Daughter of Irish immigrants Walter Smith (and Mariah Dillion Smith?); sister of Patrick, James, Thomas, and other siblings.
She was the first wife of Thomas Campbell, a druggist/clerk in Zanesville and a Civil War veteran; they were married (probably in Zanesville, perhaps at the courthouse) on 21 December 1853 by Justice of the Peace John Harrison, who entered the marriage in the Muskingum County courthouse record book. They were both about 26-27 years old. Margaret came from a family of Catholics who worshipped at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Zanesville; Tom was the immigrant son of a family of Protestants from Carlisle, England.
They were the parents of six children: Robert Pollock Campbell, Maria Louise Campbell, Thomas W. Campbell, Elizabeth Catherine Campbell, Margaret Anna Campbell (who died aged 2 years) and a female baby born 19 April 1867 in Zanesville (Muskingum Co. birth record) who evidently died before she could be named or baptized. All of their other children were baptized at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.
Margaret died, age 38, of "Child Bed Fever." No birth or baptism was registered in county or church records for a child born at that time, so Margaret's fatal illness was most probably caused 24 hours to 10 days following a miscarriage.
"Funeral.
The funeral of Mrs. Margaret Campbell will take place at St. Thomas' Catholic Church, to-morrow, at 2 o'clock P.M., from her late residence, 239 north 6th st. The friends of the family are requested to attend."
