Hi everyone. As most of you are probably well aware by now, I am a descendant of Jeremiah Campbell aka Pahinsasa, aka Pasasa. I have been working to uncover all of the Campbell history for the past three years. I would like to try to compile all of the history in our enitre of line of relatives. So here is my request:
Would everyone that has any probates, wills, baptisms, marriage, and death records, misc. records on the Campbell line please send them to me. I do have some of the probates, including Margaret Menager Campbells, Scott Jr.s, Jeremiahs, Joseph A. and Joseph M. Campbell, Theresa Campbell Denney, Henry Denney Sr., and Henry Denney Jr., my grandfather. I would love to get copies of everything else. I would like the history for our whole family to share. So please, PLEASE!!!!! if you have anything to help with our family history, please send it to me.
Thank you
jackie

I'm posting this for DarkWolfe.
Archibald "John" Campbell: (1775-1808)
John was born in Londonderry, Muff Co., Ireland & first married Catherine Demontigny and a second marriage to a Dakota woman, who died in 1801. Their children were: John, Jeremiah, Duncan, Colin, Scott, Margaret-Pelagia (m.1st.Edward Pizanne & m.2nd.Hercules Dousman) & Nancy (1790's-1887; m.John Palmer Bourke).
Archabald had been trading since 1792 and two years later is trading out of the "Little Rapids" with the Wahpetons. From 1800-06 he is a trader for the Machinac Co. but became an independent trader in 1806. In December of 1807 he is appointed the U.S. Indian Sub-Agent at Prairie du Chien, through the recommendation of Gov.Meriwether Lewis and the next year (summer 1808) he was killed in a duel with trader Redford Crawford, Campbell's former trading associate, Robert Dickson acting as Redford's second.
John Campbell: (abt.1790-?)
He was the son of Archibald John Campbell & Catherine de Montigny & married Marguerite Ainse (daughter of Joseph Ainse & Marie-Therese Bondy). Their children were: John (b.abt.1830; m.Sophie Phalen), Jeremiah (b.abt.1834),
Duncan, Nancy & David (b.abt.1839).
Colin Campbell:
He was the son of Archibald John Campbell & a Dakota woman and married a Dakota woman. Colin was a young Lieutenant in British militia during the War of 1812 when Mj.Zachary Taylor brought an American force north from St.Louis in an attempt to retake Prairie du Chien from British & Dakota warrior hands. Capt.Duncan Graham who lead the defense of the trading center, praised Colin, Lt.Michael Brisbois & Sergeant James Keating for their efforts in Taylor's failed effort. In September of 1820 Colin was sent to the Sisseton near the Blue Earth River to bring in the murders of two of Manuel Lisa's men. He brought back to recently built Fort Snelling a Sisseton War Chief who claimed responsibility for the deaths. In 1821 & 1823 Colin was interpreting at councils held by Taliaferro at Ft.Snelling between the Dakota & visiting Ojibwe. By 1855 he is near the mouth of the Platte River.
Duncan Campbell: (bef.1802-?)
He was the son of Archibald John Campbell & a Dakota woman and married a Dakota woman (Therese). His children were: Nancy (b.1816/20; m.1st.Alfred Hudson & 2nd.Louis Larocque), Duncan II (b.1816/17; m.Margaret), Mary (b.abt.1818-1844; m.Charles Sweet), Jenny (b.1823/24; m.Oliver Cratte), William (b.1823/25-1855); George (b.1827/32-bef.1855; m.Dakota woman), Madaline (b.abt.1833; m.Philo Stone), Therese (b.1833/35-1855) & Thomas (b.1836/37-1855). Duncan was wintering on the Mississippi River for Michel Cadotte in the 1809-10 season, but the next year trading above Prairie du Chien for James Lockwood (American Fur Co.). In the early 1820's he was trading on the Minnesota River and acting as interpreter for Taliaferro but by 1826 is found trading at Ft.Barbour at the St.Croix Falls. In 1837 he was part of a delegation that accompanied the Dakota to Washington D.C., other interpreters included Scott Campbell, Augustin Rocque, Peter Quinn & Alexander Faribault. Ducan was back in 1838 where the Iowa Territory Census taker found him living in Clayton Co., north of the Root River.
Scott Campbell: (1790's-1851)
He was the son of Archibald John Campbell & a Dakota woman and married Margaret Menager. Their children were: Henriette S. (b.1824; m.Benjamin Aitken Dyomme), Scott II (b.abt.1828-1870), Hypolite S.(b.abt.1828), Joseph S.(b.1827/36-1869; m.Mary Ann), John S. (1834-1865; m.Marguerite Lize), Margaret (b.1838; m.Joseph Labathe in 1854), Baptiste S.(b.1838); Marie (b.abt.1839) & Mathias S.
As a boy, Scott was taken back east by Meriwether Lewis (of the Lewis & Clark expedition) on his return from his western journey. When Lewis died in 1809 under mysterious circumstances he returned to family in the Upper Mississippi. He was licensed to trade above Prairie du Chien for James Lockwood in the 1819-20 season. In 1834 he was Indian agent Taliaferro's Dakota interpreter at Fort Snelling, where he assisted Lt.Edmund A.Ogden in setting the Dakota language on paper. Missionary, Samuel W.Pond credits Scott for his part in the manuscript that Ogden passed on to Samuel & his brother Gideon Pond which was helpful in their work in developing a Dakota dictionary that was finished & published though the efforts of fellow missionary, Stephen R. Riggs. In 1837, Scott was living at the St.Peters settlement, near the mouth of the Minnesota River, going to Washington D.C. as the Dakota interpreter for a treaty. In 1843 he bought a claim from Denis Cherrier for $300. which he sold to William Hartshorn in 1848. Pond wrote of Scott, "Mr.Campbell was, in his general deportment, very mild, quiet and gentlemanly, always ready to smoke or chat with white men or Indians, carefully avoiding all harsh language and disagreeable topics; but he had a fiery temper which sometimes broke through the smooth external covering in such ebullitions of passion as we might expect from one in whom were mingled the Scotch and Dakota blood. He was skillful as an interpreter, and perhaps more skillful as a mis-interpreter...He told what he thought the speaker should have said rather that what he did say, and frequently a good understanding seemed to have been restored, simply because there had been no understanding at all."

