1001 See graphic of jis estate -- print from James Hakewill's 'A Picturesque Tour in the Island of Jamaica.' Cardiff Hall was one of the most desirable residences on the island. It was owned by John Balgrove who inherited the estate from his father in the early 19th century. Balgrove was born in Jamaica but was educated in England at Eton and the University of Oxford. To the right of the picture can be seen a large flat base on which the pimentos - one of the crops grown on the estate - were laid out to dry. Blagrove, John (I3894)

He broke up the Macgregor Clan as described below.

Archibald 7th Earl of Argyll, son of Colin, 6th Earl. In 1594, although then only eighteen, he was appointed king's lieutenant against the popish Earls of Huntly and Errol, who had raised a rebellion. In 1599, when measures were in progress for bringing the chiefs of the Isles under subjection to the king, the Earl of Argyll and his kinsman, John Campbell of Calder, were accused of having secretly used their influences to prevent Sir James Macdonald of Dunyveg and his clan from being reconciled to the government. He reduced the MacGregors, who were already under the ban of law, under their Chief Alasdair Macgregor of Glenstrae in 1603. The latter had made an irruption into the Lennox, and after defeating the Colquhouns and their adherents at Glenfruin, with great slaughter, plundered and ravaged the whole district, and threatened to burn the town of Dumbarton. Archibald had long before become the king's lieutenant in the "bounds of the clan Gregor", and he was answerable for all their excesses. It is said that instead of controlling them he to stirred them up to acts of violence and aggression against his own personal enemies, of whom the chief of the Colquhouns was one thus preparing the destruction of both clans. However, this may be, the execution of the severe statutes which were passed against the Macgregors after the conflict at Glenfruin, was intrusted to the Earls of Argyll and Athole, and their chief, with some of his principle followers, was enticed by Argyll to surrender to him, on condition that they would be allowed to leave the country. Argyll received them kindly, and assured them that though he was commanded by the king to apprehend them, he had little doubt he would be able to procure a pardon, and, in the meantime, he would send them to England under an escort, which would convey them off Scottish ground. It was Macgregor's intention, if taken to London, to procure if possible and interview with the king; but Argyll prevented this; yet, that he might fulfil his promise, he sent them under a strong guard beyond the Tweed at Berwick, and instantly compelled them to retrace their steps to Edinburgh, where they were executed 18th January 1604. How far there may have been deceit used in this matter, - whether, according to Birrel, Argyll "keipit ane Hielandman's promise; in respect he sent the gaird to convey him out of Scottis grund, but thai were not directit to pairt with him, but to fetch him bak agane"; or whether their return was by orders from the king, cannot at the present time be ascertained.

In 1607 Archibald was granted the Crown tenancy of Kintyre forfeited by the MacDonalds. He also received Jura and at once set about hunting down and evicting any MacDonalds still remaining there. He forced Sir James MacDonald of Islay to surrender to the Crown in 1614. In 1616 his younger son became Lord of Kintyre. The frequent insurrections which occurred in the South Isles in the first fifteen years of the seventeenth century have also been imputed by Mr Gregory to Argyll and the Campbells, for their own purposes. The proceedings of these clans were so violent and illegal, that the king became highly incensed against Clan Donald, and finding, or supposing he had a right to dispose of their possessions both in Kintyre and Isla, he made a grant of them to the Earl of Argyll and the Campbells. This gave rise to a number of bloody conflicts between the Campbells and the Clan Donald, in the years 1614, 1615, and 1616, which ended in the ruin of the latter, and for the details of which, and the intrigues and proceedings of the Earl of Argyll to possess himself of the lands of that clan.

He was married to (First) Agnes a lady, to whom Sir William Alexander, afterwards Earl of Stirling, inscribed his "Aurora" in 1604, after her death and (Second) Anne.

Anne, daughter of Sir William Cornwall of Brome, ancestor of the Marquis Cornwallis. This lady was a Catholic, and although the earl was a warm and zealous Protestant when he married her, she gradually drew him over to profess the same faith as herself. After the year 1615, as Gregory remarks, his personal history presents a striking instance of the mutability of human affairs. In that year, being deep in debt, he went to England; but as he was the only chief that could keep the MacDonalds in order, the Privy Council wrote to the king urging him to send him home; and in his expedition against the Clan Donald he was accompanied by his son, Lord Lorn. In 1618, on pretence of going to the Spa for the benefit of his health, he received from the king permission to go abroad; and the news soon arrived that the earl, instead of going to the Spa, had gone to Spain; that he had there made open defection from the Protestant religion, and that he had entered into very suspicious dealings with the banished rebels, Sir John Macdonald and Alister MacRanald of Keppoch, who had taken refuge in that country.

