John, a bookstore owner, was also a historian. In 1831 he published the History of Virginia to 1781. Later, he held the position of Federal Collector of Customs in Petersburg, Virginia. Mildred taught at the Petersburg Classical Academy in the 1840's. In addition to Charles, the couple also had two younger children, Alexander (Aleck) S. Campbell, and Elizabeth (Betty) Campbell Maben (d.1871).","Charles' mother, Mildred Walker Moore Campbell, was the granddaughter of Virginia lieutenant governor Alexander Spotswood (1676-1740). Mildred Walker Moore Campbell and her siblings Mary Fairfax Moore Keller, Dr. Alexander Spotswood Moore, Ann Evelina Moore Henley, William Agustin Moore, Eliza Moore McDonald, and Lavinia Moore McPheeters wrote and received numerous pieces of personal correspondence that are available in this collection.","Charles Campbell attended the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) from 1823-1825. Upon graduation he enrolled in Henry St. George Tucker's School of Law in Winchester, Virginia. However, he suffered from chronic headaches which caused him severe physical and mental exhaustion. By 1829, these health issues would force him to leave the law profession.","Following his departure from law, Campbell worked as an engineer of the Petersburg Railroad. Later he ran a private school for boys in Glencoe, Alabama. On 13 September 1836, he married Elvira N. Callaway (1819-1837) of Monroe County, Tennessee. In 1837, Elvira died shortly after the birth of a son, Callaway Campbell (b.1837). In his distress, Campbell left his son with Elivira's siblings, Thomas and Lucinda Callaway. Later, this would result in a court case to regain custody of his child.","Following the death of his wife, Campbell worked as a clerk in the office of the Collector of Custom in Petersburg, Virginia (a position he obtained from his father John Campbell). From 1840-1843, Campbell also owned, published, and edited a Petersburg newspaper, The American Statesman. He returned to teaching in 1842 by opening a classical school in Petersburg, becoming both teacher and administrator in the Anderson Seminary. He would hold these positions until the formation of free public schools in 1870.","Campbell remarried in 1850 to Miss Anna Birdsall of Rahway, New Jersey. They had four children, Mary Spotswood Campbell Robinson (b.1852), Nanny Campbell (b.1854), Charles Campbell (b.1856), and Fanny Campbell (1858-1860's).","Charles Campbell was committed to Western Lunatic Asylum at Staunton, Virginia, in 1873 where he remained until his death on July 11, 1876. He was buried at Blandford Church Cemetery, Petersburg.","Like his father, Campbell was a historian. He began contributing to journals in 1834. Some of the journals to which he frequently contributed included; The Southern Literary Messenger or The Southern and Western Literary Messenger and Review, The Farmer's Register, The New Yorker, and the Petersburg Intelligencer. His most important work, however, was the History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia. This work built upon his father's book and concerned Virginia history from the colony's founding to the Revolutionary War.","Other Information:","Additional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00063.frame","The materials at Duke are comprised of copies of historical documents and letters, and personal papers of Charles Campbell (1807-1876), historian, editor, and antiquarian.

Mildred taught at the Petersburg Classical Academy in the 1840's. In addition to Charles, the couple also had two younger children, Alexander (Aleck) S. Campbell, and Elizabeth (Betty) Campbell Maben (d.1871).","Charles' mother, Mildred Walker Moore Campbell, was the granddaughter of Virginia lieutenant governor Alexander Spotswood (1676-1740).

