| "The first of the family to come to the County of Kent was Charles Campbell, of Scottish Ancestry but a native of North Ireland, where he grew to manhood and married Margaret Lamon, a native of County Antrim; their family was born in the Emeral Isle. In 1830 the family emigrated to Canada and for a short time made their home at Prescott, County of Elgin, coming later to Tilbury East. Charles Campbell received of Col. Talbot, who was the Crown agent, a grant of the north half of lot nine, M.R.N. of 100 acres. The land was wild and the road had not been cleared, and here he began the life of a pioneer settler, and as such was forced to contend with many hardships. He was accidentally killed by a falling tree in 1848, at the age of sixty-seven years.
