Biography

Henry was born in 1826. He is the son of Joseph Campbell and Rachel Martin. He was in the 1st Tennessee Regiment in the Mexican-American War, which earned him a pension and also earned his wife Angeline a widow's pension.^[1][2][3] In 1850 he is shown owning 2 female slaves.^[4] During the American Civil War he was a Confederate and enlisted in Company H, 24th Tennessee Infantry, enlisting 1 Aug. 1861, as a 1st Sergeant and later Captain.^[5][6][7][8] Company H was from Hickman County, Tennessee, and would later be consolidated with Company I on May 2, 1862, at which point Henry C. Campbell does not seem to appear in the records of the regiment anymore, suggesting he was mustered out.^[9]

Find a grave claims that he enlisted 24 Aug. 1861, as 1st Sergeant, and was promoted Captain 10 Dec. 1861, and wounded in leg at the Battle of Shiloh, before being sent to Corinth, Mississippi with the regiment.^[10] A article in Confederate Veteran magazine appears to confirm that he was 1st Sgt. at one point: " J.H. CLARK, of Lubbock, Tex., would like to hear from any of the old comrades of the 24th regiment, Tennessee Volunteers, Co H. The colonel of this regiment was R.D. ALLISON. The captain of Co. H was C.W. BEAL and his first sergeant was H.C. CAMPBELL. Company H was afterwards consolidated and became Co. I. The second first sergeant was JOE HOLMES and J.H. CLARK was the third first sergeant. He enlisted at Nashville on July 22, 1861."^[11]
