MARTN (ROBERT CAMPBELL JR.) PAPERS Mss. 1045 1767-1932 LSU LBRARES SPECAL COLLECTONS BOGRAPHCAL/HSTORCAL NOTE n 1839, Robert Campbell Martin, Jr., was born to Robert Campbell Martin, Sr., (1813-1881) and Mary Winifred Pugh Martin (1815-1858) in Rapides Parish, Louisiana. Both of Robert Campbell Jr. s parents were originally from North Carolina. Robert Campbell, Sr., son of Peter Boyd Martin (1777-1838) and Janet Smith Bryan Martin (1789-1818), was born in Bertie County, North Carolina. Besides Robert Campbell, Sr., the couple had two daughters: Elisabeth Gray (1814-1832) and Susan Bryan (1815-1883). On February 8, 1818, their second son, Samuel Hyman, was born. Four days later, however, both Samuel and Janet died. Soon after his wife s death, Peter Boyd Martin and his three remaining children moved to Rapides Parish, Louisiana. Robert Campbell Jr. s mother, Mary Winifred Pugh Martin, was also born in Bertie County. Her great grandfather, Colonel Thomas Pugh (1726-1806), obtained land in North Carolina from the Tuscarora ndians during the 1760s and 1770s. Census records show that by 1820, Mary Winifred Pugh Martin s father, Whitmel Hill Pugh, had moved the family to Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. n 1835, she married Robert Campbell Martin, Sr. Robert and Mary had a total of six children. Besides Robert Campbell Jr., they had three more sons and one daughter: Mary Janet (1836-1843), William Whitmel (1840-1863), James Bryan (1844-1921), and Thomas Pugh (1846-1910). They also had another son, Peter Boyd (1842) who died only a day after his birth. n 1839, Robert Campbell Sr. bought the plantation in Assumption Parish, Louisiana, which has since been known as Albemarle. This sugar producing plantation, possibly named after a historic county in North Carolina, would remain in the family for multiple generations. Both Robert Campbell Jr. and his brother, William Whitmel, attended the University of North Carolina (ca. 1858), but later returned to Assumption Parish. n 1861, Robert Campbell Jr. married Margaret Ann Chisholm Littlejohn (1837-1879), daughter of Reverend William Littlejohn (b. 1811) and Eliza Ann Chisholm Littlejohn, at Melrose Plantation in Assumption Parish. Margaret had two brothers who, like the Martins, were also involved in sugar planting. n 1862, Robert and Margaret s first child, Robert Campbell was born at Melrose Plantation. Several members of the Martin and Littlejohn families moved to Texas during the Civil War. t was here that Robert and Margaret s second child, William Littlejohn, was born in 1865. However, all of the Martin sons, including Robert Campbell Jr., assumed service in the Confederate Army. William Whitmel Martin entered the 8 th Louisiana Regiment at its formation as a private and was later made 2 nd lieutenant. While taking a leave of absence in Assumption Parish to recover his health, he raised a company, formerly part of the 26 th Louisiana volunteer infantry, of which he was captain. He was promoted to the rank of major several months before he was killed at the battle of Vicksburg (1862). Robert Campbell Jr. served as 1 st lieutenant of Company C in the 26 th Louisiana volunteer infantry. 4

MARTN (ROBERT CAMPBELL JR.) PAPERS Mss. 1045 1767-1932 LSU LBRARES SPECAL COLLECTONS Like his brother, he also participated in the battle of Chickasaw Bayou and the siege of Vicksburg. After the Civil War, Margaret and the two children returned to Assumption Parish, Louisiana, while the rest of the Littlejohns remained in Texas. n 1867, Robert Campbell Jr. and Margaret had their third child, William Whitmel Pugh. The next year, Robert Campbell Sr. returned to Albemarle Plantation and recommenced planting with his three sons: Robert Campbell Jr., James Bryan, and Thomas Pugh. n 1879, Robert Campbell Jr. and Margaret had their last child, Margaret Eliza. However, the mother died five days after giving birth, and the baby died seven months later. Around 1905, Robert Campbell Jr. married his second wife, Marie R. Theriot (b. 1859). He lived in Assumption Parish until his death in 1916. 5
