JAMES CAMPBELL, son of Henry Campbell (the youngest of the five sons who emigrated from Ireland)
and Janet Mack, who was born on the ocean, was born in Londonderry; enlisted in the Continental
service for three years during the war in 1777; was wounded in the battle of Stillwater.  After 
peace was declared in 1783, he removed to Acworth, having purchased his farm in 1781.  He was 
much employed as a surveyor and conveyancer; kept school in various places in the winter from
1873to 1791.  He was often in office in town, as will be seen by reference to the list of town 
officers.  The accuracy, with which he kept the town records, and his penmanship, were 
remarkable for the times.  He was elected Register of Deeds in the County of Cheshire in 1803. 
Held the office by successive re-elections until his death, in 1825, without opposition.  His 
son Lewis held it in the same manner from his father's death until 1836, at which time he 
resigned on account of ill health.
