Notes

Notes taken from "History of the County of Ayr" by James Paterson, vol 1

3rd Generation: Charles CAMPBELL of Glasnock succeeded in 1608. He appears to have married twice: (1) marriage contract 18 July 1615 to a daughter of Gilmilnscroft, and (2) to Helen LOCKHART (parentage unknown). She died 9 June 1626. Charles CAMPBELL died in August 1629 without a male heir. His will mentions the following people: Robert FARQUHAR of Gilmilscroft and William CAMPBELL of Underwelwod, executors; Johne, Lord LOWDOUNE , Sir Williame CUNYGHAME of Caprington, and James CUNYNGHAME, minister at Cumnock as overseers of everything.

Bequests to: Robert FARQUHAIR, younger of Gilmilscroft
Margaret CAMPBELL, my daughter

Sara CAMPBELL (sister of Williame CAMPBELL of Midlewelwod
Margaret CAMPBELL (mother of Sara CAMPBELL)
Jonet CAMPBELL, Margaret CAMPBELL, & Kathrein CAMPBELL (my sisters)

Hew FARQUHAIR (my sister's son)

Johnne FARQUHAIR, younger of Gilminscroft, cautioner

Paterson infers that Margaret CAMPBELL, Charles' daughter, was married to John BEG of Welltrees. Also that one of Charles' sisters married Mungo FARQUHAR of Ligtshaw and was the mother of Hew FARQUHAR mentioned above. This gave rise to a double connection between the Glasnock and Gilmilnscroft families which led to the litigation in the 5th generation.

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.
