651 Hugh CAMPBELL and Margaret BOSWELL had at least one child, Hugh CAMPBELL of Barquharrie, afterwards of Mayfield. He was Comptroller of the Customs at Ayr. He married Margaret HENDERSON on 10 Jan 1727. She was the daughter of David HENDERSON of Tinochside. They had at least three sons (Hugh, Claud, and Bruce). Another son, Hume CAMPBELL, son of Hew CAMPBELL of Barquharrie, was born and baptised at the Tower of Cesnock 15 Jan 1742. He may have died
young. Also, my perusal of the OPRs also gave a Margaret CAMPBELL as their daughter, christened 27 Nov 1733.
********************
Hugh CAMPBELL (son of Hugh & Margaret BOSWELL) was born in 1734 and died in Feb 1813. He sold the part of his estate called Milrig (which was part of the paternal property acquired from Cesnock) to Colonel HUGHS, who in turn sold it to William GORDON of Milrig. IN 1863 it was owned by Captain A. D. TAIT.

652 Hugh Goodlat Campbell, c. at Killin on 26 November, 1766, and became a Merchant in Glasgow. He succeeded to his maternal lands of Logan, was retoured heir to his father on 6 July, 1803, and dsp by 20 March, 1827, when his sister Wilhemina Campbell was retoured his heir. Campbell, Hugh Goodlat (I5332)
 
653 HUGH, third Earl, grandson of the Chancellor, was declared by the Earl of Argyll, when recommending him to Carstares, to be  Campbell, Hugh 3rd Earl of Loudoun (I3417)
 
654 In 1318 Sir Duncan Campbell, son of Donald, younger brother of Sir Neil Campbell of Lochawe received a charter of the lands of Loudoun and Stevenson from King Robert I in a barony with Loudoun as its caput, for services of a knight. This was following his marriage to Susanna Crawford, heiress of Loudoun with whom also came the office of hereditary Sheriff of Ayr. Thus started the important branch of the Campbells, later Earls of Loudoun.

There is a complication in that early usage, following local pronunciation, often used Loudoun for Lothian - again for a geographical name but one with no Campbell connections.

Another Reference ...
Sir Duncan Campbell, who married Susanna, daughter and heiress of Sir Reginald Craufurd of Loudoun, was the second son of Sir Donald Campbell, second son of Sir Colin More Campbell of Lochow, ancestor of the Argyle family. They had a charter from Robert L dated 4th January 1318, " to Duncan Cambell and Susanna, spouse sue, of the lands of Loudoun and Steuinstoun, predictos Duncanus et Susannam, sponsam suam, hereditarie contingentes ratione dicte spouse." By this marriage he became Sheriff of Ayr as well as proprietor of the estate of Loudoun.

"Duncan son and heir of Donald Cambel and Amabilla his wife" was granted lands in Borgus parish, co. Kirkcudbright by "Roland Ascolog or Magachen and Katarina his wife" 
Campbell, Duncan of Loudoun (I0088)
 
655 In 1475-6 John, Earl of Ross and Lord of the Isles, the then chief of Clan Donald, was declared forfeit for making an independant treaty with the English and invading the King of Scots' lands, among other misdeeds. The Campbell Earl of Argyll was given a commission of fire and sword against him for failing to appear to answer the charges, but the matter was settled by negotiation and not long afterwards John of the Isles' son and heir, Angus Og MacDonald, was married to Earl Colin's daughter Isobella Campbell.

In 1481 a Clan Donald historian shows John of the Isles granting Knapdale to Earl Colin of Argyll, but in fact these lands were forfeit and were granted to the Earl by the King. John was in flight from his son in Islay at the time and no doubt made the grant to the Earl out of disdain for Angus Og to whom John's followers had turned out of disgust for his own mismanagement of the Lordship.

When the Earl of Argyll was granted Knapdale in 1481, and was put in charge of the royal lands in Kintyre, he left the MacDonalds of Largie in charge of their own lands in Kintyre, as they are to this day. The Earl made MacAllister, a local leader of Clan Donald, Constable of the strategic royal Castle of Tarbert, a post that family held for three hundred years until, the castle becoming redundant in the 18th century, they sold out and moved to Glasgow to make a living. Tarbert commands the pass from Kintyre to mainland Argyll. These actions were not those of an arch-enemy but were made and kept in trust.

