Born in County Down, he began a religious reform movement on the American frontier.[1] He was joined in the work by his son, Alexander. Their movement, known as the "Disciples of Christ", merged in 1832 with the similar movement led by Barton W.
Stone to form what is now described as the American Restoration Movement (also known as the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement).
