This John CAMPBELL was doubtless he who is mentioned as having arrived at Perth Amboy about October, 1684, with his wife, three children and several servants. Whitehead assumes that he was a son of Lord Neill CAMPBELL, son of the Marquis and brother of the Earl of Argyle, and who fled to New Jersey to escape bitter persecution in Scotland, remaining here from 1685 until 1687. --- Whitehead's Perth Amboy, 22: Whitehead's East Jersey, 109-170. Wodrow, in his "History of the Sufferings," etc., says of Lord CAMPBELL, under date of 1685: "He was forced to go in the Hazard of his Life to America, and leave his Lady and family behind him." -- Vol. II. (folio ed.) p. 549. But John CAMPBELL was not a son of Lord Neill CAMPBELL--though apparently a kinsman. he was one of the East Jersey Proprietors, a member of the Court of Common Right, and a representative in the General Assembly. He died in the summer of 1680, his will being admitted to probate August 2 of that year. His eldest daughter, Ann, married John STEVENS, of Amboy, the ancestor of the Hoboken family of that name.--N. Y. Gen. and Biog. Record, XVI., 6-10. [[END of East Jersey Deeds section]]
