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

      12th Generation: John CAMPBELL (succeeded in 1705) of Horsecleuch [reason for change will be explained in the 9th generation] spent most of his life in the army. He married first Jean BOSWELL, eldest daughter of David BOSWELL of Auchinleck, and secondly to Abigail RANKIN, daughter and heiress of William RANKIN of Bankhead. All of his children were from his second wife. Burke listes John (above) and James. Parish records of Cumnock also list another son, William, baptized 2 Feb 1705, who apparently died in infancy.

What is a clan?

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.
