Notes - Campbell., Robert. ---Major Robert Campbell and Robert Campbell, Captain. While our sketch has to do only with the late Major Robert Campbell and his uncle, Captain Robert Campbell, it would appear that Lieut. Walter Campbell, of the 37th Regiment, who died in 1857, was the head of the family on their arrival in Wilmot in 1840. They located on the farm in East Zorra now owned by the Jno. Bonner Estate. Captain Robt, Campbell lived and died a bachelor, but the late Major was married in 1878 to Margaret Eliza Smith. The Campbells were a family of strong military instincts and possessed a high sense of honour and chivalry and dispensed a princely hospitality at their handsome residence, East Zorra. Major Robert Campbell died at New Hamburg in 1898 and Captain Robert Campbell in 1888.