When Angus Og, Lord of the Isles, was killed at Inverness by his Irish harper, his Campbell Lady Isobella is said to have returned to her father's castle of Innis Chonnel on Lochawe. Her son was born after his father's death and, by royal decree, grew up confined to the island of Innis Chonnel. His Campbell grandfather died when he was about three. He is said to have escaped as a boy of about 16 and later attempted unsuccessfully to claim the Lordship of the Isles. 
Campbell, Isobela (I3776)
 
656 In 1545 Katherine Campbell, wife of William Murray of Tullibardine, petitioned the Privy Council that she had been charged by a Macer at their Lordships' instance "to pas hame and remane in my awne place and twa mylis about the samin, as in ward, under the pane of tressoun," but if she was compelled to do so now in her husband's absence, and rem^'n "in his principale place," while there was no one but herself ' ) take care of his other lands and houses, " they will either all of decay, or become the spoil of Reivers. She therefore craves permission to go to and from, and remain upon any part Afithin the bounds of her husband's lands."  Campbell, Katherine (I2543)
 
657 In 1558 he sent a large fleet to Roag in the Isle of Skye to make a contract of marriage probably of one of his sons and Mary MacLeod. His expedition however was killed after having been entertained by Iain Dubh MacLeod, the usurping chief of the day.

There was a suspicion at the privy council, probably shared in by James V himself, that many of the disturbances in the Isles were secretly formented by the Argyll family, who in due course received the lands forfeited by the other chiefs. Alexander of Isla, being summoned to answer certain charges of Argyll, made his appearance at once, and gave in to the council a written statement, in which, among other things, he stated that the disturbed state of the Isles was mainly caused by the late Earl of Argyll and his brothers, Sir John Campbell of Calder, and Archibald Campbell of Skipnish. Archibald was summoned before James V, to give an account of the duties and rental of the Isles received by him, and was soon after his arrival imprisoned. He was liberated soon, but James V deprived him of the offices he still held in the Isles, some of which were bestowed on Alexander of Isla. After the death of James V he appears to have regained his authority over the Isles. He died in August 1558.

He was one of the first Campbell's (and first person of any importance in Scotland) to turn Protestant.

658 In 1565 James MacDonald of Duniveg and the Glens in Antrim died. His wife was Agnes Campbell, daughter of Colin, 3rd Earl of Argyll. Her grandson Sir James MacDonald of Duniveg and the Glens married Margaret Campbell, sister of Sir John Campbell of Cawdor. Her grand-daughter Mary MacDonald by her son Ranald of Smerby, was mother of Sir Alastair MacColla who ravaged Argyll in 1645.

Jim Houston )jhousto4@ix.netcom.com_of Fort Worth, Texas writes: Agnes Campbell is my 1st cousin, 14 times removed. From the Repository National Archives of Scotland the following letter is available.

659 In 1580, Mungo Campbell, natural son to John Campbell in Logan, married Janet Lokhart of Auchmilling whose father Alexander Lockart and mother Janet Anderson had both died. By this marriage he inherited the 6s. 8d. lands of Auchmilling;

Charter to Mungo Campbell, natural son to John Campbel in Logane, and Janet Lokhart in Auchmilling, his spouse, and their heirs, of the 6 s. 8 d. lands of Auchmilling now occupied by Alexander Lokhart, father of the said Janet, in said lordship, which lands belong to the said Alexander in liferent and the said Janet heritably, resigned by them for this regrant, paying yearly 10 s. 2 d., with duplication, services at courts, etc. Dated Edinburgh, 24th April 1580 ;
witnesses, Robert Aitldn, Robert Birrall, James Maistertoun and James Prymros, notary, servitors of the Iconimus. (f. 197.)

Most of the lands in Logan were held by the Campbell family of Auchmannoch. Mungo Campbell must have prospered, for in 1607 we find him gifting the 40d. lands of Dalschangan, aka Fallshead, to his third son James, or failing to his fourth son Matthew, or failing to his fifth son Robert. His first son was John and second son believed to be George.

Registration of Sasine, dated 12th December 1607, of Quintin [Mungo] Campbell of Auchmilling, in liferent, and James Campbell, his third lawful son, and the heirs lawfully to be procreated of his body, whom failing, Mathew Campbell, his fourth son, and the heirs lawfully to be procreated of his body, whom failing, Robert Campbell, his fifth son, and his heirs and assignees whomsoever, in fee, in the 40d. lands of Dalschangan occupied by John Woddell, in the lordship of Kylesmuir, on a Charter thereof to them dated at Kingzeanecleuch 20th May 1603, by Agnes Michell, only daughter of the deceased Robert Michell of Burneheid, with consent of Hugh, Lord of Loudoun, and George Michell in Burneheid, at whose instance she is interdicted, and also with consent of John Campbell of Kingzeanecleuch and William Campbell of Greinokmains for their interest. Sasine is given by David Reid in Craigheid, as bailie ; witnesses, Andrew Jamie in Auchmilling, James Wilsoun in Barquoyis, and William Cowthart in Mauchlene. 34

