Notes

"History of the County of Ayr" by James Paterson, vol 1 in is written:

1st Generation: David CAMPBELL of Skerrington or Skellington, who in 1348 surrendered his lands for a new "infeftment".

General Information about the Campbells of Skerrington -- This family claims to be descended from the same group as the Campbells of Argyll and Loudoun. Sir Colin CAMPBELL of Lochow, grandfather of Sir Duncan, who married the heiress of Loudoun, possessed lands in Kyle considerably earlier than that event. This is evidenced by the charter of Newbattle, which states that "Sir Colin CAMPBELL, son of Gillespick CAMPBELL, made a donation of twenty merks out of his lands of Symonston, in Kyle, to the abbacy of Newbattle, in the year 1290." Paterson goes on to state that the early part of the genealogy of the family is somewhat obscure and the first that it can be ascertained is in the writs starting with David CAMPBELL, above.

If you have a DNA test and a family tree in the form of a GEDCOM please consider a submission to the Project so we can obtain the widest coverage possible for Campbell related lineages.

Also if you have time to volunteer, we are seeking people to help us verify and correct submissions, generally date formats, place name conventions, sources citations etc. The Project also needs help at Wikitree. If interested just use the contact form and let us know!

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.

However, it should be clear from the beginning of our research that no one family has every made up a “clan”.
