| 553 | His grandfather was the natural son of SIr John Campbell of Cawdor. (History of the Campbells, Vol. 3, page 328) http://www.electricscotland.com/history/sweden/18.htm Colin Campbell lived in London 1720-23, and was involved in the transactions that led to the South Sea Bubble. He appears to have fled when the bubble burst and is next to be found in Ostend. 1723-30 he worked, largely as super-cargo, in the Austrian East India Company, which was based in that city. This company was a clear attempt to compete with the British East India Company, and many Scots were engaged in the enterprise. It did not, however, prove the success that the Emperor had expected, and Campbell left it a couple of years before its liquidation. The next similar attempt was to be made from Sweden. In 1730 we meet Colin Campbell for the first time in Sweden, to which he had been called by the powerful Gothenburg merchant Nikias Sahlgren to assist in the formation of the Swedish East India Company. It is difficult to determine whether it was Sahlgren or Campbell who took the initiative originally but the latter clearly played a dominant role in the Swedish company from the very beginning. In 1730 Campbell was in Stockholm, but in the following year he settled in Gothenburg, where he lived until his death. He applied for Swedish citizenship on 14th June 1731, and we learn from his application that he was born in June 1686, and regarded himself as a member of the noble family of Argyll through the Campbells of Cawdor. From 1731 until his death he was a director of the new company. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Colin Campbell, evidently belonging to the noble house of Argyle, became in 1731 a Swedish nobleman and director of the Swedish East India Company established with the consent of the Estates in Gottenburg. Other members of the family appear to have still earlier resided in Sweden, as, for example, Robert Campbell, who was naturalized 1736, and a Maria Campbell, of a noble Scottish family, who was married to Count Herman Cedercreutz, Member of the State Council, who died in 1754, when she became the owner of the hereditary estate of Kjuloholm in Finland. | Campbell, Colin of Gothenburg (I4333)

He joined the Scots Greys regiment, then commanded by his relation, General Campbell, and served in two campaigns. After the battle of Dettingen, at which he took part, he had an opportunity of being appointed quartermaster, however he could not raise the required sum of money and it went to another. He left the army and went back to Scotland in 1745, where Lord Loudoun, a relation, was in command of the loyal Highlanders and Mungo fought with him. After the battle of Culloden, Lord Loudoun arranged for him to be appointed in 1746 as an excise officer In Newmilns, then Stewarton, afterwards Irvine and finally Saltcoats | Campbell, Mungo (I7030)

| 587 | http://home.teleport.com/~grafe/Pearsalls/Pearsalls/Campbell.html "Sometime after the death of his father and mother Duncan Pearsall Campbell became entitled to a share of his deceased grandfather's estate in Scotland. So he forwarded a paper entitled, A statement of the claim of Duncan Pearsall Campbell of New York, son of Major Patrick Campbell, late of the 71st Regiment of Foot who was the son of Duncan Campbell of Barcaldine, the grandfather of the present proprietor. Walter Barrett in his "Old Merchants of New York" says: "I had prepared a sketch of Mr. Duncan Pearsall Campbell, about six months ago. It was very imperfect, and knowing him personally, I thought I would some day or other fall in with him-show what I had written, and get some points from himself. I took time to accomplish my purpose, for I thought that I had noticed that Mr. Campbell had been shy of me, since he ascertained that I was the author of these recollections. The last time I saw him was in Chamber St. near Center Street. He complimented me on one of the chapters that he had recently read. I remarked: Some day when you are at leisure, I want to talk over old matters. Any time was his reply, as he passed on. Anytime! Don't hold good with a man who is eighty years old, and shortly I read to my amazement and also deep regret:" Died-on Saturday November 9 th 1861, Duncan Pearsall Campbell, in the 80th year of his age" Very few of the people in the present city of New York will recognize this name or know anything about Mr. Campbell. Yet he was a great man in this city in his day. Of late years he had hardly been known to take an active part in public affairs. For twenty years he had frequented a place called The Grotto, at 114 Cedar Street, kept either by Barnard or by Patrick Reilly since 1840. I dare say he has spent two or three hours every fair day in the place, and drank one or perhaps two mugs of the unrivaled old beer kept in the establishment. At about mid-day in fine weather, anyone on Broadway could see a pale-faced man turn into Liberty Street from Broadway, reading carefully, a shadow of the past, eyeing suspiciously any face in a town where once, but more than half a century ago, he knew everybody. When he got safely into Liberty Street he passed down by Temple Street into Trinity place turned the corner and kept on until he reached Cedar Street, when he looked anxiously at the place where stood a little two story building kept by Reilly, as if fearful that that too, like a thousand other things he had seen, might have passed away or been moved up town. So methodical was this old New Yorker, that I do not think, in going to or from his favorite spot to home he ever varied a hair from one route. He was aged and yet dignified in his bearing until the last hour of his existence, although of late years he was very feeble. Many will recollect his old residence at No. 51 Broadway part way between Morris and Rector Streets. His doorplate had his name upon it in heavy commercial letters Duncan P. Campbell. He had lived in that house from 1810 to 1850 when he moved up town to 138 Second Avenue. In early life Mr. Campbell married a daughter of William Bayard, and was himself a partner of the house of LeRoy Bayard & Co., in the days of its greatest glory."

