He was an Arglyllshire Highland.
Taken from "A Short History of the Campbell Family" by Daniel McIntyre (a grandson of John McIntyre) located on page 26
Elizabeth McIntyre, the second daughter of John Roy and Helen Stuart, a lineal descendant of the royal house of Stuart, his wife, was born in Appin, Arglyllshire, Scotland, in the year 1797. In 1805, she with her father's family, and other Arglyllshire Highlanders, emigrated to this country. Sailing from Greenock, in October of that year, after a long, tedious and tempestuous voyage of upwards of nine weeks, they arrived in New York. Among others on this ship, at this time, from Duart, Island of Mull, came Hector McLean, father of Colonel A.H. McLean, a family long prominent in Caledonia, but now without a lineal descendent living in the town. On the arrival of the McIntyre's, they at once proceeded to the Scotch settlement at Johnstown, NY. Here the family remained until 1814. Meanwhile, in 1811, Peter and Allan McIntyre,(brothers) with their sister Elizabeth, came on to the Genesse county, then being opened up for settlement, (thus "Grandma Mackenzie" when only fourteen years of age, came to help to make a home for her father's family, and was one of the first women, and certainly the youngest housekeeper. to settle in the "South Woods").
