His father was associated with the Prophet Joseph

Smith, and worked as a carpenter on the

construction of the Kirtland Temple. The

Campbells were driven with the Saints from

Kirtland in 1845 and went to Nauvoo, Illinois

where they spent one winter.

n 1846 the Campbell family left Nauvoo with the

Saints and began their westward exodus. They

stopped first in Mount Pisgah where several of

the family died including Joel Campbell, brother

of Benoni, 11 August 1846. His name is among the

few that are listed on the historical marker at

that place.

From Mount Pisgah the Campbell family moved on to

Council Bluffs where Benoni's brother Jonathan

and his(Benoni) son Samuel enlisted into the

Mormon Battalion on 16 July 1846. Benoni and Mary

were never to see either of them again in their

life. see:

Samuel was the nephew of U.S. Mormon battalion

companion Jonathan Campbell. After joining the

battalion, he was never to see his parents again,

as they died of cholera on the trail near Salt

Creek, Nebraska in their journey toward Salt

Lake. vt.
