751 JOHN, fourth Earl, was one of the Representative Peers for the long period of forty-eight years. He was distinguished for his military talents, and held numerous important offices both at home and abroad. In 1745, when the Jacobite rebellion took place, he raised a regiment of Highlanders for the service of the Government, of which he was appointed colonel. He fought at the battle of Preston, and was active and energetic in suppressing the rising in the northern counties. In 1756 the Earl was appointed Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of the province of Virginia, and shortly after was nominated Commander-in-Chief of all the British forces in America. He was second in command of the British troops sent to Portugal in February, 1762, when Spain declared war against that country. He died in 1782, in his seventy-seventh year.  Campbell, John 4th Earl of Loudoun (I3421)
 
752 John, second son of Earl Cohn, was ancestor of the Campbells of Lochnellflio (Lochnell) have, both in ancient and modern times, stood next in succession to the earldom. Campbell, John Gorm 1st of Lochnell (I0169)
 
753 John, third earl, born in 1696, was educated at the university of Oxford, and after holding many highly important public offices, died at Holyroodhouse, 26th January 1782, in his 86th year. He was twice married, and had three sons, who all predeceased him.

JOHN, third Earl, born in 1696, was noted for his precocious talents and attainments. In 1718, at the age of twenty-two, he was sent as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the Court of Denmark, and in 1731 was appointed ambassador to Russia. He sat for a good many years in the House of Commons as member first for the borough of Saltash and then for Oxford, was a steady supporter of Sir Robert Walpole, and was for some time one of the Lords of the Admiralty. After his accession to the peerage he was appointed, in 1761, Lord Chief Justice in Eyre, and in 1776 was nominated Vice-Admiral of Scotland. His first wife was Lady Annabella Grey, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Henry, Duke of Kent, an ancient and illustrious English house, and by her he had a son, who died in infancy, and a daughter, who succeeded her grandfather as Baroness Lucas and Marchioness de Grey (see HUMES OF MARCHMONT). By his second wife Lord Breadalbane had two sons, who predeceased him. The younger, who bore the courtesy title of Lord Glenorchy, died in 1771 at the age of thirty-four, leaving no surviving issue. He married in 1761 Willielma, second daughter and co-heiress of William Maxwell of Preston, a cadet of the Nithsdale family

Phil Norfleet writes:

The name "Grace" comes from the Latin and means "graceful" or "lovely." In French the name is rendered as "Grazielle." In Scotland the name is frequently rendered as "Grissell," a variation on the French pronounciation and spelling.

In my research among the 18th century records of Orange and Augusta County VA, I have never seen the name "Grace (or Grissell) Campbell" or "Grace Hay" appear. Accordingly, I am unable to provide any documentary verification as to Grace Hay's existence as the wife of John Campbell (d. 1741).

(Note - McCaslin document does mention Grizle Hay)

There are many questions concerning this line. One of the biggest is where is John Campbell who married Grace Hay buried, ie did he die in Derry Twp, Lancaster, PA in 1734 as suggested by many in this sketch or did he died in VA in 1741 as suggested by Pilcher (p 12 quoted below and Phil Norfleet

======================================================================================================================

p136 He was taken captive by Indians in 1759, and escaped 3 years later, after being held in Canada

From "Virginia, The New Dominion" p.123:

"Whatever the rights & wrongs of [the Proclamation Line of 1763] - and certainly the Indians were swindled out of their lands over & over again by both the British & the Americans - the announcement of the Proclamation Line was not gratefully received by VA's land-hungry frontiersmen. It was, in fact, ignored.

"For example, in about the year 1770, John & Arthur Campbell moved from their home near Staunton to a broad tract near Wolf Hills, on the site of the present Abingdon. This tract on the Holston River was west of the Proclamation Line, a fact which did not disturb the Campbells. Other prominent families from the Staunton area, such as the Russells, Christians, Flemings, Looneys & Prestons moved into the same general region at about this time. These were educated men & women, mainly Scotch-Irish in background, with conspicuous talents for leadership."

p. 134:

"The Virginia Convention of 1776 was not only determined to retain the 'inestimable privileges' to which the Fincastle Resolutions referred, but also to move firmly & inexorably toward complete separation from Great Britain. Delegates arrived from all corners of the colony with that thought in mind. Some were clad in the elegany dress of Tidewater, while others wore buckskin or homespun of the mountain regions. From every section came men with tall & rangy physiques. Hugh Blair Grigsby, the indefatigable chronicler of 3 major Virginia conventions, wrote:

'Washington ... the Lewises, the Randolphs, George Mason, Pendleton, the Cabells, the Carringtons, Henry, Bland, the Lees, Jefferson, the Campbells, Blair, Tazewell were nearly all fully 6 feet ... Madison was probably the only very small man in the Convention of 1776. Of a later date, Marshall & Monroe were tall ... It was for a long time believed in England that the Virginians approached the gigantic.'"

