- [Transcription of Samuel Campbell’s will by Jay Campbell, October 24, 2010. It is
transcribed from the version located in the Joel Campbell website. I have corrected some
spelling, punctuation, and upper/lower case to improve reading in some cases but in
others left the original spelling intact. The wording used is almost identical to other wills
of the period from this region of New York. These are Samuel’s wishes, but certainly not his words. Items in brackets are comments not in the will.]
