1 THE CAMPBELLS FROM COUNTY CAVAN - Ulster Scots who settled in Canada * By Brian McConnell In the cemetery beside the United Church at Little Britain, Ontario, now stands an impressive eight foot stone, placed by the descendants of John James Campbell to his memory and the memory of his wife and family. John James Campbell was an Ulster Scot whose grandfather William Campbell traveled with his wife Jennie Ferguson and children to Upper Canada from Belturbet, County Cavan, Ireland in Little Britain is a long way from the original home of the Campbells near Inverness, Scotland. How this Campbell family came to be there is a story that mirrors the tales of countless other Scots who now live in Canada after, in some case, several hundred years in the north of Ireland. It is approximately a two hour drive northeast from Toronto to Little Britain, a rural farming area with several nearby lakes. The area was settled mainly by English, Irish and Scots in the middle of the 19th century when the land was made available by the Crown before the coming into being of a Canada. (1).../2

2 Page 2 According to John James Campbell who in his 81st year in 1950 spoke to his grand-daughter Irma Wilson about how they came to be in Canada: "Our family was chased out of Scotland (by the English) and then chased out of Ireland (by the Irish)." When, in the 1600s England transplanted several hundred thousand lowland Scots and English in the north of Ireland on lands previously held by rebellious Irish, the Campbell family settled between Belturbet and Cootehill in County Cavan, one of the nine northern counties which made up the old province of Ulster Seated below is John James Campbell reading the family Bible at Christmas in /3

Four Scottish roods made up a Scottish acre) of 1st quality land and 4 acres and 2 roods of 2nd quality land in total 11 acres in Townland of Barragh, Parish of Killsherdeny, County Cavan, Ireland.

5 Page 5 Although Eliza Campbell, daughter of William and Jennie Campbell was baptized in the Church of Ireland, Ashfield, members of the Campbell family and other related families including the Fergusons attended the Presbyterian Church in County Cavan, Ireland. The baptismal records of Coronneary Presbyterian Church record the baptism of Jean Ferguson in 1783, an aunt to Jennie Campbell. William Campbell and his wife Jennie Ferguson left for Upper Canada along with two of their seven, James and John. The trip took six weeks. Other family members followed and within a few years all of the Campbells, but for one son, Joshua, and an uncle, Lancelot Campbell, had arrived in Canada. (4) The 1840s were a difficult time throughout Ireland. There was the catastrophe of the potatoe famine and religious conflict between Protestants and Roman Catholics. In County Cavan, the Protestants were in the minority and made up it has been estimated fifteen per cent of the population. The insecurity of this situation encouraged the growth of Orange Lodges. The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland was founded as a result of the struggle by Protestants to survive in Ireland where the majority of the population was Roman Catholic and to worship freely and to support the constitutional monarchy of the British Isles. Many early settlers of Canada and their descendants were Orangemen and Orangewomen due to the number of people arriving from the British Isles where the Lodges were numerous. In pre- confederation Canada when areas were settled one of the first buildings often built was an Orange Lodge. It served as a community centre. The Campells belonged to the Orange Lodge in Victoria County, Ontario where they had settled. Three of Canada's Prime Ministers have been Orangeman including Sir John A. MacDonald, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, and John Defienbaker. Premier Joseph Smallwood of Newfoundland who brought his province into Canada in 1949 was an Orangemen. (5).../6

In 1882 John Campbell, a farmer who also raised champion Leicester Sheep, was President of the Mariposa Farmers Club which held its first meeting at Oakwood..../7

He was also from County Cavan, Ireland and in 1836 settled at Lot 8, Concession 5, in Cartwright Township as noted in "Cartwright Revisited 1983, Sesquicentennial Edition", compiled and edited by Doreen M. Van Camp for the Scugog Township Council..../8

8 Page 8 After arriving in Upper Canada the Campbells built large log homes out of the virgin forest. Their efforts and those of other settlers are recalled in the words of the Dominion Hym. Dominion Hymn Our Sires when times were sorest, Asked none bu aid Divine They cleared the tangled forest, And wrought the buried mine. They tracked the floods and fountaines, And won, with master hand Far more than gold in mountains - The glorious fruitful land William Campbell died in 1898 at the age of 85 and his wife Jennie passed away in 1918 at the age of 84. The ancestors of their children are now spread throughout Canada and the United States. However, there are none of the family left in Ireland, nor in Scotland. The lands that originally supported them were also the places that they left in search of a better life for their families. But these lands influenced who they became in the New World and were never forgotten and that is why until this day their descendants can think of themselves as Ulster Scots..../9
