Napoleon Bonaparte Campbell was born in Adair County, Kentucky to John Newton Campbell and Margaret Jane Loveall. He married Martha Delpha "Delphia" Hadley on April 3, 1890 in Columbia, Adair County, Kentucky. Five of their seven children were born there. They moved from Kentucky with a group of family members in five covered wagons and settled in Wentworth, Missouri ca. 1898. They had a daughter born there in 1900. They moved to Oklahoma by 1903 and settled in first Logan and then Wagoner County where their youngest child was born in 1907. They stayed in Wagoner County till moving to Silverton, Oregon between 1940 and 1943, where he died of a stroke at the age of 80. Most of his children made their homes there.

Napoleon had red hair and blue eyes. My grandmother said that is was so red that it looked like it would bleed if you broke a hair. When he was young, his hair fell out as the result of a fever. When it grew back it was more ginger, resulting in the nickname of Rusty. He bestowed that hair color on several of his great-grandchildren.
