- Mary Stuart King (MStuartKing@fsd1.org) believes that Mungo Campbell is a natural son of John. She writes:
I am a descendant of Mungo Campbell, natural son of John Campbell of Barcaldine, and nephew of Colin Roy Campbell, the "Red Fox," who was killed in the Appin Woods in 1752. Ann Campbell (above) was the daughter of Mungo Campbell, not John of Barcaldine. The reference for this is in two books by John G Gibson, Traditional Gaelic Bagpiping and Old and New World Bagpiping. You can find these books online at Googlebooks. The marriage took place about 1771, according to familysearch.org. John Campbell of Barcaldine was born in 1700. He did have a daughter, Ann, but this Ann would have to be his granddaughter, according to the dates.
I have been researching my ancestor, Mungo Campbell, for many years. He had at least two other children, a daughter, Margaret, and my ancestor, David. After The Appin Murder, Mungo took over as factor for the estates. He then joined the British Army and was posted to New York and fought in the French and Indian War at Ticonderoga, and was the commander of Fort Brewerton in New York State. He served in the Revolutionary War under General Sir Henry Clinton and was killed at the Battle of Fort Montgomery in upstate New York. (See George Washington papers and memoirs of Sir Henry Clinton) His son, David, was also a British soldier posted to Charleston, SC, during the Revolution, and married a girl there. She died, and he married her cousin, my great-great-great great grandmother. Unfortunately, there are very few of this line left with the name Campbell. Most of the descendants are from the female line. My maternal grandmother, Mary Stuart Gibbes Campbell Maurice, was the inspiration for this study. My father started the search, and upon his death, I have taken over.
By the way, David had two sons who lived to maturity, Isaac Motte Campbell, MD, and The Reverend David Irving Campbell (my ancestor). Both had children. I have not been able to find the descendants of Dr. Campbell, but I continue to try.
I am going to write the author of the above books to find out where he got his material. I think it is from Wolfe in Scotland by Findlay. I will search this book and let you know. There is much bogus genealogical material online, and I fear this is just a small representative sample. I have seen Ann reported as the wife of Trapaud and daughter of John of Barcaldine on other sites, as well.
PS Mungo does not show up on any family trees of the Barcaldines, however, I have John of Barcaldine's will, and he does show in that.