Upon graduation he enrolled in Henry St. George Tucker's School of Law in Winchester, Virginia. However, he suffered from chronic headaches which caused him severe physical and mental exhaustion. By 1829, these health issues would force him to leave the law profession.","Following his departure from law, Campbell worked as an engineer of the Petersburg Railroad. Later he ran a private school for boys in Glencoe, Alabama. On 13 September 1836, he married Elvira N. Callaway (1819-1837) of Monroe County, Tennessee. In 1837, Elvira died shortly after the birth of a son, Callaway Campbell (b.1837). In his distress, Campbell left his son with Elivira's siblings, Thomas and Lucinda Callaway. Later, this would result in a court case to regain custody of his child.","Following the death of his wife, Campbell worked as a clerk in the office of the Collector of Custom in Petersburg, Virginia (a position he obtained from his father John Campbell). From 1840-1843, Campbell also owned, published, and edited a Petersburg newspaper, The American Statesman. He returned to teaching in 1842 by opening a classical school in Petersburg, becoming both teacher and administrator in the Anderson Seminary. He would hold these positions until the formation of free public schools in 1870.","Campbell remarried in 1850 to Miss Anna Birdsall of Rahway, New Jersey. They had four children, Mary Spotswood Campbell Robinson (b.1852), Nanny Campbell (b.1854), Charles Campbell (b.1856), and Fanny Campbell (1858-1860's).","Charles Campbell was committed to Western Lunatic Asylum at Staunton, Virginia, in 1873 where he remained until his death on July 11, 1876. He was buried at Blandford Church Cemetery, Petersburg.","Like his father, Campbell was a historian. He began contributing to journals in 1834. Some of the journals to which he frequently contributed included; The Southern Literary Messenger or The Southern and Western Literary Messenger and Review, The Farmer's Register, The New Yorker, and the Petersburg Intelligencer. His most important work, however, was the History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia.

Mildred taught at the Petersburg Classical Academy in the 1840's. In addition to Charles, the couple also had two younger children, Alexander (Aleck) S. Campbell, and Elizabeth (Betty) Campbell Maben (d.1871).","Charles' mother, Mildred Walker Moore Campbell, was the granddaughter of Virginia lieutenant governor Alexander Spotswood (1676-1740). Mildred Walker Moore Campbell and her siblings Mary Fairfax Moore Keller, Dr. Alexander Spotswood Moore, Ann Evelina Moore Henley, William Agustin Moore, Eliza Moore McDonald, and Lavinia Moore McPheeters wrote and received numerous pieces of personal correspondence that are available in this collection.","Charles Campbell attended the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) from 1823-1825. Upon graduation he enrolled in Henry St. George Tucker's School of Law in Winchester, Virginia. However, he suffered from chronic headaches which caused him severe physical and mental exhaustion. By 1829, these health issues would force him to leave the law profession.","Following his departure from law, Campbell worked as an engineer of the Petersburg Railroad. Later he ran a private school for boys in Glencoe, Alabama. On 13 September 1836, he married Elvira N. Callaway (1819-1837) of Monroe County, Tennessee. In 1837, Elvira died shortly after the birth of a son, Callaway Campbell (b.1837). In his distress, Campbell left his son with Elivira's siblings, Thomas and Lucinda Callaway. Later, this would result in a court case to regain custody of his child.","Following the death of his wife, Campbell worked as a clerk in the office of the Collector of Custom in Petersburg, Virginia (a position he obtained from his father John Campbell). From 1840-1843, Campbell also owned, published, and edited a Petersburg newspaper, The American Statesman. He returned to teaching in 1842 by opening a classical school in Petersburg, becoming both teacher and administrator in the Anderson Seminary. He would hold these positions until the formation of free public schools in 1870.","Campbell remarried in 1850 to Miss Anna Birdsall of Rahway, New Jersey. They had four children, Mary Spotswood Campbell Robinson (b.1852), Nanny Campbell (b.1854), Charles Campbell (b.1856), and Fanny Campbell (1858-1860's).","Charles Campbell was committed to Western Lunatic Asylum at Staunton, Virginia, in 1873 where he remained until his death on July 11, 1876. He was buried at Blandford Church Cemetery, Petersburg.","Like his father, Campbell was a historian. He began contributing to journals in 1834. Some of the journals to which he frequently contributed included; The Southern Literary Messenger or The Southern and Western Literary Messenger and Review, The Farmer's Register, The New Yorker, and the Petersburg Intelligencer. His most important work, however, was the History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia. This work built upon his father's book and concerned Virginia history from the colony's founding to the Revolutionary War."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eOther Information:\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e Additional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00063.frame\u003c/p\u003e  "],"odd_heading_ssm":["General"],"odd_tesim":["Other Information:","Additional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00063.frame"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCharles Campbell Papers, Special Collections Research Center, Swem Library, College of William and Mary.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"prefercite_tesim":["Charles Campbell Papers, Special Collections Research Center, Swem Library, College of William and Mary."],"relatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe materials at Duke are comprised of copies of historical documents and letters, and personal papers of Charles Campbell (1807-1876), historian, editor, and antiquarian.

