John Harvey Campbell was the son of William 'Carson' Campbell and Lucinda 'Rebecca' Jane [Blackburn] Humphries. Rebecca was born in Dyer County, Tennessee, and her first marriage was to Robert Oden Humphries, who is laid to rest in the Ben Cemetery in Yell County. They had two daughters, Mary Hardena Harrell Humphries and Anna Oden Humphries, before Robert's death in 1865.
Carson Campbell was the second husband of Rebecca [Blackburn] Humphries. He was born in Gibson County, Tennessee, and moved to Yell County, Arkansas as a small boy with his father after the death of his mother.
Per Cornelia Taylor Daniels, "Carson served in the Confederate Army and also in the Union Army during the Civil War. Carson enlisted July 20, 1863, and was a private in the company commanded by Captain Henry C. Bell in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Phelps. He served for a term of three years and was discharged at Memphis, Tennessee on August 20, 1866. Carson told in his pension paper that he was taken prisoner by the Confederate Army late in the winter of 1862, possibly 1863. He was handcuffed and carried to Little Rock prison, where he stayed about ten days and joined the Confederate Army in order to get out of prison. He served under Hawthorn's Regiment Company B until about August of 1863, when he left them, came home and, at the first opportunity, joined the Federal Army in the fall of 1863 and served there until the close of the war."
Rebecca [Blackburn] Humphries married Carson Campbell on December 27, 1866 in Yell County. They farmed and raised their family in the Gum Springs Community of Yell County.
John Harvey was their oldest son and was born August 27, 1867, although his grave stone shows his date of birth as 1865. John's siblings were William Henry, Harrison Monroe, Epammanondas, Emma Hazentine, Ella ‘Margaret', Willis Bessa, Walter Ernest, Charles 'Charley' Ennis, and Lilly Myrtle Campbell.
John never married, but stayed with his parents, working on the farm, and eventually taking it over after their death.
