• Notes

  Moved to Cherryfield, ME His wife survived him and administered his estate Alexander Campbell, (1731-1807), served as colonel of the 6th regiment Massachusetts militia. He died in Sherryfield, Maine where he was one of the most influential men of his time. (-DAR) According to the book *Early Narraguagus Families* by Leonard Tibbets and Darryl Lamson, published in 2002, Alexander CAMPBELL was an innholder, a brigader general in the Revolutionary War, helped to negotiate the treaty with the Passamaquoddy Indians in 1793 and was an overseer of Bowdoin College in 1794. Another source states he was eventually made a Major General. I have *not* been able to verify or disconfirm that General CAMPBELL fought in the Battle of Quebec in 1759, as claimed on a Cherryfield CAMPBELL web site. [1]
