Individual Details
Campbell Johnston
(6 Feb 1811 - 19 Nov 1898)
Campbell Johnston was a small boy when he was brought into Kentucky. He was riding in a covered wagon and the road was very rough and he was very tired. As they got into Kentucky, his parents said, "Thank God we are in Kentucky." Campbell said "If this is Kentucky, damn Kentucky." His mother gave him the worst spanking that he ever remembered.
From research of Asbury Johnston, Families of Buckhorn, May 15, 1923.
NOTE: Information on this individual is from the manuscript about Buckhorn, Kentucky families, by Asbury B. Johnston. He gives the date of death as 1899, and is considered a primary source as he lived during this period and was there, further, he interviewed other family members for additional information that was in the manuscript.
The grave marker listing his death date was a memorial stone for his parents and siblings and is considered tertiary evidence that was erected many years after the fact and is more subject to error.
