He was a sturdy old Scotchman; his wife was Mary McLellan, and others of her name and quite a colony came across the ocean with old Edward, some of them settling in Cumberland and Robeson Counties, N. C. others settled in Marion County, S. C. Old Edward, after living here many years, went West, and all his family went with him except his son, Duncan Campbell, who had married and settled on Little Pee Dee, where his son, Daniel, now lives. Duncan Campbell was another old settler on the east side of Little Pee Dee, south of Hayes Swamp; he came from Scotland with his father, Edward, and owned a large body of land; he married Margaret McEachern, and they raised a family of three sons and five daughters." "Old Duncan Campbell raised five daughters. The eldest married Malcolm Stafford, as already noticed in or among the Stafford family. Another daughter, Mary, married Leonard Walters, and removed to Alabama, and raised a large family, her sons being among the wealthiest men about Montgomery, Ala. Christian, another daughter, married A. S. Buie, who, in his lifetime, was a peaceable, industrious and Christian gentleman; they had three daughters. The eldest, Louisa, married Gilbert Butler; both are dead. The next, Margaret, married Calvin C. Carmichael, and are living. Nancy married Robert Monroe, of North Carolina; both are dead. Margaret, the youngest, died when about grown, from yellow fever, which she contracted from going with her father to Charleston, in the month of August, with a drove of sheep and turkeys; several of the negroes who went with him also contracted the disease, and some of them died; Duncan Campbell himself took the fever and died also; he left a large estate unencumbered for his widow and children."

Above shared by Gloria Tune. The grant for the land that Duncan built his house on came from the state of SC in 1805 for 1,600 acres. The land is not in tact any more, I have been told the house was built between 1815 and 1835. Duncan was the only child of Edward and Mary Campbell to stay in SC, one of his younger brothers, Daniel stayed there for a while. He married an unknown woman and had 3 daughters, his wife died in 1829. His father needed him in FL so Daniel and his 3 girls went there and lived with the old man. So Duncan's family was the only one to stay in Dillon. Duncan and his wife, Margaret McEachern, had 9 children. One of Duncan's sons was named Daniel also, he married Eliza Ann Carmichael in 1852. Daniel and Eliza were the parents of Katherine (Kate) Margaret Campbell that married Augustus V. McKellar. I think the last Campbell to live in that house. Information....Bob Campbell, Alabama NOTE: The picture of the house is the one Duncan built. House still seems to be in good condition. Photo was taken in Sept. 2019. Duncan was the only child of Edward and Mary McLellan Campbell.