On the 16th of February he was openly declared rebel and traitor, at the market cross of Edinburgh, and remained under this ban until the 22nd November 1621, when he was declared the king's free liege. Nevertheless, he did not venture to return to Britain during the reign of James VI. and died soon after his arrival in London, 1638 aged 62. From the time of his leaving Scotland, he never exercised any influence over his great estates; the fee of which had, indeed, been previously conveyed by him to his eldest son, Archibald, Lord Lorn, afterwards, eighth Earl of Argyll. By his first wife he had, besides this son, four daughters. By his second wife, the earl had a son and a daughter, viz, James, Earl of Irvine, and Lady Mary, married to James, second Lord Rollo.

In Electric Scotland they write:

Earl Colin was succeeded by his eldest son, Archibald, seventh Earl, who was then little more than eight years of age. In 1592, when he was in his seventeenth year, the young Earl married Lady Anne Douglas, fifth daughter of the Earl of Morton. Shortly after he became the object of a nefarious plot, which was directed also against his cousin, the

The Raschoille property was purchased by John Campbell [7th] of Duntroon from Allester Makesag on 7th August 1590, and thus remained in Campbell hands for nearly two hundred years. The name appears in documents under a variety of spellings-Raschoille, Raschellie, Raschylie, Raskaillie, Raskelzie, etc.-and I have merely chosen the first because it happens to be the most recent. As regards the pronunciation, it is sounded almost exactly like the English word " rashly."

It has been suggested that-present heir male of Duntroon family might be found, as a descendant of John Campbell of Duntroon (dispossessed in 1671), in humble circumstances.It is more probable that John left no male issue, and so the headship of the family passed to the line of his next brother, Alexander Campbell of Raschoille.

Alexander Campbell of Raschoille, who was the second son of Patrick of Duntroon, and received a charter of Raschoille from his father on 15 Nov. 1659.

On 27 July 1677, Alexander Campbell of Raschoille witnessed the charter to his cousin, Colin Campbell of Glencharran, and in the years 1670, 1671, 1672, 1679 and 1680 we find him as Martay of Ariskeodnish, and in 1681 as Deputy Martay. His wife was Margaret, daughter of Colin Campbell of Blairintibbert, who appears as Margaret, relict of Alexander Campbell of Raschoille, in the Account of the Plunderings in July 1685, where it is stated that she was living in the isle of Mack

Her was married three times, first to Isabella McAllister, sister of Col. Alexander McAllister, by whom he had five daughters; then to Elizabeth Whitfield Smith, widow of Alexander Smith, by whom he had three sons; and finally to Rachel Whitfield, who had no issue.

Campbell died in 1808 at a venerable age. His will disposed in minute detail of extensive properties in Cumberland County, including his plantation "Plenty Plains," where he lived at the time of his death, about 20 miles above Fayetteville on the upper Cape Fear. He is buried in a family graveyard nearly opposite Old Bluff Church.

Amy of Garmoran also known as Amie MacRuari and Euphemia was a 14th-century Scottish noblewoman who was the sister of Raghnall mac Ruaidhri, Lord of Garmoran and the spouse of John of Islay. After her marriage had produced three sons, the ambitious John of Islay divorced her in order to re-marry and cement his links with the House of Stewart. She then retired to her estates in the Highlands and Islands, and completed various ecclesiastical and other building projects. Her son Ranald was the progenitor of Clanranald.

Amie was a direct descendant of Somhairle mac Gille-Brighde (better known as Somerled), through her great-grandfather Ruaidhri mac Raghnaill, the founder of Mac Ruaidhri kindred.