Mungo Campbell must have died about 1629, for in 1630 there is sasine for the 6s 8d lands of Auchmilling to John Campbell, son of deceased Mungo Campbell in Auchmilling.35

660 In 1663, Charles II restored to him the estates and the title of his father as Earl of Argyll.

In 1685 the son of the Marquess, the 9th Earl, invaded Scotland as part of Monmouth's Rebellion. Having set out from Holland with three ships and three hundred men, Argyll landed in Kintyre in May 1685. Collecting a couple of thousand of his clansmen he soon managed to seize the Campbell castle of Ardkinglas on the eastern shore of Loch Fyne. Thence he headed southwards by way of the Gareloch in an attempt to reach the Lowlands. In anticipation of his landing the Privy Council had already despatched a body of MacDonalds, Macleans and Athollmen, led by the Earl of Atholl with the title of Lord Lieutenant of Argyll. Confronted with this force Argyll's Campbells soon dispersed and their chief was taken prisoner. Being already under sentence of death from his previous conviction of 1681, he was carried off to Edinburgh and executed there on 30 June, his head being afterwards placed on the very same spike in the Tolbooth as that of his father twenty-five years earlier.In 1663

661 In 1676 John Campbell was granted the title of the Earl of Breadelbane by King Charles II. He was described by a contemporary 'as cunning as an fox, as wise as a serpent but as slippery as an eel'.

664 In 1759, Elizabeth (1734-90) marries the 5th Duke of Argyll. At that time, she was already the widow of the sixth Duke of Hamilton, who had married her "precipitously" (DNB) at half past midnight, using a bed curtain for a ring (Horace Walpole). She was thus the wife of two dukes, and the mother of four, and was created Baroness Hamilton in her own right in 1776. Her sons by the Duke of Argyll became successively sixth and seventh Dukes. The latter was a friend of Madame de Sta Gunning, Elizabeth (I0316)
 
665 In 1804 of Flora Campbell, Countess of Loudoun, daughter and heir to James Mure Campbell, the 5th Earl of Loudoun, married Lord Rawdon. Lord Rawdon succeeded his mother as Earl of Moira and, among other titles, Baron Hastings of Hastings, as a result of which he added the name Hastings to his surname and became Rawdon-Hastings. The barony of Hastings of Hastings is an English title which dates back to 1461. A distinguished soldier who was Commander-in-Chief of the Army in Scotland 1802-6, he was created a Knight of the Garter in 1812. He was Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief in India 1813-22 during which time he conquered Nepal and concluded a treaty with the Ghurka nation which endures to this day. In 1817 he was created Viscount Loudoun as a result of his marriage, Earl of Rawdon and Marquess of Hastings. He died in 1826 and the present Countess of Loudoun is his descendent through several marriages of heiresses. Her family surname is now Abney-Hastings.

When the Marquis died at Malta, he had promised his wife that they should lie in the same grave. As this could not in the circumstances be carried into effect, he desired his right hand to be amputated at his death and sent home, that it might be buried with the Marchioness. It was deposited in the family vault in Loudoun Kirk, and when she died in 1840 it was laid in the grave beside her body. The eldest of her three daughters was Lady Flora Hastings, and her only son became second Marquis of Hastings and sixth Earl of Loudoun. His eldest son, an officer in the army, was drowned at Liverpool in 1851 in his nineteenth year, and was succeeded by his brother, a poor unhappy and misguided youth, who made shipwreck of title, character, and estates. On his death in 1868, his sister, Edith Maude, wife of Charles Frederick Clifton, a member of an old Lancashire family, became Countess of Loudoun. She died in 1874 in her forty-first year, and directed by her will that her right hand be cut off and buried in Donington Park, the ancient possession of the Hastings family, which had been alienated by her brother, and the spot to be marked by a stone with the inscription,

675 Ironically, Rob Roy's mother was a Campbell, and since the name MacGregor was proscribed by William of Orange, Rob Roy used the name Campbell at various times throughout his life and hid (with permission) on the Duke of Argyll's lands while an outlaw. It is told and it was from his mother that he inherited his red hair, leading to his nickname, Rob Ruadh (Gaelic for Red) which was later anglicised into Rob Roy.

