Taken from The History of Rockingham:
HONORABLE ALEXANDER CAMPBELL,! M. D. {Dr. Alexander;^ Reverend John^), was one of the most conspicuous of the early residents ; came to Rockingham as early as 1786, after a brief residence in Sullivan county, New Hampshire, bringing with him his bride, Rhoda, dau. of Oliver Corey, Esq., and his wife, Mary King of Littleton, Mass., Grafton, Vt., and Charlestown, N. H. He settled on a farm in Rockingham,Vermont called "The Plain," about two miles northwest of the village. Here his eldest children were born.

In 1804, he built the family mansion in Rockingham Village, still standing opposite the village hotel, on the corner of the road leading to S. R. It is one of the finest examples of the architecture of 100 years ago, and is still well preserved. Here he spent the remainder of his life except between 1825 and 1830, when he practiced his profession in Charlestown, N. H. At his home hospitality was dispensed with lavish hand.

Dr. Campbell was an eminent physician in his day. Dr. Caverly in his " History of Medicine and Surgery " refers to him : "the son of a distinguished physician of Massachusetts, of the same name, he enjoyed a wide reputation over the southeastern part of Vermont, was the preceptor of many future doctors, and held important offices of trust in his county."

He became an extensive landowner and acquired a handsome fortune. He was chief owner of the Green Mountain Turnpike, and was associated with prominent men of the state in various successful enterprises. In 1806, he was one of the thirteen original directors and incorporators of the Vermont State Bank, chartered that year by the Vermont legislature. He was State Examiner of Banks for Vermont in 1832. Politically, Dr. Campbell and his family were Whigs, and he exerted a strong influence in the councils of his party. He represented R. in the legislatures of 1804, 1806, 1807, 1808. He was associate judge of Windham County court in 1807 and 1809; master-in-chancery for Windham county in 1811, and surgeon of the Vermont militia in 1809.

He was intimately associated with Dr. Samuel Cutler, M.D. in founding Immanuel church ; served as vestryman and warden of the parish and was often delegate to the diocesan conventions. He was a brother of Dr. Edward R. Campbell, "Dr. Ned" of Westminster, the grandfather of the late Dr. Daniel Campbell of S. R. His father was Dr. Alexander Campbell of Oxford, Massachusetts, a member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress in 1774, and his grandfather. Reverend John Campbell of Oxford, was b. in Scotland and was allied with the nobility, Masons, and emigrating to this country and the Province of Massachusetts soon after 1715.
