James Campbell (1805-1856) was taxed as a gunsmith in Middletown, PA, from 1831 to the mid-1840’s. Campbell was one of several gunsmiths to work in or near this boro, the oldest in Dauphin County, strategically located mid-way between Lancaster and Carlisle on the original Pennsylvania turnpike road. Architecturally, Middletown rifles often reflect a modified, yet distinct association to those produced in nearby Lancaster.
