John Campbell - 1827-1913

(From History of Houston County, edited by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge: published 1919 by H. C. Cooper, Jr. & Co., Winona, Minnesota)

John Campbell, the first settler in Money Creek Valley, an early miller and farmer, was born in Scotland, January 1, 1827, and settled in Houston County, Minnesota, in the fall of 1852, after a previous residence in West Salem, Wisconsin. In the following year he built a feed and a flouring mill, which he operated for nine year, or until 1862, when he sold the mill and business and engaged in farming. In the latter occupation he continued on the same farm for over forty-five years, in 1908 retiring from active work and taking up his residence in the village of Houston. He was formerly active in church and school work and at various times served in local office.

Mr. Campbell married Elizabeth Hemstock, who was born in England, August 12, 1829. They have been the parents of nine children, seven of whom were born in Money Creek township, this county. All attended school in Houston County. The record in brief is as follows:

One who died in infancy;

Edward G., now living retired in Houston;

Hattie, deceased;

James, who is engaged in the machinery business in LaCrosse;

Belle who is the widow of H. B. Keeler and resides in Montana;

William, engaged in the newspaper business in Milwaukee;

Benjamin, proprietor of a business college in Jackson, Michigan; and

Lucy, formerly a teacher, who resides in Houston with her brother.

John Campbell, Pioneer Settler

First Settlers:

John Campbell and Nathan Vance, who had been living in Wisconsin, made several excursions through this region in search of an eligible mill site, and finally in the early spring of 1853, Mr. Campbell located 320 acres of land, which afterwards provbed to be in section twelve, and included what is now the village of Money Creek, and the site of a flouring mill. Campbell was a native of Scotland, coming to America at the age of five years.

On arriving here, while prospecting, and after locating the claim, Vance and himself occupied an abandoned wigwam or "tepee" as the Winnebagoes called them. On one occasion, not long after their coming, they were quite badly frightened by a sudden eruption of Indians, who came yelling and whooping in a most blood-curdling and hair-elevating way, but this proved to be an energetic trick on their part, as they made no further hostile demonstrations, and after receiving a few trifling presents, they peacefully withdrew.

As spring advanced, Mr. Campbell broke about fifteen acres, put in corn and potatoes, and also put up a shanty, remaining on the ground a part of the season, being at that time the only man in town and, "Monarch of all he surveyed." Late in the fall he returned to Wisconsin. The next winter, toward spring, in 1854, he returned here with his family, bringing cows, oxen, hogs, etc., and reoccupied his shanty.

He soon began the erection of a mill but did not push it very vigorously, or to completion at once, preferring to wait until the land should regularly be in the market, that he might be certain of a clear title to the premises. After it was completed it was not unlike, as to its primitive characteristics, most of the mills first erected in this region. It had no bolting arrangements, and but a single run of stones. But when the neighborhood had begun to have settlers who had succeededed in raising grain, they resorted to this mill, and the circle kept widening until from far and near they came, crowding it to its utmost capacity, and some of them would have to wait one or two days for their grinds, and after filling his log house, the overflow would sleep in the mill.

After the land was opened up for sale the claim was puchased by Mr. Campbell. The mill was not completed until after that time, but it answered its purpose for a number of years and was most valuable to the whole community. It is a pleasure to record the fact that Mr. Campbell still resides in town....

Manufacturing: The first mills erected in town have already been alluded to, and include the grist mill of Mr. Campbell, put here in 1854, and the sawmill the following year. This latter contained a single sash saw, and was kept in operation about fifteen years. In 1859, Mr. Campbell put up a flouring mill opposite the old one, with one run of stones, a smutter and bolter. In 1861 this mill was sold.....

Money Creek Village: During the autumn of 1856, the village was platted by Mr. John Campbell, the first lot being sold to Mr. Stolls, who erected a tavern and kept it for several years....

Money Creek Township is located in the extreme northwest corner of Houston County. Houston County is located in the extreme southeast corner of Minnesota.

From Mary Anne Hrubesky:

Scottish Roots - The Duncan Campbells

Several further details of the Duncan Campbell family while in Scotland have been found using the IGI - the International Genealogical Index - searching through the "batch numbers" (groupings of marriages and christenings) of various Scottish counties. Clues as to where to look were provided by ancestors of John and Janet Campbell, children of Duncan and Elizabeth Campbell, who had settled in Houston County, Minnesota.

1. Elizabeth's maiden name has been given as "Tange." This was apparently provided by her son John and appeared on his death certificate.

2. Janet Campbell, daughter of Elizabeth and Duncan, was listed as being born in Crieff, Perth, Scotland.

The following information will now be used for the following:

«u»Duncan Campbell «/u»

He was born in Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland. His date of "christening" and parents are either...
16 Jan 1796 Parents John Campbell and Anne Campbell or
16 Oct 1796 Parents John Campbell and Janet McIntosh

«u»Elizabeth Campbell«/u»

She was born in Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland. Her date of "christening" is
12 Jul 1795 Parents James Tainsh and Betty Taylor
Note: "Tainsh" is is believed to be her maiden name. The "Tange" given by her son is very close to this and, indeed, sounds much like it.

«u»Marriage:«/u» Duncan Campbell to Betty Tainsh on 13 Jan 1822 in Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland.

«u»Their Children«/u» - born in Criefdf, Perthshire, Scotland

#1 - Elizabeth - christened 8 Dec 1822 Parents Duncan Campbell and Betty Tainsh
#2 - Janet - christened 5 Oct 1824 Parents Duncan Campbell and Betty Tainsh

Three more children were born in Scotland. No further records have been discovered.
