• Notes

  http://www.ourwebsite.org/jane/shanktown.shtml He died on 3 April 1761; His brother's great grandson wrote a letter dated 16 Jan 1876 from Treesbank House, Kilmarnock. In it he gives an extract from brother James' pocketbook saying that it says "Revd Mr John Campbell Minr of Riccartown my Broyr Died very suddenly of a plethor upon yr morning early (as supposed being found dead in bed) of the third day of Aprile 1761 and buried upon the 6th yr after. Marked James Campbell" The great grandson (W.H. Campbell) goes on to say "It is a curious coincidence that he should have died the same year as your ancestor, but they could not possibly have been identical as the one never left the country and lies at Riccartown in the family vault."
