John and Margaret were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Three children were born to them before they left Tennessee: Archibald, Sarah Margaret, and Andrew J. In 1854 John and Margaret came to Collin County with Jack Faires and Jacob Kirkpatrick, whose wife, Sarah Jane Campbell, was the sister of John Campbell. After arriving, other children were born: Martha Jane, William Alvis, Robert Allen, John Elbert, Mary Eliza, Demmie Ellen and Alice. In 1861 John bought a tract of land 10 miles southeast of McKinney in the Blythe's Chapel community - Winningkoff School District. This home was where they raised their children.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, John joined the Confederate Army, but as he was a miller by trade, it was considered that he would be of more value to the Confederacy following his trade than in the ranks. He was sent back to operate the Fitzhugh Mill while the men of that family were away at war. With the aid of his teenage son, Archibald, John Campbell ground flour for many years. After the war he moved to McKinney where he lived in the family home at 64 South Wilcox Street.
