Notes

Apparently the sons Hugh and Claud also died or were without issue as we find Bruce CAMPBELL designated as of Mayfield, Milrig, or of Hillhouse, as he was often styled in the parochial registers. He married Annabella WILSON, daugher of James WILSON of Kilmarnock. Their children were:

1. Hugh
2. Bruce, b. 25 may 1775; died unmarried. Captain E.I C.'s Naval service
3. Alexander. b. 23 Sept 1778, died Oct 1805 of wounds. He was a captain in the 74th regiment and distinguised for bravery. He is mentioned in Welch's "Reminiscences of India" for his bravery at the battle of Assaye. Upon his death the Duke of Wellington wrote a letter to his brother extending high compliments.
4. John, late in Sorn.
5. William, b. 4 May 1788, died Jan 1830

daughters:
1. Euphemia, married her cousin, Hugh WILSON, of Kilmarnock. She died in 1817, leaving a son Hugh CAMPBELL WILSON
2. Mariane, died April 1825, unmarried.

A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship or descent. Little doubt there was a progenitor who was first known as “Cam Beul”. Eventually one of the families associated with that name would become the Chiefs of the Clan. A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship or descent.
