Biography

It is not known where Tamberlane Campbell was born. It may have been Scotland or perhaps in the New England Colonies.

From The Studholm Report: Tamerlane Campbell has a log cabin and about 2 acres of land cleared, has been on the river about 4 years, but on the lot he now possesses about one year, is a loyal subject and fought under General Carleton, at the attack on Quebec early in the late troubles. Has a wife and five children. We beg leave to recommend him to be confirmed in his possessions.

Tamberlain CAMPBELL^[1][2] appeared on the census in 1770 in Falmouth, Hants County, Nova Scotia. ^[3] Listed as Tamerlain Campbell in Falmouth District, in household with one man, no boys, one woman, two girls, for a total of four people, all of whom were Protestant and all of whom were "American" (born in British North America). He served in the military in 1775/76 in Quebec. He served in the 84th Regiment of Foot under General Carleton, and fought in the defense of Quebec (Fort St.John) against the American rebels. He signed a will on 22 Dec 1818 in Northampton, New Brunswick. ^[4][5]

"Arden Dickenson...came to New Brunswick with his loyalist parents. He claimed 500 acres of land just north of the Campbells. Between his farm and the Campbell's homestead were only two settlers, Alexander Sharp and Anthony Baker, Junior, both son-in-laws of Tamerlan Campbell. Arden became an Anglican especially for his teenage bride and Parson Dibblee recorded the events in his diary..."September 1792; baptized Arden Dickenson of age, and married him to Sally Cammel by Banes."^[6]

Similarly, Tamberlane Campbell Jr. married, second, in January 1816, Elizabeth Snow. Tamberlane Campbell had two daughters, Lydia and Eliza, born respectively about 1809 and 1810, and had no children by his second wife. Obviously, Elizabeth Shea died some time between 1810 and 1816, thirteen to nineteen years before her father executed his will...Elizabeth Shea, probably born not later than 1788, married Tamberlane Campbell Jr. on 30 November 1804, deceased after 1810 but before 1816... Elizabeth Shea, probably born not later than 1788, married Tamberlane Campbell Jr. on 30 November 1804. Elizabeth died somewhere during or after 1810 and before 1816. Tamberlane and Elizabeth Campbell had two daughters:

1. Lydia Campbell, born c1809, married first James Shaw, secondly Oliver Sherwood.
2. Eliza Campbell, born c1810, married on 17 September 1827 John Shaw.