pp9-10 "One of [Col. John Sevier's] closest associates in both war & peace was Col. Arthur Campbell, a brother-in-law of Virginia's distinguished Gov Patrick Henry. Campbell, who had won renown in the war against the British, owned one of the largest farms in the Cumberland & was making experiments to determine what crops produced the biggest yield. Austere in appearance & in manner, Col Campbell became violent when defending the cause of liberty, which he held sacred. Everyone in the area knew that his anger would be aroused & he would become the permanent enemy of anyone who tried to curb personal freedoms."

pp 13-15 "Until that time [When the NC legislature condemned the Confederation Congress for'interfering in matters that are beyond the scope of its authority & none of its concern,' for passing a resolution that separate states should be made from the 'unapportioned western territory of VA, NC, & GA.] the majority of citizens in the West had not shown much interest in separate statehood. Men who had been conquering the wilderness had been too busy for politics &, ever optimistic, had assumed they would be treated fairly. Now they bristled. . . . . .

"The first to draw up a specific plan was Col Arthur Campbell, who said, 'The established states have challenged us by balancing a chip on their collective shoulder. We must knock it off.'

"Unfortunately, the scheme he devised was too ambitious & thoroughly unrealistic. He envisaged the entire West banding together in 1 huge state, but he quickly learned that others did not feel as he did. The Cumberland & KY had no desire to merge, & residents of the Ohio Valley wanted nothing to do with either. Campbell drew up his first plan in May or June, 1782, & by Sept revised it, addressing himself only to his fellow Cumberland dwellers.

"He & John Sevier were close friends, having served together in the war against the British, so it is reasonable to assume that Sevier read Campbell's plan. The man who would become the undisputed leader of the Cumberland made no comment in writing, however, so his precise, immediate reaction is not known. In view of what followed, he probably agreed with every word.

"In any event, Campbell appeared confident that he had the support of his neoghbors & sent his plan to the Confederation Congress in the form of a petition, requesting that the Cumberland be allowed to separpate from NC & form a state of its own. Either by design or a remarkable coincidence, Congress more or less simultaneously received a similar petition from a number of KY residents who wanted to separate from VA."

" Gov Alexander Martin of NC responded to Campbell's petition with the surface calm of a politician who, if he could help it, had no intention of being manuevered into a corner."

p19 Sevier . . . wrote to Col Campbell, 'Our most loyal supporters are those who have just arrived & are still clearing their land. They have said a final farewell to NC, & they clamor for the formation of a new state.'"

p26 ". . . the indignation that swept through the Cumberland was spontaneous when men heard the news of the cession bill. Sevier, Col Campbell & their friends were not reluctant to fan the flames of anger. By now Campbell was considered the 'father of Cumberland independence,' & the ambitions of Sevier, which had been growing rapidly, appeared to be within reach.

"Campbell was the moving spirit in a campaign to call a convention of Cumberland citizens for the purpose of considering whether the territory should accept the NC cession or take 'other steps,' as Campbell vaguely said in letters he sent to virtually everyone he knew. He did not specify the nature of these 'other steps,' & there was no need to spell out his meaning. Wilderness men realized that the real purpose of holding a convention was to determine how & when the territory would declare itself free of NC &, in defiance of Gov Martin & his legislature, set up a free & independent state that would then apply for admission to the Union."

p41 "Col Campbell went off to NC to test the 'true sentiments' of Martin & Caswell & returned with a fresh desire to go ahead with the formation of a new state. Both the old Gov & his successor had made it plain to him that they were unalterably opposed to the secession of the Cumberland. Campbell had asked what would prevent them from repealing a new Cession Act, & their evasive replies convinced him that such an act would be as flimsy & temporary as the earlier one.

"The Cumberland leaders no longer hesitated. Sevier, Campbell & the others closed ranks, & the temporary constitution was put into effect. . . . .

"The state of Franklin was inching its way into being."

p42 " Col Campbell was the author of a long, persuasive petition sent to the Confederation Congress early in the spring of 1785, requesting Franklin be admitted to the Union as a state. During this time he corresponded with a number of KY leaders, urging them to reconsider & jhoin the people of the Cumberland in forming a new state."

p151-2 "Col Arthur Campbell retired from politics & military life after the formation of the Southwest Territory & devoted himself to the management of his large estates. Late in life he moved to KY, where he also owned considerable property. Campbell County, on the TN side of the border with KY, was named after him."
-----------------------------------------------

