I have a more accurate genealogy of this Campbell of Barbreck family, copied from a book I found in Glasgow's Mitchell, but at the moment can't find the title of the book. Donald Campbell of Barbreck had two sons (according to this genealogy), Archibald who succeeded to Barbreck and John, of Castlehill in Caithness. Archibald was deprived of his estates in May 1752, for the reasons mentioned in Harvey Johnston. He married Barbara Stewart of Bute and they had 2 sons: James and John. Archibald's brother John of Castlehill (mentioned as a brother german, or full brother) had 2 daughters, Isabel and Janet, and possibly a son Archibald. Janet married James Budge of Toftinghall, and her sister Isabel married her cousin James, who was never "of Barbreck". They apparently had one son, who died abroad, unmarried. Going back to John, brother of James and son of Archibald last "of Barbreck" in this family, as you know he married Elizabeth Hay of Hartfield. They had: Charles, mentioned in Harvey Johnston; & Lionel, who married a daughter of Sir James Campbell of Auchinbreck and died in 1804. The author of this wee book and its genealogy was relating the contents of a letter written by a daughter of Donald Campbell (1751-1804), eldest son of Colonel Charles Campbell, so I assume it to be fairly accurate (unlike Harvey Johnston). A descendant in South Africa has contributed to the Clan Campbell YDNA database.
The book was "A Letter to Mrs. Campbell of Barbreck, containing an account of the Campbells of Barbreck, from their first ancestor to the present time", published 1st January 1830 by Frederick William Campbell.
