Research Notes

Birth

Hugh Campbell of Mansfield, Tolland, Connecticut is frequently named as David's father. Several online trees also claim that Hugh Campbell of Mansfield was originally from Galston, Ayrshire, Scotland where he married Mary Patterson on 4 Apr 1706. (Their marriage was recorded in both the parish of Galston and of Dalgain (Sorn), Ayrshire. They were physically married in Dalgain.) This Hugh and Mary Campbell continued to reside in Galston after their marriage and the following baptisms of their children were recorded there:

1. Christiana (bp. 22 Jun 1707) 5. Hew (bp. 24 Oct 1714) 9. Christian (bp. 1 Mar 1724)
2. George (bp. 3 Apr 1709) 6. Helen (bp. 13 Oct 1717) 10. Alexander (bp. 27 Apr 1729)
3. Andrew (bp. 22 Apr 1711) 7. Henry (bp. 30 Aug 1719)
4. Margaret (bp. 30 Nov 1712) 8. Mary (bp. 2 Jul 1721)

There is no record of a son named David.

The first mention of Hugh Campbell in Mansfield, Connecticut is a record of land he purchased on 30 Dec 1725.[18] He is referred to as “Hugh Camell sum time of Loabnon in the County of New London.” The vital records of Lebanon, New London, Connecticut show the marriage of Hugh Camel to Mary Coal on 1 Mar 1716/17.[19]

All of these dates show that Hugh and Mary (Patterson) Campbell of Galston are not the same people as Hugh and Mary (Coal) Campbell of Mansfield. It’s possible that David was Hugh’s child from an earlier marriage or that he was Hugh’s brother, but proof of a relationship between them has not yet been found.

Marriage

Jennet Campbell's maiden name is often given as "Robertson." The only evidence suggesting that was her name seems to be a marriage record of David Campbell to Janet Robertson on 12 Jun 1729 in Edinburgh, Scotland. However, these are not the same David and Jennet that settled in Blandford, Massachusetts by 1739.

The Edinburgh Old Parish Register (6851) contains the record of David Campbell and Janet Robertson's marriage, as well as records of their children:

1. James (b. 17 Mar 1730; bp. 22 Mar 1730; d. 14 May 1732) 5. Alexander (b. 16 Mar 1737; bp. 20 Mar 1737)
2. David (b. 9 Feb 1732; bp. 13 Feb 1732) 6. Archbald (b. 15 Jul 1738; bp. 18 Jul 1738)
3. Daniell (b. 31 Aug 1734; d. 23 Sep 1734) 7. Peter (b. 8 Feb 1741)
4. Daniell (b. 21 Jul 1735) 8. Thomas William (b. 28 May 1743)

These records show that they were still living in Edinburgh several years after 1739.

David & Jennet Campbell of Blandford were likely married around 1733 based on the ages of their children, but it is not currently known where.

Interesting that a Lord David Hugh would emigrate to the new world. Only Lord David is from Cawdor.

Here is a FamilySearch record that looks like David: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVKD-N5F6

True, highly unlikely... as soon as I find Brent's kit and it confirms which haplogroup this is suspected to be, I'll likely end up removing that...

I grabbed the Profile for the CCSNA-FTDNA Campbell DNA Project since there was no profile manager. You might as well add yourself as well since this is your neck of the woods..:) Someone did a great job on this profile i have to say! :) we just need to bring it in line with what we know from the test results.

You all need to put some Y-DNA on this to resolve those issues. A y111 of a claimed descndants from each line would likely confirm or deny the possibility of relationship, in addition to informing us about the likelihhod of a connection to landed Cambpoells in Galston and of Dalgain (Sorn) since we already have kits (at FTDNA) associated with those lineages... the more the merrier. That last issue will never be resolved using autosomnal DNA.

So, anyone named Campbell descnded from these lines should seriouysly consider a Y-DNA kit and joining the Campbell Project at FTDNA so some progress can be made here. (That would apply even more to any Campbells tracing to Ayrshire. Many records were lost during events there and we need some DNA to try fo fill in or imform us about the gaps... )

Attached to Lord David of Cawdor, though I'd disagree.

Just a heads up that I have created a G2G post that concerns David.

I have been compiling research on his nephew Peter's profile because of the uncertainty of the parental relationships for him, Andrew, David, and Hugh.
