, Samuel Pettus, Preston B., and Alice Campbell Storey. Martin is buried in the Campbell Cemetery. Williams moved his family to Izard Co., Arkansas before the Civil War. Williams R. died on June 8, 1883 and Mary died on July 18, 1894; they are both buried in the Campbell Family Cemetery in Izard Co., Arkansas.

To his oldest daughter, Sarah "Sallie" Campbell Morgan (born in 1805), Perciphull gave six Negroes--Huldy, Jane, Eli, Catherine, Emily, and Sarah. Her husband, Bartlett (born in 1800 or 1803), was to have no title nor claim to the Negroes. Sarah and Bartlett's children were Pierce, William, Gaf, John B., and Joseph Milden.

To the heirs of his second daughter, Mrs. Mary "Polly" Campbell Parks (the first name was not given in the Will), Perciphull gave one dollar each. The heirs were John P. (1827-1918), Dabney W. (1831-1863), Richard (1826-?), and Theophilus C. Parks (1835-1903). Perciphull's second daughter was born after 1808 and died before November 1, 1844. Her husband was Gabriel Parks.

To his third and youngest daughter, Frances Dobbins (Frances Fanny Campbell Dobbins), Perciphull gave his mills, all the mill machinery, 250 acres of land adjoining the mills, a Negro boy the name of Little Issac, and a Negro girl by the name of Miry.

Milas Dobbins (born about 1802) married Frances Campbell on Aug. 23, 1827 according to the marriage bond published in the "Western Carolinian" on September 25, 1827. They had six children--Alfred Milas (1828-1878), Theophilus E. (born about 1831), William (born about 1834), Adelia (born in 1836), David (born about 1839 and died in the Civil War), and Augustus A. (born on May 14, 1843). Milas died on May 23, 1862 and he is buried in Bethany Presbyterian Church. Frances died before 1850. Vanhoy's History states that Theophilus Dobbins married a Miss Forcum, William a Miss Carlton, and Augustus a Sally Clegg.
