 ====== Campbell, John Duncan ======
- (21 Feb. 1773-6 May 1835), fur trader. Born at Scoharie, New York. Parents: Alexander Campbell and his wife Magdalena Van Sice, both U E Loyalists. John Duncan Campbell was a fur trader with the North West Company (partner 1803), but retired from the fur trade on the merger in 1821 of the NWC and HBC. He married Eliza, eldest daughter of John Mcdonald of Garth by his Métis wife Nancy Small. Campbell and his wife bought John McDonald of Garth’s house, Inverarden, with a tract of land around it at Gray’s Creek, east of Cornwall, and lived there, apparently sharing the house with Eliza’s mother. He was a captain with the 1st Stormont Militia and a JP. Mrs Campbell, who long outlived her husband, died 30 Nov. 1890 at Gray’s Creek. Their eldest son James Reid Campbell (1826-1912) was an unsuccessful claimant to the earldom of Breadalbane in 1871-1872. Grant Campbell, who was MP for Stormont 1958-1962 and died at Lancaster, GC, 12 March 2008, aged 85, was James Reid Campbell’s grandson.
