  Mauchline Its History And Associations By H J Steven 1897 Retyped By Irene McKenzie 2003 (http://www.e-ayrshire.co.uk/local/sornweb/mauchline_its_history_and_associations.pdf) The most extraordinary stretching of the powers of the Church on record is in the case of a murder in the parish of Mauchline in the year 1642. Mungo Campbell of Netherplace was summoned to appear before the Presbytery of Ayr for the unnatural murder of his cousin, John Campbell of Mossgavil (Mossgiel?). Nearly a year elapsed before Mungo expressed his willingness to give satisfaction to the Presbytery, and even then only on the understanding that his life should not be endangered. It was not until three years afterwards that he received the sessional sentence, when "compeired Mungo Campbell of Netherplace in the habit of sack-cloth and in all humilitie confessed the unnatural murther and killing of John Campbell, his cousin-german." Mungo seems to have been a thorough reprobate, for he took the opportunity of confessing at the same time various other sins of which he was accused. For all his shortcomings he was commanded to "compeir in the habit of sack-cloth in the kirk of Mauchline in the place of public repentance two Lord's days." After giving such token of penitence he was further ordained by the Presbytery to give the same signs of repentance in the kirks of Ochiltree, Galston, and Tarbolton, and again to appear before the Presbytery in the like habit of sack-cloth. When Mungo had obeyed all these orders he once more presented himself before the minister and Kirk-session of Mauchline, and no further notice seems to have been taken of the matter. Notes taken from "History of the Counties of Ayr and Wigtown" by James Paterson, vol 1, Edinburgh: 1863 Mungo CAMPBELL of Netherplace. He is mentioned in a will in 1646. Ca 1650 he married Elizabeth DALRYMPLE, daughter of DALRYMPLE of Langlands. Children: Mungo, Elizabeth (who married William MURE of Bruntwood in 1681), and Margaret (who married William DUNCAN of Hillar).
