This is one of the WHEELWRIGHT English surnames taken from occupa- tions. The family was known especially in Lincolnshire, though scattered in other coun- ties. A Walter Wheelwright is found on the Hundred Rolls, and Alain Quelewrighte on the Wills and Inventories. In this country the orthography of the name has not been much varied.
(I) Rev. John Wheelwright, emigrant an- cestor, was son of Robert, of Saleby, a well- to-do Lincolnshire yeoman, and his wife Kath- erine, and was born in 1594. He was styled "a gentleman of learning, piety and zeal" when he landed in Boston, Massachusetts, May 26, 1636. He was a graduate of Sydney- Sussex College, Cambridge, and took his de- grees 1614 and 1618. He was contemporary with Oliver Cromwell, and Cotton Mather wrote as to college athletics that "when Wheelwright was a young spark at the Uni-
2163
STATE OF MAINE.
versity he was noted for more than an or- dinary stroke at wrestling," and that "on one occasion, when Cromwell had been describing Wheelwright to gentlemen about him, he added that he remembered the time when he had been more afraid of meeting him at foot- ball than of meeting an army since in the field." Rev. John married, at Bilsby, county Lincolnshire, England, November 8, 1621, Marie, daughter of Rev. Thomas Storer, who died in England, 1630. Her husband had been presented with the vicarage at Bilsby Hamlet, adjoining Alford, and retained it from 1621 to 1631. He married (second) about 1631, Mary, daughter of Edward and Susanna Hutchinson, of Alford, county Lin- coln, sister of the noted Ann Hutchinson. They were admitted to the church at Boston soon after their arrival on June 12, 1636. They were accompanied to England by her mother, Susanna (Hutchinson), and his brother-in-law, Augustine Storer, brother of his first wife. Rev. John was well received and became pastor of the Wolaston church. His zeal brought him into prominent notice and soon caused turbulent outbreaks now a matter of well-known history, as well as his sentence of banishment which followed. He had purchased land of Indians in 1638, and started the settlement of Exeter, where he re- mained three years, being under sentence of banishment, but Exeter being still under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, he removed with his family to Wells, Maine. His sentence was revoked by the general court in 1644, and he was restored to the freedom of the colony. He became the colleague of Rev. M. Dalton, of Hampton, New Hampshire, 1647-58, then was called to England for a time, and on his return settled as pastor of the church at Salis- bury, Massachusetts. He died November 15, 1679, aged eighty-five years. His will, May 25, 1675, proved November 26, 1679, be- queathed to his son and grandchildren lands in England. Children of Rev.

The surname Campbell is CAMPBELL said to be of Norman or- igin, from a family called De Campo Bello. Skene says no such Nor- man name is to be found, but it is known that the Beauchamps family thus Latinized their name. The Campbells are distinctively Scotch, -of course, the oldest spelling of the name being found in the Ragman's Roll, A. D. 1296, as Cambel, or Kambel. The two great branches of the Campbell family were dis- tinguished as MacArthur and MacCailinmor. If the De Campo Bello theory be true, the name is a synonym of Fairfield and Beau- champs. Some Gaelic etymologists derive the name from cambeul (pronounced cam-pal), which means "crooked-mouth," and if this is the origin of the Campbell family the origin was doubtless a nickname of some powerful progenitor whose family became powerful. Whether the origin is Norman or Gaelic, how- ever, the clan bearing the name of Campbell became the most numerous and powerful in
the Highlands, and formerly, under their chiefs, the earls, marquises and dukes of Ar- gyle, they could muster five thousand fight- ing men who were constantly in array against influence and power and the dread of them by other clans that we owe the disparaging proverb, "Like a Campbell, ever fair and false." By the Highlanders the clan Camp- bell is called Clan Duine, and their chiefs have always been styled Mac-Calean-Mohr (not MacCallum More, as Sir Walter Scott has it), meaning the son of Colin the Great, in memory of their distinguished ancestor, Sir Colin Campbell, of Lochow, who in the thir- teenth century laid the foundation of the greatness of the family. This name is abund- ant in the province of Ulster. It is some- where recorded that a Scotch regiment quar- tered at Carrickfergus in the seventeenth cen- tury contained no less than one hundred and ten John Campbells. (Ulster Journal of Arch. No. 20.) Many of the American families are descended from this Ulster branch of the Campbells. Before 1300 the Campbell family was prominent in Argyleshire, Perthshire, Banffshire, and elsewhere in Scotland. The family holds the dukedom of Argyle; the mar- quisates of Lorne and Kintyre; earldoms of Athol, Bredalbane, Caithness, Campbell, Cowal, Irwin, Isla (or Ilay) and Loudoun ; viscountcies of Lochow, Glenisla, Glenorchy and Taymouth; lordships of Arrois, Benedo- raloch, Denoon, Inverary, Lundie, Mauchlane, Morvern, Mull, Ormlie, Oronsay, Plaintland, Tyrie and Wick.
(I) Alexander Campbell, immigrant ances- tor, came probably from the north of Ireland when a young man. He was in the town of St. George (upper town) in 1757, in the company of Captain John North, serving in the French and Indian war. In 1755 he was sergeant in Captain Thomas Phillips' company ("Annals of Warren," p. 103.) He was also in Captain Jabez Beadley's company at Fort St. George in 1757 ("Annals of Warren," p. 106). He settled in St. George.
(II) John Gray Campbell, grandson or great-grandson of Sergeant Alexander Camp- bell, was born in St. George, Maine.
(III) Archibald, son of John Gray Camp- bell, was born in St. George, June 26, 1832. He received his education there in the com- mon schools. He engaged in trade and lum- bering at St. George when a young man. In 1872 he removed to Bath, where for eight years he was engaged in the lumber trade, and then removed to Hallowell, where he continued the same line of business, and was