681 It is not exactly clear, but this individual may have led a shipload of Campbell emmigrants to North Carolina in 1739 (History of the Campbell's, vol 3, page 222)

http://www.kintyremag.co.uk/1998/15/page2.html states that Duncan was "direct descendant of Patrick Dow, grandson of the third laird of Auchinbreck". This would have been Duncan's great-grandfather Patrick.

Duncan Campbell of Kilduskland did not remain long in the Colonies. He returned to Scotland and in 1756 he sold his American Estates through his attorney, "Bluff" Hector McNeill.

He appeared before the Presbytery of Inveraray on 3rd November 1741 to appeal for the provision of a Gaelic speaking minister for the colony but was unsuccessful since this want was not met till the arrival of James Campbell in 1758.

As to Campbell involvement in colonisation, a researcher on Campbell genealogy, Rev. Richard Borthwick, suggests that Duncan Campbell's maternal uncle, Duncan Campbell of Kilduskland, was one of five leaders from the Campbells Argyll in the settlement of North Carolina in 1739. This has not been ascertained.

682 It is possible that the founder of the Campbells of Auchmannoch -- John Campbell in Logan --could have been the natural son of this George Campbell of Loudoun though no documentary proof is known to exist. Campbell, George of Loudoun (I1617)
 
683 It was the sister of George, the seventh Earl, Lady Flora Hastings, whose unhappy life severely shook the monarchy and Whig government in 1839. Queen Victoria had come to the throne in 1837 at the tender age of 18. She was determined to change what she saw as the undesirable laxity of the Regency court of which her mother, the duchess of Kent, was perceived to have been a part.
Victoria fell out with her mother whom she felt was more concerned with her own affairs than the good of Great Britain for which Victoria, guided by Prime Minister Lord Melbourne, felt responsible.

Lady Flora Hastings was a Lady of the Bed Chamber to the Duchess of Kent. In the background was Sir John Conroy, Comptroller of the Duchess of Kent's household, and, it seems, concerned to promote his own as well as her interests.

Queen Victoria was shocked to learn that, apparently, Lady Flora and Conroy travelled by coach together from Scotland without a chaperon. Shortly after, Lady Flora Hastings contracted a liver disorder, one of the outward effects of which appeared to suggest a pregnancy and Court gossip raged. Medical opinion confirmed her illness but her family were understandably angry at the way Lady Flora had been treated and Lord Melbourne, in a rare failing, did not deal with the matter adequately. There was a surge of public indignation in Lady Flora's favour and Queen Victoria's early popularity vanished in a few weeks as a result of her perceived mistreatment of Flora Hastings.

When Lady Flora later became ill and her stomach swelled, Victoria and her court came to the shocking conclusion that she was pregnant.
Lady Flora protested her innocence but the Queen made her submit to a painful and humiliating medical examination. Although it turned out that she was indeed a virgin, and suffering from stomach cancer, Lady Flora's name was never completely cleared.

There was a reconciliation in June 1839 when, virtually on her death bed, Lady Flora thanked the Queen (still in her teens) for her help shown during her illness and received from the Queen the Lady Flora bracelet which is still in the family.

Lady Flora's grave is in Loudoun Old Parish Kirk.

Isabella married her second husband Donald MacDonald who was a discharged private in the Coldstream Guards, a marriage that her family felt was beneath her. Donald worked for the family. Isabella's family wouldn't let her take all her children with her when she and Donald moved to Cape Breton. They would only let her take 2 of her 7 Campbell children. The boys who were allowed to go to Cape Breton were Charles James and Lauchlan Campbell.

Isabella and Donald settled in Kempt Road (near River Inhabinants) Cape Breton. Isabella drowned when on a trip to Arichat. Donald MacDonald and his cousin a Mr. John MacLean were charged with Isabella's death which happened on Nov.3 1840. I was wondering if you would know of anyone who might be able to tell me what happened to Donald MacDonald . I only have got as far as finding out that an arrest warrant was sent out for both men in Dec.18 1840 .This I know strays from the Campbell project but I thought I must try.

686 James and Patrick Campbell were sent to Glasgow and Edinburgh, James to have a medical education and Patrick to be educated for the ministry. They got their degrees in due course of time and decided they must also go to America. It was about 1848 that they came to Franklin, Tennessee, where the brothers had already settled.

James did not like "America" and soon decided to go "back home," so he packed his kit and went back to Ireland and Drumaboden. He soon got an appointment as surgeon in the British Navy. He went away in H.M.S. vessel and they cruised in the Carribean Sea. He then took sick and died and is buried on the Island of