"Fonia", the name of Ragnall's wife recorded in their grant to the priory of Paisley, may be an attempt to represent a Gaelic name in Latin.[119] According to late Hebridean tradition, preserved in the garbled History of the MacDonalds, Ragnall was married to "MacRandel's daughter, or, as some say, to a sister of Thomas Randel, Earl of Murray".[

The Clan Donald first came to prominence as Lords of the Isles in 1336 when Angus Og's son John of the Isles was recognised as such by Balliol, the puppet king of Scots supported by Edward III of England. About a century and a half later, in 1493, John MacDonald fourth Lord of the Isles and Earl of Ross, forfeited his titles to the king of Scots for treason. What brought about the forfeiture was that a change for the better in relations between the king of Scots and the English king revealed the Treaty of Ardtornish. In 1462 John of the Isles had made a treaty with Edward IV of England to conquer Scotland with him and the Earl of Douglas. In return MacDonald and Douglas would share Scotland north of the Forth as Edward's vassals

he first member of this Campbell family of Scotland to settle in Australia was Robert Campbell Senior (1769-1846) who is usually found in records as "Campbell of the Wharf" or "the elder". He visited Sydney in 1798 and in 1800 began a branch there of the mercantile partnership he had with his India resident merchant brother John becoming the first and for a few years the only merchant in the 1788 founded British colony of New South Wales. He married in 1801 and had seven children.

David Arathoon (davidarathoonstudio@sympatico.ca) writes: Launce's father was Duncan Campbell of Argyll, Scotland who married twice...firstly: Rebecca Campbell ( I think a cousin from Jamaica where her family had plantations; Blackriver Saltsprings etc. and secondly: my line Mary Mumford. Duncan my 5x grt grandfather, was known as the 'Hulk overseer of the Thames' and had contracts to take convicts to Sydney/Jamaica and maybe some slaves too. Later William become Gov General of New South Wales.

It is unknown precisely how Duncan became a convict contractor to North America, and how he made his decisions. But ten years after he left the navy, twenty years after he matriculated, he was partner of one of London's largest convict contractors, John Stewart, who regularly ran ships to North America, and who probably took space on ships to Portugal... but who did not run ships to Jamaica. As far as can be found, Campbell became the only British convict contractor who also regularly ran ships directly to Jamaica from London. Campbell ceased to transport convict to North America (Virginia and Maryland) in 1775. He was Overseer of Thames Prison Hulks, 1776-1803.

He hired Capt William Bligh his relation (Uncle-in-law of Captain William Bligh) to work for him. (Duncan Campbell originally owned the Ship Bounty). Below is Bligh's letter to Duncan Campbell, The Mrs. Campbell mentioned is Rebecca Campbell, Duncan's first wife, and Betsy is their niece.

Duncan Campbell, was the father of thirteen children

Letter #2: Letter to Duncan Campbell

Batavia Octr. 13th. 1789

Dear Sir

By the account that I enclose to you, you will see what hardships and difficulties I have undergone since I had the happyness to see you. What Mans situation could be so peculiarly flattering as mine twelve hours before the Revolt. I had a Ship in most perfect order and well stored with every necessary both for service and health-by early attention to those particulars I had acted against the power of chance in case I could not get through Endeavor Streights, as well as against any accident that might befall me in them, & to add to this I had most successfully got my Plants in a flourishing & fine order, so that upon the whole the Voyage was 3/1 completed & the remaining part no way doubtful. Every person was in the most perfect health, to establish which I had taken the greatest pains & bore a most anxious care through the whole course of the Voyage.

It will very naturally be asked what could be the reason for such a revolt, in answer to which I can only conjecture that they have Ideally assured themselves of a more happy life among the Otaheiteans than they could possibly have in England, which joined to female Connections, has most likely been the leading cause of the whole busyness.

My health has been much impaired but conscious of my honor and integrity with aself acquittal of every particle of disgrace It has buoyed my Spirits up in a most amazing degree-I have done more than ever Mandid-No Man shares with me in what honors I may receive, for I have none that merit it, they however shall never bear any part of my misfortune. I have saved their lives most miraculously & now to save my own I am obliged to fly from Batavia in the Packet which sails on the 15th. and leave all my people behind me except my Clerk & Servant. I have been since here almost dead with a fever, but it seems to be at present tolerably removed. I am still however in a precarious state & scarce can write to you my head is so distracted, the sea air I hope will again reestablish my health.

I leave this account to be transmitted to you by the next Ship that sails but I hope to arrive in England long before it. Should it please God not to give me' life to return let it be remembered there is no one here that is deserving of any attention from their country but my Clerk who has shewn much resolution & behaved well-also a Young Man a Mr. Hayward, but let this remain among ourselves until I return or not.

