According to an obituary found in a Campbell Family Bible, John Campbell immigrated from Ireland and became a naturalized citizen in New York in 1834 and was in Guadalupe County, Texas, in 1837. He was recorded there on the 1850 Census as a carpenter and built the first part of this log cabin that year. He returned to his homeland in 1851 and returned with a number of his relatives, including his brother Peter, whose family would live in the cabin for generations.
John married Canzada Faver on 15 March 1855, in Guadalupe County. Her brother William Nail Faver had moved his own family as well as his widowed mother Susan Kerr Faver and three unmarried sisters from St. Clair County, Alabama, to Guadalupe County. John built a similar log cabin for his own family, which increased to include eight children: Georgia Anna; William J.; Ara Augusta; Susan Mary; John, Jr.; James Patrick; Peter E. and Charles L. Campbell. On the 1860, 1870 and 1880 Censuses, John was listed as a stockman and farmer in Guadalupe Co., TX. Canzada's mother lived out her life with her daughter's family. John then Canzada also finished their days and were buried there, though in different cemeteries.
