Von Campenhausen family did not originate from Sweden (it originated from what is now Netherlands, but already in 1492 there are records of the family having arrived in Riga) and the branch to which BvC was born in 1772 was Baltic German, i.e. had been German-speakers for several centuries before that (also during the time when Livonia belonged to Sweden and the family became members of Swedish aristocracy -- however by 1772 that would have applied to only those members of the family still resident in Sweden, but not those in Livonia).
See [ http://www.riddarhuset.se/jsp/index.jsp?id=553 ] this from "the Swedish Peerage Book", Sveriges Adelskalender, a catalogue listing all the living members of the Swedish nobility:
Adliga ätten von Campenhausen
Ingress Enligt traditionen (uppgift i den adlades sköldebrev) skall ätten härstamma från Spanska Nederländerna. Namnet uppträder i Riga redan 1492. En Herman Camphusen framträdde 1622 5/10 i Stockholm, där han sökte burskap. Hans äldste son Lorentz (död 1672), kapten vid artilleriet, adlades 1665 21/9 med namnet von Campenhausen och introducerades 1672 19/9 under nr 816. En yngre son, fortifikationskaptenen Johan (Herman) Camphusen (1641–1705), adlades 1675 24/9 med namnet von Campenhausen och introducerades samma år 22/9 under nr 881. Dennes sonson, generallöjtnanten i rysk tjänst Johan Baltasar von Campenhausen, upphöjdes i svenskt friherrligt stånd 1744 11/6 men tog aldrig introduktion i denna egenskap. Ätten har sedan 1700-talets början varit spridd över Östersjöprovinserna, företrädesvis i Livland, där den 1745 och 1747 inskrevs som nr 91 bland adliga ätter och som nr 92 bland friherrar. Nedanstående grenar har 1950 och 1961 återvunnit representationsrätt på Sveriges Riddarhus. Medlemmar av den yngre grenen är även bosatta i Tyskland.
