Marriages: "CAMPYON, JOHN, to Martha Walker, Jan. 12, 1719/20; CAMPYON,
ELIZABETH, to Obadiah Ayres, Jr., Feb. 15, 1716/17, (vide, ante, PART FOUR, p.
577); CAMPYON, POLLY, to Ichabod Porter, Apl. 14, 1790." If the latter date is
correct, this spelling endured for seventy years, at least.
In the list of births, (idem, p. 253), the name is entered several times, as COMPYON.
MARTHA WALKER, wife of JOHN CAMPION was the dau. of FRANCIS WALKER, JR., and
wife, ANN WELLS of W., (vide, ante, PART TWO, p. 260). She was b. Sept. 10, 1696,
and hence it may be safely assumed that JOHN CAMPION was b. by 1696, as they
were m. Jan. 12, 1719/20. Se d. as "wife of John, Oct. 2, 1781, ae. 86"; buried at
Pisc., (vide, ante, PART THREE, p. 373). He was undoubtodly a son of widow,
ELIZABETH FREEMAN, and her (2) husband CAMPION, (supra).
Their children, (of JOHN and MARTHA), whose names are easily traceable, were
(vide, ante, PART TWO, p. 260).
I. Joanna, b. Apl. 8, 1723.
II. Francis, b. 1726, d. Oct. 15, 1785, age 59,
(vide, ante, PART THREE, p. 373)
(from FRANCIS WALKER), b. Mar. 4,
1725-6, m. Mary () (widow of Alexander
Edgar, and d. June 22, 1784, aged
54).
III. Ann, (from the grandmother, ANN
WALKER), b. July 6, 1730, and no doubt
others, (vide, ante, PART TWO, p. 275).
These are sustained by the recitals of the will first above cited, 1730, which dated
Nov. 1, was proved Dec. 7, 1730, naming wife, Martha, and all of the above three
children.