| 598 | http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Business/Merchant/Greek18.html THE PEARSALLS The father of Duncan P. Campbell was an officer in the British Army that was sent out in the Revolution. He belonged to a Highland regiment, and was billeted in the house of an old Quaker, Thomas Pearsall, at No. 203 Queen street (above Franklin Square, in Pearl street.) There he became acquainted with the beautiful and demure Quakeress, Miss Pearsall. Old Thomas would have as soon consented to the marriage of his daughter with a Calmuck Tartar as with a Highlander, or a British officer. The result was a runaway match. Of course the parties were forgiven, but neither husband or wife lived long after she gave birth to a son, who was Duncan Pearsall Campbell. Old Thomas adopted the son and brought him up as his own. Old Thomas Pearsall's son, Thomas, married Fanny Buchanan, of whom I have spoken. Young Tom was the companion of Duncan P., and they were like brothers. He went to Europe and traveled some years, and among other exploits got a party of six high on champagne in the dome of St. Peter's. He was a fine young fellow____died many years ago. Mrs. Pearsall is still living in Waverley place. One of his daughters married Samuel Bradhurst, the eldest son of John M. Bradhurst. What a biography can be made of old John M. Bradhurst. I will do it some day. In the latter years of his life he lived out beyond Manhattanville. He had three sons, Samuel, William, and Henry. Samuel died. I never knew what became of William, or whether he is dead or alive. I have not seen him for eighteen years. MR. DUNCAN P. CAMPBELL (continue) I now return to Duncan P. Campbell. After reading my first chapter, I find that I have given an account of the Greek frigate in a way that would lead the reader to suppose he had something to do with it. I did not so intend it. I do not believe a purer man ever lived in this city than Mr. Campbell. His connection with Mr. William Bayard, Senior, led me to speak of that house. Mr. Campbell was not a partner. Old Mr. Bayard's name was used, but I do not think he had much to do with the management of the affairs of LeRoy, Bayard & Co. On the contrary, when the final award was agreed to, the name of old William Bayard, Sept. 9, 1826, was signed "by his attorney, Robert Bayard." It must have worried his mind very much. He died a few weeks after the award was made | Pearsall, Thomas (I3787)

He was the youngest son of the fourth duke of Argyll, became a captain in the British navy on 20 August, 1762, member of parliament in 1764, and was governor of Nova Scotia from 1766 till 1773. He had married, in 1763, Sarah Izard, a wealthy lady of South Carolina, sister of Ralph Izard, a well-known patriot, and in 1774 was appointed royal governor of that province. He entered on his duties in June, 1775, and was cordially welcomed by the people, 516 CAMPBELL for whom he professed great attachment. They soon found, however, that he was active in fomenting insurrectionary movements favorable to the crown among the border population and the red men, and the popular indignation against him increased daily. After he saw that preparations for resistance were going on steadily, and that the public military stores had been secured by the patriots, he took refuge on board a British man-of-war, where he was joined by his wife. In this vessel he threatened the City of Charleston, but the guns of Fort Johnson forced him to retreat. After sailing to Jamaica, he returned in the following year, and was mortally wounded on board the "Bristol" during the attack on Fort Moultrie. An Historical Account of the Settlements of Scotch Highlanders in America Prior to the Peace of 1783 Together with Notices of Highland Regiments and Biographical Sketches, by J. P. MacLean, 2008 Lord William Campbell was the youngest son of the 4th duke of Argyle. He entered the navy, and became a captain August 20, 1762, when he was put in command of the Nightingale, of twenty guns. In May 1763, he married Sarah, daughter of Ralph Izard, of Charleston, South Carolina, and in 1764, was elected to represent Argyleshire in parliament. On November 27, 1766 he became governor of Nova Scotia, whose affairs he administered until 1773, when he was transferred to the government of South Carolina, in which province he arrived in June 1775, during the sitting of the first Provincial Congress, which presented him a congratulatory address, but he refused to acknowledge that body. For three months after his arrival he was undisturbed, though indefatigable in fomenting opposition to the popular measures; but in September, distrustful of his personal safety, and leaving his family behind, he retired on board the Tamar sloop-of-war, where he remained, although invited to return to Charleston. Lady Campbell was treated with great respect, but finally went on board the vessel, and was landed at Jamaica. In the attack on the city of Charleston, in June 1776, under Sir Henry Clinton, lord Campbell served as a volunteer on board the Bristol, on which occasion he received a wound that ultimately proved mortal. Presumably he returned with the fleet and died September 5, 1778. Caroline seems to the only confirmed daughter. | Campbell, William Captain (I0312)

This event caused Campbell to write the home authority asking permission to grant 400 acres to his new born son "as a kind Mementory information to him, thereafter, that he drew his first breath in this province." (As quoted by Brebner in The Neutral Yankees, p. 204.) Melinda Rockwell (melinda_rockwell@coralwave.com) is researching this line. She writes as follows: The grandson of the 4th Duke of Argyll, son of Lord William and Lady Sarah Campbell, William Conway Campbell was my 5th great grandfather, I have just uncovered that he was declared a lunatic in 1819 by his first cousin the 6th Duke of Argyll, the future 7th Duke of Argyll, his brother in law Sir Alexander Johnston and his sister Louisa. He left his wife, daughter and property in South Carolina and in 1813 went back to London. He was raised at Park Place Remenham with Lady Ailesbury his aunt. Horace Walpole was there each weekend. My documents show the english family hired a power of attorney to sell the Campbell land in South Carolina and Catherine the daughter of the lunatic inherited some land held for her by her step father (from her father William Campbell). Originally I was looking for proof of the middle name or that he had a daughter- now I see through ancestry.com that he died in Wandsworth, where there is an institution for paupers. A Lord Seymour is the head of the area mental health and he would have been a cousin. I also see that there are many many entries of William Conway Campbell in Times London from 1788 on. He is buried i understand at St. Mary's Paddington, but the rector has never responded to my email, perhaps I have the wrong address. I have a copy of the death certificate from Oct. 1856, when he died at Clapham Retreat Asylum Wandsworth. No mention that he had a daughter in South Carolina, though I have seen "left no male issue" written. So far, no English peerage has indicated a marriage, or a child of a union of William Conway Campbell. | Campbell, William Conway (I0315)