Colonel Arthur Campbell was one of the most distinguished pioneers of the Southeastern Kentucky. He was of Scottish extraction and was born in Augusta County, Virginia, November 3, 1754, old style, and died at site of present Middlesboro, then Knox, now Bell County, August 8, 1811. He was a man of importance and very influential in the early affairs of Southwestern Virginia and Southeastern Kentucky. He represented Fincastle County in the first constitutional convention of Virginia in 1776; was one of the first justices of the peace of Washington County, and of Fincastle County, 1773; was county lieutenant of Washington County; and was a lieutenant colonel of the (Washington County), Virginia militia. (1) Colonel Campbell married his cousin, Margaret Campbell, daughter of Charles and sister to General William Campbell. In 1766 with his wife, he settled at Royal Oak, a mile east of present Marion, Smyth County, Virginia. Subsequently he settled on his plantation on Yellow Creek, site of present Middlesboro, Kentucky. He had acquired a very large estate of lands in Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, negro slaves and other personal property at date of death, which was bequeathed to his widow and their children by will which was proved in the Knox (Kentucky) County Court in 1811. William Campbell John B. Campbell died28 Aug 1814 Charles Lewis Campbell Arthur Lee Campbell James Campbell Elizabeth Campbell Margaret Campbell Mary Campbell Jane B. Campbell Martha C. Campbell Ann Augusta Campbell son Campbell When Middlesboro first attracted the attention of the business people and was being developed, the grave of Colonel Arthur Campbell was discovered in an out-of-the-way place. The remains were removed by his Tennessee relatives and the grave newly marked. The grave was marked by an iron slab bearing the inscription: "Sacred to the memory of Colonel Arthur Campbell, who was born in Augusta County, Virginia, November 3, 1754, old style, and after a well-spent life, as his last moments did and well could approve, of sixty-seven years, eight months and twenty-five days, ere a constitution preserved by rigid temperance and otherwise moral and healthy, could but with reluctance consent. (4) The lamp was blown out by the devouring effects of a cancer on the eighth day of August, 1811, leaving a widow, six sons and six daughters to mourn his loss and emulate his virtues. "Here lies, entombed, a Revolutionary sage, An ardent patriot of the age. In erudition great, and useful knowledge to scan- In philanthropy hospitable, the friend to man, As a soldier brave Virtue, his morality. As a commander, prudent His religion, charity. He practiced temperance to preserve his health He used industry to acquire wealth. He studied physic to avoid disease. He studied himself to complete his plan. For his greatest study was to study man. His stature tall, His person portly, His features handsome, His manners courtly. Sleep, honored, sire In the realms of rest In doing justice to thy memory, A son is blest. A son is inheriting in full thy name, One who Aspires to all thy fame.

764 Journal of The Clan Campbell, Vol. 28 No. 4, Autumn 2001. Silas McCaslin doucument. This has been deemed more reliable than Pilcher. Ruby (CCSNA) has the same seven children.

= = = = = = = = = = = = =

The Campbell-McCoy line has been fairly well researched but (speaking on behalf of Clan Campbell), as of today (July 2014) is reasonably dead end. Here's what I know.

1. Most people reference Pilcher's book on this line. But this book is wrong. The Clan Campbell Society of America does not acknowledge this as a reliable source. (Burkes peerage also constains an error about this line.)

2. The best online source that summarizes the known information is Phil Norfleets site (http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/n/o/r/Philip--Norfleet/BOOK-0001/0004-0001.html )

3. The latest generally accepted line has John Campbell (husband of Mary McCoy) the son of John Campbell (husband of Grace/Grissell Hay) the son of Duncan Campbell (husband of Mary Ramsey). Nothing is confirmed on who the father of Duncan Campbell might be.

4. The latest thinking is summarized in several CCSNA articles from 2001. This thinking is based upon the mysterious Silas McCaslin document. See the links below.

5. The Campbell DNA Project has several Campbell-Hay participants but has, as of yet, been unable to provide any firm conclusions. Several things are obvious. First, this was a prolific line. There are a very large number of US descendants related to this line. Second, this line most certainly goes back deeply to Scotland and may be an offshoot of the chiefly line hundred of years ago. As you can see in the articles below, there is some speculation that this is related to the Auchinbreck cadet line.

I believe that this summarizes the current state of affairs. It's a shame that with so many people descending from this line that more current research hasn't been done on it. I think that there is just a general feeling that researchers have exhausted all leads.

He was alone at Inverawe, so the tale goes, when a frantic man burst in and rushed up to touch the hearth, claiming sanctuary and explaining that he had killed a man. Inverawe hid him in the upper part of the house, in a room which is there to this day; when the posse arrived, he was dismayed to find that the murder victim was his own foster-brother. The laws of Highland Hospitality, however; held him firm and he did not give up his unwelcome guest. He did however transfer him to a cave on Cruachan. That night the ghost of the murdered foster-brother appeared to Inverawe, telling him to give up the killer. This he refused to do. The same thing happened on the second night and on the third, the ghostly apparition bade him farewell saying
