Notes

James and Patrick Campbell were sent to Glasgow and Edinburgh, James to have a medical education and Patrick to be educated for the ministry. They got their degrees in due course of time and decided they must also go to America. It was about 1848 that they came to Franklin, Tennessee, where the brothers had already settled.

James did not like "America" and soon decided to go "back home," so he packed his kit and went back to Ireland and Drumaboden. He soon got an appointment as surgeon in the British Navy. He went away in H.M.S. vessel and they cruised in the Carribean Sea. He then took sick and died and is buried on the Island of
Trinedad on the north coast of South America. His death was a hard blow to the Campbells of Drumaboden.

If you have a DNA test and a family tree in the form of a GEDCOM please consider a submission to the Project so we can obtain the widest coverage possible for Campbell related lineages.

Also if you have time to volunteer, we are seeking people to help us verify and correct submissions, generally date formats, place name conventions, sources citations etc. The Project also needs help at Wikitree. If interested just use the contact form and let us know!

A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship or descent. Little doubt there was a progenitor who was first known as “Cam Beul”. Eventually one of the families associated with that name would become the Chiefs of the Clan. A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship or descent.

However, it should be clear from the beginning of our research that no one family has every made up a “clan”.