. also in the employ of the Kennebec Light & .Heat Company. He is now a collector for the Kennebec Light & Heat Company of Au- gusta. He is an Episcopalian in religion. He married Sarah L., daughter of Josiah Wet- more. Children : Manning S., mentioned be- low; Margaret E., married George B. King, of Augusta ; Florence A., married Charles W. Jones, of Lynn, Massachusetts.
(IV) Manning Skinner, son of Archibald Campbell, was born in St. George, New Brunswick, Canada. He was educated in the public schools of that town and at the Dirigo Business College of Augusta. He then re- moved to Bath and engaged in the lumber trade with his father. After two years, in 1878, they went to Bowdoinham, Maine, in the same line of business. During one winter Mr. Campbell was clerk for W. H. Gray & Company, at Fabyans, New Hampshire, and then entered the employ of Elias Milliken & Sons, Hallowell. A year later he was ap- pointed grocery clerk at the Maine State In- sane Hospital at Augusta, became chief clerk, and in July, 1890, steward and treasurer of the institution, positions he has filled to the present time. He has charge of the financial affairs of the entire institution, disbursing a quarter of million dollars yearly. He has the supervision of construction of new buildings and additions. He is a member of Augusta Lodge of Free Masons; of Cushnoc Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; of Alpha Council, Royal and Select Masters; of Trinity Commandery, Knights Templar; of Maine Consistory; of the Grand Chapter and the General Grand Commandery. He is a noble of Lewiston Temple, Mystic Shrine. He is also a mem- ber of Augusta Lodge, B. P. O. Elks, of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston, and Augusta Grange, Patrons of Hus- bandry. He married Christine N. Erskine, daughter of A. B. Erskine. They have no children.
The derivation of this name is VEAZIE said to be local, meaning "wet or fenny land near the water, subject to inundation"; Vosey, another form, "the ditch or fort near the water." Robert de Veci "assisted William I. at the Conquest of England, and was rewarded with estates of great extent in the counties of Northampton, Leicester, Warwick and Lincoln." Iro or John Veschi was his near kinsman, and from him in the female line descended Lord Vasey. A branch of the family in the Irish peerage bears the title of Viscount de Vesci.
(I) William Veazie, the immigrant ances- tor, was probably born in England about 1616, and was made freeman of Braintree, Massa- chusetts, May 10, 1643. He married about this time, Elinor, called in his will "Ellen." In 1651 he bought a house and land, and re- sided in Braintree until his death, June 16, 1681, "aged sixty-five years," as described on his gravestone. His will, dated June 30, was probated July 27, 1681, mentions wife Ellen, sons William, Solomon and Samuel, and daughters Hannah Greenleaf, Abigail Tayre, Ellen, Mehitabel and Mercy Veazy. The chil- dren recorded are: Hannah, born 18, I mo., 1644, married 26, 7 mo., 1665, John Green- leaf; William, 6, 8 mo., 1647; Solomon, 3, 2 mo., 1650; Elizabeth, 13, 8 mo., 1653 ; Sam- uel, 24, 6 mo., 1656; Ellen, 4, 3 mo., 1659, married, February 20, 1686, Stephen Paine; Mehitable, 17, 12 mo., 1665; Mercy, 20, II mo., 1669, married, April 24, 1690, John Rug- gles. Elinor, widow of William Veazie, en- tered into a marriage contract July 8, 1683, with John French, of Braintree, wherein said French "agreed not to meddle with any part of the estate wherein she is invested by her former husband," and she was "to have what she pleases for spending, and a place for a garden plot."

He was twice married ; Deborah was daugh- ter of the second wife Joanna, and was born in Braintree, October 16, 1689. Her father's maternal grandfather was Major Humphrey Atherton, of Dorchester.
(IV) Samuel (2), youngest son of Samuel (I) and Deborah (Wales) Veazie, was born in Braintree, January 8, 171I. He was grad- uated at Harvard College in 1736, and or- dained to the ministry of the church at Dux- bury, Massachusetts, October 31, 1739. He preached with such vigor the doctrines of Whitfield that some trouble arose in his church, and he was dismissed April 18, 1750, by the advice of other churches who "heartily
2166

joined with his church in recommending Mr. Veazie to the work of the gospel ministry." He afterward preached at Hull and at Harps- well. He bought land September 30, 1768, on Sebascodegras Island (Harpswell), where he went in 1767. He made a clearing and built a house where he lived, and from time to time added to his estate. He died in Jan- uary, 1798, aged eighty-eight (Harvard cata- logue gives December 3, 1797). He married, at Duxbury, August 6, 1742, Deborah, daugh- ter of Benjamin and Rebecca (Cook) Samp- son, granddaughter of Jacob Cook, and great- granddaughter of Francis Cook, of the "May- flower." One account states that Deborah was born March 1, 1725, at Duxbury, and died at Hull, August 22, 1755. A partial in- scription on a gravestone at Hull reads : "The of ye Rev.
