parents, Donald, (sometimes called Daniel) and Margaret Fullerton , fled the country leaving behind a large cotton plan¬ tation. It was said "that the Campbell's left in such haste that the cows could not be milked before departure and were left bawling at the farm gate."7 The Campbell's travelled to Lot 16 via Jamaica, and Shelburne, Nova Scotia . Archibald was seven years old when his family arrived in Lot 16 in 1784 and claimed a land grant of 500 acres.8 The description of Donald Campbell 's land grant was such: Adjoining the west boundary line of Alexander Cameron , fronting on and bounded on the North by the Ellis River , due east and west twenty-three chains and from hence, extending back by parallel lines running due south until they meet with the boundary between said Lot 16 and Lot 17 making and including five hundred acres and which appears on a plan or map.9 Donald later rented another 100 acres from Stephen Sullivan . Donald played an important role in local setdement and was also appointed surveyor master of lumber at on February 27, 1794. The March 1811 Weekly Recorder lists Donald Campbell as the fence viewer and constable for Lot 16 . Many of the sons of Donald and Margaret leased land at Lot 16 , including Archibald who leased on July 7, 1806, 100 acres of land at Belmont, the current property (2003) of Wins¬ ton and Edith Yeo . At a young age Archibald devoted his life to the Lord. He was a devout Presbyterian and a man of vision. He saw the merits of education and offered a portion of his land holdings for a cemetery and a log building to be used as a church and a school. The selection of his land for the church made geo¬ graphical sense. Approximately six miles across the Bay lay Princetown , the other point of Presbyterian activity and along the shoreline of Campbell's property there was a natural har¬ bour to anchor the boat used by a minister to travel between the two points. The log church was used for a period of ten to twelve years before the Central site was selected and a new wooden frame church built. United Church and Its People
