Eyton (Thomas Campbell), 1809-80 
Thomas Campbell Eyton, of Eyton and Walford Manor, 
Shropshire, was the eldest son of Thomas Eyton, of Eyton, 
by his marriage with Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Major- 
General Donald Campbell, and was born at Eyton Hall, 
September 10, 1809. He was educated at St. John’s College, 
Cambridge, and was a Fellow of the Linnean, Geological, and 
Zoological Societies. He numbered among his friends 
Darwin, Wallace, Agassiz, and Owen. He came into the 
Eyton Hall estate in 1855, and built a spacious museum, in 
which he amassed a large collection of birds and bird- 
skeletons, most of the latter being prepared by himself. 
On his death, his museum was dispersed, the types and some 
of the more important specimens are now in the British 
Museum, 108 skeletons and 205 skins in all being acquired.
