- He died on 14 October 1756 at Lochgair, Argyllshire, Scotland. He held the office of Member of Parliament Scotland between 1702 and 1707. He held the office of Member of Parliament from 1707 to 1708. Thirty years later came the upheaval of the Forty Five Rebellion. Less wise than in 1715, the chief heritor of North Knapdale, Sir James Campbell of Auchinbreck had been "in correspondence with the Pretender, and in 1741 had been one of the "sept seigneurs ecossais" who signed the assurance to Cardinal Fleury that Scotland would rise in support of a Franco-Jacobite invasion. In conspiracy with Auchinbreck was Dugald MacTavish younger of Dunardry and treasonable correspondence existed between the two men. Hence the refernces to Sir James as "the Jacobite".

Celillia claims: "The will of James Campbell, 5th baronet has been found, and a summary of its essentials has been circulating on line. Frederick Naef sent me a copy of the essentials: James Campbell, 5th baronet named daughters: Elizabeth Woods, Mary Woods, and Anne Stuart in addition to son Gilbert Campbell, etc.." She goes on to state, "Gilbert and his sisters were definitely children of Sir James Campbell, 5th baronet of Auchinbreck from a number of records, including a lawsuit in London filed against him and his sisters, by a great-niece who had been born and raised in Spain and did not realize they were dead at the time of the suit and that they had had nothing to do with the managment of the inheritance mentioned in the suit since 1747, when Gilbert got rid of all the last mortgage etc. dealings with his distant cousin, John Campbell, Thane of Cawdor. It's a long story about that lawsuit and the financial affairs that entangled Cawdor and Auchinbreck."

Examination of the written will of Gilbert shows that Chalkley mis-transcribed the name of Gilbert Campbell's wife. It's Osman, which IS/WAS in Pennsylvania. The will of the 3rd Baron of Auchinbreck indicates two daughters married two Woods brothers
Samuel Woods and Elizabeth Campbell had a daughter Magdalena.
Michael Woods married Mary Campbell
a third sister married another person who lived in between the two Woods brothers, and at least three brothers of the girls also emigrated and lived in the same area
