- "History of the County of Ayr" by James Paterson, vol 1 in is written:
8th Generation: Charles CAMPBELL of Skerrington was concerned in 1550 in the breaking of Hamilton Castle in order to release the former cannon of Glenluce who had been charged with heresy. He also appears to have taken an active part in the Reformation. Paterson draws attention to errors in both Nisbet and Burke saying they are in error in reference to the Laird of Skerrington. Nisbet has him assume the designation of Horsecleuche and died about 1590 or 1600, while Burke conjectures that he died before 1630. I will quote Paterson here: "Now as we see that he succeeded before 1550, and as he was then at least twenty, though more likely of maturer age, his death in 1630 would carry him to an unusually advanced period of life. We know that there was a Charles CAMPBELL of Skerrington in 1603; so that he could not in 1600, as Nisbet states, have been succeeded by his son George. The probability is that it was not himself who succeeded, as Nisbet sasy, 'about the year 1560-1570,' but another."
