CAMPBELL, Daniel L. was born in River Denys, Cape Breton (1843-1934), ‘

and is the son of Farquhar Campbell (born-Scotland). Dan came

to P.E.I. to teach school. He decided to try something else and left for Boston, Massachusetts to learn carpentry. Dan married Margaret Anne MacNevin daughter of Neil MacNeyin. Margaret was

born in P.E.I. 1848 and is buried in DeSable.

Dan and Margaret had 11 children: Frank N. (1874—1875), Grace

Louise (1875—1899), Charlotte Isabel (1877—1925), Flora Jane (1879—1915), Frank Neil (b.1881), Alexander Daniel (1885—1947), 1

Margaret Anne (b.1887), Colin John (1889~1964), James (1892—1893), William Victor (1895—1960),and James (1897—1972).

Dan and Margaret lived with their family on a small parcel of

land purchased from the MacNevin family and the Campbell home

still stands on that piece of land.

It has been added to over the years and Some changes have been

made on the inside but it is much the same as when Dan and Margaret

resided there over 100 years ago.

The finish work inside the house was done by Dan and we are told

he even made some of the furniture that his grandson Victor now

has.
