Duncan CAMPBELL

[41754]

Family 1 :
  1. +John CAMPBELL

INDEX

[41754] The unverified Owen file in Ancestry.com in 2016 offers: "Duncan Campbell was born in 1645 in Donegal, Ireland. He married Mary McCoy in 1650 in Ireland. . . . . He died in 1727 having lived a long life of 82 years. Mary McCoy was born in 1648 in Argyll, the child of William and Agnes . . . . She died in 1705 at the age of 57. William McCoy was born in 1620 in Argyll. He had [a] daughter with Agnes Campbell in 1648. He died in 1680 at the age of 60. Agnes Campbell was born in 1627. She had one daughter with William McCoy in 1648. She died as a young mother in 1650 at the age of 23." [There is obviously something wrong with his information, as Duncan surely did NOT marry at age 5!] Ancestry.com offers: "Campbell Name Meaning - Scottish: nickname from Gaelic cam 'crooked', 'bent' + beul 'mouth'. The surname was often represented in Latin documents as de bello campo 'of the fair field', which led to the name sometimes being 'translated' into Anglo-Norman French as Beauchamp. In New England documents, Campbell sometimes occurs as a representation of the French name Hamel."

"Centennial History of Summit County, Ohio and Representative Citizens (Chicago: Biographical Publishing Co., 1908), p. 585: " Harvey A. Myers, a well known farmer and stock dealer of Norton Township, was born on the excellent farm of eighty acres on which he now resides, Dec. 29, 1853, son of Alpheus and Salome (Myers) Myers.

Alpheus Myers was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, July 10, 1818, and in boyhood accompanied his father, Henry Myers, to a farm near Wooster, Ohio. Later, Henry Myers, with all his family except Alpheus, removed to Indiana, where he died. Alpheus Myers came to Summit County April, 1846, where he purchased the 80-acre farm now owned and operated by his son, Harvey. He later bought the Sherman farm of 140 acres, and during the Civil War he further increased the extent of his property by purchasing a farm of 100 acres situated across the road from where he lived and which was called the Mosier farm. In addition to these farms he owned one of 140 acres in Missouri. He also drilled and found coal and opened the mine, known as the Myers mine in Wadsworth Township, Medina County. He was a man of excellent business qualifications, and during the Civil war made a large amount of money in buying and shipping horses for the government. He was a highly respected citizen of Norton Township and died Mar. 1, 1878. His death was the result of an accident. He was about to make a business trip to the west and also visit his aged mother. While waiting at the Wadsworth station, engaged in conversation with a friend, he accidentally stepped in front of a moving train and was instantly killed.

Alpheus Myers married Salome Myers, who survived him many years, dying in October, 1900. They had six children, the youngest of whom, Owen, died Oct. 7, 1905. The others were as follows: William H., residing in Akron; Mary, wife of Isaac Tinsman, and a resident of Akron; Lavina, who married Solomon Kraver, and resides in Medina County; Josepha, residing in Medina County, who married (first) Septimus Siberling, and moved to Iowa, where he died, and (second) Jacob Slamker who she survives; and Harvey A., of Norton Township.

Harvey A. Myers was reared in his native place and has always resided on his fine, old farm, where he successfully carries on general farming and stock-dealing, making a specialty of cows. He attended the district schools during his boyhood, and is a man of much general information, keeping himself abreast of the times, as the modern farmer has to do to enjoy a full measure of prosperity.

Mr. Myers married Alice B. Miller, a daughter of Frank Miller, of Norton Township, and they have a family of eight children, namely: Frank, married and residing in Akron; Fred, who married Emma Weaver and resides at home with his parents; Sadie, who is the wife of Charles Messner, and has one child, Florence; Mattie, who married William Helnick, and has one child, Floy; Hattie, who married Elmer Hall and has one child, Harold; and Elsie, Vernie and Chloe. Mr. and Mrs. Myers have their children settled around them, or still remaining under the home roof, and have never yet been called on to part with any of them. The family is one well known all through Norton Township.
