- "History of the County of Ayr" by James Paterson, vol 1 in is written:
Charles CAMPBELL of Skerrington. He is believed to have changed his designation to Horsecleuche, a property held by a distinct family, but possibly connected. In 1600 he is pursuing an Adam SCHAW of Glenmure for wounding him in the arm. In 1603 BOTH Charles of Skerrington and Charles of Horsecleluch sat on the assize in a trial of John JOHNSTON of Lochhouse. It is believed that shortly after this the two properties were merged. As in 1604 Charles Campbell of Horsecleuche and Hew Campbell his brother are mentioned in the will of George LOCKHART of Bar. In 1609 Charles Campbell of Horsecluech is one of the pursurers of Thomas JARDANE of Birnok for the slaughter of another Campbell. In Dec 1622 he gives his own testament in the Commissary book of Glasgow. Wherein he gives his spouse as Christiane CAMPBELL as executrix. He gives John CAMPBELL, son of Willliam CAMPBELL in Over Glasnock, the lairdship of Glenmur. Witnesses are Johne CAMPBELL of Schankistown, Charles CAMPBELL of Glasnock, Robert FARQR. of Gilmilnscroft. Hew CAMPBELL, brother to umquhile George (Charles) CAMPBELL of Horscleuch as cautioner. Christiane CAMPBELL is believed by Nisbet to be the daughter of Campbell of Shankston, but although probable, some doubt remains.
