Notes for Samuel CAMPBELL

From THE MAGAZINE ANTIQUES article may 2002:

(39.) The statement of accounts records ninety-two dollars owed to "Joseph Meeks & Son" for a "Sofa & mattress." According to Gilbert T. Vincent, director of the New York State Historical Association, Cooperstown, it records purchases made by Robert Campbell of 50 Lake Street, Cooperstown. (A typescript of the account appears in Pollack, "Three Generations," appendix 2:4. The original daybook from which it was transcribed was missing from the New York State Historical Association Library as of July 1997.) The house at 50 Lake Street remained in the Campbell family through 1987, and several pieces of furniture believed to have belonged to Robert Campbell, including the sofa, remained in it. Photographs of the interiors around 1935 show the sofa in the downstairs parlor (see Ward File, 50 Lake Street, New York State Historical Association Library). Robert Campbell was the brother of Matthew Campbell (1775-1845) of Cherry Valley, New York, and the uncle of Samuel Campbell who married I. Cynthia Saltus Meeks, Jos eph Meeks's daughter (seen. 23). See Campbell family genealogy, typescript (New York State Historical Association Library) and Campbell family pedigree charts (collection file 313, Special Collections, New York State Historical Association Library). I thank Paul D'Ambrosio, Susan Deer, Kathleen D. Stocking, and Gilbert T. Vincent of the New York State Historical Association for providing me with these sources.
Perhaps son of Matthew Campbell.
