Charles Campbell

I represent Charles Campbell, the son of Edward and Polly Campbell. We lived in the Escambia River District, which included both banks of the Escambia River from the Alabama line into present day Santa Rosa County, about 25-40 miles north of Pensacola as it existed in 1820. My household was part of an Anglo-American population that settled and farmed land in Spanish territory without permission of the Spanish government, but which was tolerated because it supplied Pensacola with produce. I was from Scotland, and at the time of the 1820 census of the Escambia River District, I was 55 years old. My wife Nancy and I owned a small farm with hogs and one cow. We had a four-year-old son, and our household included 1 enslaved Black person.
