Notes

Colin Campbell of Ardmaddie, to whom the fee of the lands and barony of Finlarig were assigned by his father and for which he had a Charter of Confirmation on 23 December, 1681, in which he is styled as the second son by a second marriage. He obtained the lands of Ardmaddie, d. unmarried at London on 31 March, 1708, aged 29 years

Also spelled Colin of Armaddy.

You may know that the succession is at stake again. One of the two contestants is collecting evidence in support for his claim. He is descending from the 1st Earl's third son Colin of Armaddy from his second marriage with Lady Mary Campbell of Argyll. According to all official records Colin died (unmarried and therefore) without legal issue. On the other hand, if you check the background of the prominent
banker First Cashier (same as a CEO today) John Campbell of the Bank (Royal Bank of Scotland that is) and he is without exeption recognized as the 1st Earl's grandson.

A second claiment from this lines claims descent from John of the Banks oldest son John.

A third claiming the title descends from John 1st earls eldest son Duncan, Lord Ormelie, who was passed over in the succession by the younger brother John, due to weak health (others say due to weak intellect).

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. 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. However, it should be clear from the beginning of our research that no one family has every made up a “clan”.
