JAMES CAMPBELL, son of Henry Campbell (the youngest of the five sons who emigrated from Ireland) and Janet Mack, who was b. on the ocean,- was b. in Londonderry ; enlisted in the Continental service for three years or during the war in 1777; was wounded in the battle of Stillwater. After peace was declared in 1783, he rem. to Acworth, having purchased his farm in 1781. He was much employed as a surveyor and conveyancer; kept school in various places in the winter from 1783 to '91. He was often in office in the town, as will be seen by reference to the list of town officers. The accuracy with which he kept the town records, and his penmanship, were remarkable for the times. He was elected Register of Deeds in the County of Cheshire in 1803; held the office by successive re-elections until his death, in 1825, without opposition. His son Lewis held it in the same manner from his father's death until 1836, at which time he resigned on account of ill health. JAMES CAMPBELL m.

DR. STEPHEN CARLETON, brother of Oliver, s. in Acworth in 1803. He was the earliest comer of the trio of doctors who have spent their lives in Acworth, whose names will never be forgotten in town. "He was a man of few words, a gentleman of the old school, kind and generous in his feel- ings, and always trying to do his best when his services were required." There was no disposition in him to humbug people to promote his business interests. It was a favorite saying of his, " If people were aware how little doctors knew, they would not trust them as they did." He was quite suc- cessful in his practice, especially in fevers. He never married. He died in 1857, aged 86.
