For nearly one hundred years there was a Dr Campbell practicing medicine in Putney, Windham County, Vermont. Other doctor members of this family were prominent and famous physicians as well elsewhere in the state. The first of the Putney doctors was Dr. John Campbell who came from Oxford, Ma and was in practice here by 1786. He was born in 1754, married Martha Stevens of Oxford and died in 1820. At his death his home place was deeded to David Crawford and later became the property of Mrs. Caddie Fuller who lives there now. When Dr. Campbell came to Putney, the famous Dr. Josiah Goodhue was the town's physician and the two practiced amicably until 1803 when Dr. Goodhue moved to Chester, VT. Dr. Campbell remained the leading practitioner in town for 34 years. Following Dr. John was his brother Dr. Alexander Campbell who was fifteen years younger. The third was Alexander's son born in 1793 who practiced in Putney for 53 years. He died in 1866 after a long and respected life among the people in Putney. His home was at the head of Kimball Hill, the place now owned by Omar Buxton.
A third brother of John and Alexander was Thomas, a Revolutionary soldier who died here in 1844. The father of these three brothers was Duncan Campbell who lived in Putney for some years but later moved back in Oxford MA, until he died in 1795. Duncan was the son of Reverend John Campbell (1690-1761) who was a minister in Oxford from 1721 to the time of his death in 1761. Duncan had a brother, Captain William Campbell, who was a selectman of Putney in 1787, but later moved to Castleton, Vt. He had been captain of an Oxford company in the Revolution before coming to Putney to live. Another brother, Reverend Archibald Campbell, preached in Putney occasionally. A third brother, Alexander, was a distinguished physician who remained in Oxford. This Dr. Campbell had two sons who became doctors and came to Vermont to practice. One was Dr. Alexander of Rockingham, and the other Dr. Edward R (known locally as "Dr Ned") was famous in Westminster. It is interesting to note that the last of the Campbell doctors was a grandson of "Dr Ned". He was Dr. Daniel Campbell who was born in Westminster and practiced for ten years in Westminster West and later in Saxton's River
