Mary Campbell's mother, Isabelle Orr married Ephraim Campbell, and they lived 4.5 miles north of Coleraine, in Northern Ireland, which is also 4.5 miles northwest of Ballymoney on the River Bann, 7 miles from Kilrea. Ephraim and Isabelle had ten children, and immigrated to America when the youngest (twin girls, Mary and Margaret) were age 7. Ephraim Campbell died en route and was buried at sea. His widow and children arrived at New York Harbor in 1863. Immigrants then were channeled through the old Castle Harbor, as this was prior to Ellis Island. (Castle Gardens, NYC)
