- It is not exactly clear, but this individual may have led a shipload of Campbell emmigrants to North Carolina in 1739 (History of the Campbell's, vol 3, page 222)
http://www.kintyremag.co.uk/1998/15/page2.html states that Duncan was "direct descendant of Patrick Dow, grandson of the third laird of Auchinbreck". This would have been Duncan's great-grandfather Patrick.
Duncan Campbell of Kilduskland did not remain long in the Colonies. He returned to Scotland and in 1756 he sold his American Estates through his attorney, "Bluff" Hector McNeill.
He appeared before the Presbytery of Inveraray on 3rd November 1741 to appeal for the provision of a Gaelic speaking minister for the colony but was unsuccessful since this want was not met till the arrival of James Campbell in 1758.

As to Campbell involvement in colonisation, a researcher on Campbell genealogy, Rev. Richard Borthwick, suggests that Duncan Campbell's maternal uncle, Duncan Campbell of Kilduskland, was one of five leaders from the Campbells Argyll in the settlement of North Carolina in 1739. This has not been ascertained.
