Campbell, Robert

Campbell, Robert, Licensed and Authorized Surveyor, Whangaroa. Mr. Campbell was born in Canada West, below Toronto, and came to Melbourne in the ship “Crystal Palace” in 1855, and thence to Auckland in the schooner “Grafton.” The family had an interest in 1500 acres of land in Oruru Valley, near Mongonui North. After remaining on the land for some years, Mr. Campbell joined Mr. Richardson, Government surveyor, and remained with him about two years, afterwards going to Australia. On his return he spent three years on the Thames goldfields, then came back to Mongonui and joined his brother Mr. S. Campbell, a Government surveyor, with whom he remained about four years, since which time he has been surveying on his own account.
