Biography

Mary C. Campbell, age 10, "white by law" was living in Lucea in the Hanover census of 1823. Very likely the sister of Mary Mcfarlane Campbell age 12 and Sarah D. Campbell, age 6, both also "white by law" in Lucea at the same time, and also the brother of Robert Campbell (baptised in Hanover in 1812). No baptism has been found for Mary Chambers Campbell but Robert Campbell (1812) and Mary McFarlane Campbell (1814) were both given as the children of Sarah Malcolm, a "free quadroon" in the parish registers.

Five enslaved people were registered in the possession of Mary Chambers Campbell as owner by Alexander Campbell her natural guardian in Hanover in 1829.
