Biography

Hester was the daughter of Preserved and Hester Cunnabell who came to Nova Scotia in 1749.

Samuel Cunnabell was son of John Cunnabell of London, England, who came to Massachusetts in 1674, and served in Captain Turner's Company in King Phillip's War. (See Cunnabell Genealogy). Preserved Cunnabell was one of a number of New Englanders who removed to Nova Scotia soon after the founding of Halifax, and in 1752 according to a census return for that year was living in North Suburbs, Halifax, with family described as: Two males over sixteen years, two females over sixteen, two females under sixteen. His wife Hester was probably relative of one Stephen Windom residing same year with family in South Suburbs, Halifax.

It was about 1779 that Mr. Campbell came to the St. John River and settled, as we have seen, near the Maugerville colony. He sold his share of the timber land on Oromocto to Samuel Peabody. The committee of 1783 further reported to Major Studholme that Mr.Campbell had at that date "a wife and five children." The wife was Hester, daughter of Preserved and Hester (Windom) Cunnabell, and after his marriage they lived for a while at Windsor, N.S. Preserved Cunnabell was born in Boston in 1727, son of Samuel Cunnabell by second wife Mary, daughter of William Wilson and wife Mary Pierce.