I think I see you feel for my situation but let it be in no other point than for my health-My Character & honor is spotless when examined, & I shall stand to be tried disspising mercy or forgiveness if it can be found I have been guilty even of an error in Judgement-Happy it is for me that my Clerk while I was bound, saved my Journals & every kind of Voucher, but every thing else was lost.

I write to my Dear Mrs. Bligh to your care also by this opportunity but she will require some information from you. My head is now distracted- I hope You & Mrs. Campbell enjoy perfect health & that I shall see you with all the family enjoying every felicity Give my kind respects & love to them all & believe me my Dear Sir Your most Affectionate Hrble Servt.

1040 Sir Archibald, son of Colin Oig, was given more lands due to his loyalty to David II. married twice, and had three sons, Duncan, Colin and David, and a daughter. It was probably him who entertained Malcolm MacLeod when the latter saved a Campbell clansman who had been sentenced to be crushed to death by a great bull. Gillespie had promised him the man's life if he could save it from the bull and so MacLeod took the bull by it's horns and to cries of "Hold Fast" defeated it.

In 1342, the King grants Gillespic the forfeited lands of Dougall and the Barony of Melfort.

GILLBSPICK, ARCHIBALD, or CELESTIN CAMPBELL of Lochow succeeded to his father before 2 May 1343, as on that date King David n. bestowed on him many forfeited lands, including those of Dowgall Campbell, his brother, and the barony of Morfrath (Melfort). He had a grant from Mary, Countess of Menteith, of the whole land of Kilmun, which was confirmed to him by a charter of King David 11. on 11 October 1363, wherein he is designed, ' Gilleaspoch Cambel, filius quondam Colini Cambe! militis.' Crawford says that he also obtained a large grant of lands from John Menteith, lord of Knapdale and Arran, who calls him his kinsman, Gileaspock Cambell, lord of Lochow, on 29 November 1352.

On 15 March 1368-69 he had a charter of the lands of Oraignish, Melfort, Straquhir, and others. 9 Gillespic Campbell appears in his place in Parliament as one of the barons, and in June 1368 was directed to come to the King to be bound to keep the peace and restrain marauders on other lands.

He was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia on 16 March, 1668, acquired the lands of Kilbride, near Dunblane, in 1669, and m. firstly at Edinburgh on 24 December, 1663, to Margaret, daughter of Alexander Foulis, of Ratho, (c/m 14 December, 1663. She was buried on 5 June, 1666).

1042 Sir Colin Oig Campbell, son of Sir Neil, received a charter from Robert the Bruce, his uncle dated Arbroath, 1316, married to a wife of the house of Lennox, they had three sons and a daughter. He obtained a charter from his uncle, King Robert Bruce, of the lands of Lochow and Artornish, dated at Arbroath, 10th February 1316, in which he is designated Colinus filius Cambel, militis. As a reward for assisting the Steward of Scotland in 1334 in the recovery of the castle of Dunoon, in Cowal, Sir Colin was made hereditary governor of the castle, and has the grant of certain lands for the support of his dignity. Sir Colin died about 1343.

Also summarized in History, Vol.1, page 72: King Robert granted the free barony of Lochawe and Ardscotnish to Colin on February 10, 1316 in exchange for service and a ship of 40 oars.

The following story is included on Electric Scotland:
Sir Colin, rendered important service to Edward Bruce in his Irish campaigns, and to David, son of King Robert, in assisting to expel the English invaders once more from the kingdom. It is of Sir Colin that the well-known story is told, that when marching through a wood in Ireland along with his uncle, King Robert, in February, 1317, an order was issued by that monarch that his men were on no account to quit their ranks. Sir Colin, irritated by the attacks of two English archers who discharged their arrows at him, rode after them to avenge the insult. King Robert followed, and nearly struck him from his horse with his truncheon, exclaiming,

1043 Sir Duncan, son of Sir Colin, known as "Abn Adh", "the Fortunate" - since he may have not been the eldest son of Colin. He was the first of the family to assume the designation of Argyll, was Lord Campbell prior to 1427, married to Marjory Stewart, the daughter of Regent Robert, Duke of Albany by whom he had three sons - Celestine, who died before him; Archibald, who also predeceased him, but left a son; and Colin, who was the first of Glenorchy, and ancestor of the Breadalbane family.
