- From Pilcher ...
Hugh Campbell's importation was proved June 26, 1740, with his wife, Esther, and two daughters; his will was made in 1771, and probated March 22, 1775, with John Magill one of his executors. The law required emigrants to prove their importation at their own charges, in order to purchase government lands at low rates. All "Importations" mentioned are understood to be "at their own charges." Hugh Campbell, in 1749, was also the executor of the will of William Magill, father of John, and Charles Campbell, brother of Hugh, was a witness. William Magill's land joined that of Charles Campbell, about five miles northeast of "Beverly's Mill Place," now called Staunton, Va. Children of Hugh: William, Hugh, Charles, Robert, Esther, Sarah and Martha. No further record of this family, except to say that Robert's three sons lived within the bounds of Augusta (Old Stone) Church, which was about three miles north from the residence of Charles.
