I am looking for the parish of Samuel Campbell born in 1721 in Strabane. I would like to know more about the Campbells. Who they were and what they did. I only have names.

Dear carrotops113
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
I had a look on rootsireland.ie but couldn't see a baptism record for a Samuel Campbell between 1720 and 1740. As the time period of your search is very early, this is not entirely surprising.
Records for the Church of Ireland parish of Camus/Mourne (Strabane) do not begin until 1803 while Presbyterian records begin in 1828 for baptisms and 1845 for marriages. There will be no parish records available for anyone baptised or married before this in this particular parish. Do you know what religion Samuel was?
Best wishes