Jackie,
There is something else that some people do not know and that is the fact that Margaret Menager was married to Scott Campbell Sr. first and when he died in 1851 she married Francois Patoille or Patwell about 1855. He was killed later during the uprising at Lower Sioux Agency. She is the one that signed Scott Campbell Jr.'s probate record also that was from Ramsey County when he was sent to St.Peter Hospital.

Jackie,
I should say Margaret Menager Campbell Patwell was probably forced to sign it along with Scott Jr. being forced to go there in 1870! You also wonder how many others were forced to go there later also?

Thank you for sharing that information with me. Did you find enough information on the Aungies to complete your family info?

Jackie
do you have any land documents from the land that was involved in the exchanges that occured in the 1837 treaty of Traverse De Sioux?
I continue to admire your researching abilities as one of the blazing stars on this great site.
Jackie, I want you to know how much your work has meant to so many people......your commitment to bring forth the truth is admirable.
Know that your work is appreciated and that the old ones and the little ones will benefit from the truth trail.
We have roads of history to follow that many times are not obvious. The roads of history of which our anscestors walked are not always welll marked or discernable.....you know that. Those roads are also marked by the documented history of papers or documents that may not seem to mean anything when we first perceive them or when we first scan them with a tired eye, but it is all worth the effort, as you have proven many times over and over.
The fact that you are actively conversing with Bubba about this line, and the connected Aungie line, is commendable.
I thought of you, immediately, when I thought of showing the old graves and long neglected site of the Ascension Church situation, that we could trust you to look at what we thought was important information for your analysis. If you need my help, please let me know.
Your friend
Jazzdog
