Excerpt from Remembrances of a Pioneer He married Martha G.Campbell, of Pickaway County, Ohio. Her parents came to Ohio from Pennsylvania, and had lived in Kentucky. Samuel Campbell and Jane Fleming were married September 5, 1797. Her father had the honor of having Flemingsburgh, Kentucky, named for him. Samuel Campbell came from Ireland, and was a Presbyterian of the strictest kind, and had more love for his fellow-men than most of people have, and the most thankful person I ever saw. He never ate a meal without thanks when he commenced, and when he was done also; and how well do I remember his prayers at night when I was there! My grandmother Campbell knew the Scriptures from the first of the Bible to the last of the New Testament, and could tell where to find any text you could ask for. But the worst calamity that can come to us in this life fell to her lot many years before her death - that of insanity. After raising eight children to be men and women, to lose her mind and such a bright intellect is one of the saddest recollections of my life. There was no asylums for the insane at that time, and she had to be confined with roes and chains, - how well do I remember! - to keep her from killing her own children and all that she could get at, and had to be watched; and what a trial to the family it was!
