WILLIAM CAMPBELL II


William Campbell II was born in Paisley Scotland on January 14, 1848, to William Campbell I, and Rachel Parker. To date no information has surfaced regarding the exact time of migration, however, records indicate William II lived his life in Warren, Massachusetts, and died there on August 25, 1908. We are hopeful that someday more information will surface on William II and his family.

William was united in marriage on July 16, 1869, to Elizabeth Chapman, and from this union were seven children: William III, Mary, James Chapman, Thomas, Walter, Arthur Wilbert and Rachel.

On the Warren Massachusetts State Census Record of 1880 it indicates William Campbell II was employed at the cotton mill. The Warren Massachusetts area consisted of emigrants who migrated to the area from many European countries and who brought their many talents and trades with them. The cotton manufacturers were prevalent in Scotland and the city where William II hailed from was named after the Persian pattern known as Paisley. It was also known for it's thread manufacturers and tool manufacturers. No other information to date is available on this family.

 
 
WILLIAM CAMPBELL I


William Campbell I, and Rachel Parker Campbell were natives of Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. They are the parents of William Campbell II who was born on January 14, 1848, in Paisley, Scotland. Little information has surfaced to date regarding William I and Rachel, although we are hopeful more information will become available as we continue our research on this family.

Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, is a large town situated 7 miles (11km) west of Glasgow, and 53 miles (85km) West of Edinburgh, Scotland. Paisley is considered the largest city in Scotland today. The town grew up around Oakshaw, on the west side of the White Cart River where a Roman fort may have existed. Paisley's growth in the early 19th century was primarily through textiles (printing, bleaching, cotton thread) and the name "Paisley was given to the Kashmiri pattern of curving shapes found on silk and cotton fabric.

On the 1880 Massachusetts State Census record it indicates William Campbell II was employed at the local Warren, Massachusetts Cotton Mill. This might explain the origin of his work ethics coming from an area so involved with the fabric manufacturers.

Paisley was known for its tool manufacturing and Weavers who were a remarkable class of men- intelligent and observant, devoted to politics, strongly or widely radical, great talkers when gathered at the close-mouth or in public houses, guardians of the Church, reformers of the state, proud patrons of learning, but overall good fathers, good churchmen and good citizens.
