James McCampbell (1783-1874) was the son of James (1750-1809) & Martha ANDERSON (1757-1838) McCampbell.
He was the grandson of James McCampbell (1720-1786) and Mary Shannon McCampbell. Mary Shannon was the daughter of Samuel Shannon, who was a heroic figure in Ireland's Siege of Londonderry in 1688-89.
During the 1753-1754 timeframe the McCampbell family emigrated from Ireland and settled in an area of Virginia then known as the Borden Grant. Today it is known as the Shenandoah Valley, Rockbridge County, Virginia. From Virginia a large number of them migrated to Knox, Blount and Jefferson counties in Tennessee. Their Anderson family friends traveled with and settled in some of the same areas alongside them.
The McCampbell and Anderson familial ties can be traced back to Ireland's Ulster province. Consequently, the marriages between the two families that followed once they arrived in America make it safe to say that when one is related to this particular McCampbell lineage that they are also related to the Andersons. That, however, did not prevent them from producing a number of highly regarded statesmen, ranchers, judges, doctors, bankers, authors, and other high achievers. America's wars have also greatly benefited from their enlistments.
James served with the Tennessee Militia in the War of 1812. (That war was fought between the United States and its Indigenous allies, and the United Kingdom, its dependent colonies in North America, Indigenous allies, and Spain. The war began in June of 1812 and ended in February of 1815.)
James married Elizabeth "Betsy" INGRAM in Knox County, Tennessee. The marriage was solemnized by John M. Campbell, VDM (Minister of the Word of God) on 01 April 1819.