He was born in New York on August 13, 1798. Bell began his naval career as a midshipman under Stephen Decatur during the War of 1812. He also served under Decatur during the Second Barbary War, in 1815. In 1820, Bell commanded a ship involved with the suppression of piracy in the West Indies. His ship capsized in a storm, and he clung to wreckage for 21 hours before being rescued.","During the early 1840s Bell, who held outspoken antislavery views, commanded the brig Dolphin to assist the suppression of the African slave trade, which had been outlawed in 1808. Bell also co-authored a report on the illegal slave trade in West Africa which influenced the antislavery provisions of the 1842 Webster-Ashburton Treaty between the United States and Great Britain. He was given command of the second U.S.S. Constellation in 1855 and led the ship on a three year cruise with the Mediterranean Squadron. Bell was in command of the Mediterranean Squadron when the Civil War broke out, but was transferred to the Pacific Squadron during the war. In 1865, Bell was placed in command of the New York (Brooklyn) Navy Yard, a position which he held for three years. He was promoted to rear admiral on the retired list in 1866, and died in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1875.","Bell was married to Elisa Smith Swartwout (1799-1890), with whom he had four children: Charles, Henrietta, Frances, and William. Bell also served as the executor for the estate of Samuel Swartwout, Elisa's uncle. In his early life, Swartwout had been involved with Aaron Burr's conspiracies in the West. He later became a fervent supporter of Andrew Jackson, and was appointed the Collector of Customs for the Port of New York by Jackson in 1829. Swartwout was notorious for allegations that he had embezzled over $1,000,000 from the federal government during his tenure as Collector of Customs. He died in 1856.","Bell's daughter, Henrietta, was married to Israel Smith. She died in 1860, and Smith remarried Rebecca Mintern, with whom he had four children: Alice, Eliza, Edith, and Margaret. Israel Smith served as the executor for Charles Bell's estate. Smith died in 1879 in Williamsburg, VA.","Material referenced from The Civil War Naval Encyclopedia, Volume One, edited by Spencer Tucker \u0026 William E.

He was born in New York on August 13, 1798. Bell began his naval career as a midshipman under Stephen Decatur during the War of 1812. He also served under Decatur during the Second Barbary War, in 1815. In 1820, Bell commanded a ship involved with the suppression of piracy in the West Indies. His ship capsized in a storm, and he clung to wreckage for 21 hours before being rescued.","During the early 1840s Bell, who held outspoken antislavery views, commanded the brig Dolphin to assist the suppression of the African slave trade, which had been outlawed in 1808. Bell also co-authored a report on the illegal slave trade in West Africa which influenced the antislavery provisions of the 1842 Webster-Ashburton Treaty between the United States and Great Britain. He was given command of the second U.S.S. Constellation in 1855 and led the ship on a three year cruise with the Mediterranean Squadron. Bell was in command of the Mediterranean Squadron when the Civil War broke out, but was transferred to the Pacific Squadron during the war. In 1865, Bell was placed in command of the New York (Brooklyn) Navy Yard, a position which he held for three years. He was promoted to rear admiral on the retired list in 1866, and died in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1875.","Bell was married to Elisa Smith Swartwout (1799-1890), with whom he had four children: Charles, Henrietta, Frances, and William. Bell also served as the executor for the estate of Samuel Swartwout, Elisa's uncle. In his early life, Swartwout had been involved with Aaron Burr's conspiracies in the West. He later became a fervent supporter of Andrew Jackson, and was appointed the Collector of Customs for the Port of New York by Jackson in 1829. Swartwout was notorious for allegations that he had embezzled over $1,000,000 from the federal government during his tenure as Collector of Customs. He died in 1856.","Bell's daughter, Henrietta, was married to Israel Smith. She died in 1860, and Smith remarried Rebecca Mintern, with whom he had four children: Alice, Eliza, Edith, and Margaret. Israel Smith served as the executor for Charles Bell's estate. Smith died in 1879 in Williamsburg, VA.","Material referenced from The Civil War Naval Encyclopedia, Volume One, edited by Spencer Tucker \u0026 William E.
