- From James Patterson's, History of the Counties of Ayr and Wigton, vol. 1 Kyle, 1863:
He was succeeded by Robert CAMPBELL of Kinzeancleuche who was a close friend of Knox and who was with Knox in his last illness. In other documents he appears: (1) on a list of absentees from the assize on the "Lairds of Lochnorris and Ekles (14 Nov 1544), (2) cautioner in 1559 for John WILLOK, who was denounced as a rebel for usurping the right of the church, (3) in 1566 (?) he was surety for William JOHNSTONE, bower, burgess of Edinburgh who was one of many suspicioned in the murder of David Riccio. Robert CAMPBELL's wife was Elizabeth CAMPBELL of Cesnock. Robert CAMPBELL died in 1574, leaving only a daughter.
Robert Campbell of Kinzeancleugh, was a zealous friend of John Knox and a devoted promoter of the Reformation
Robert Campbell of Kinzeancleuche, his cautioner, was at the same time fined. This was the second time Willock had ventured upon a preeching tour in Scotland, on both of which occasions he found a warm reception amongst the Reformers of Ayrshire, by the more poerful of whom the reforming preach were protected and supported. In 1556, Knox r preached in the houses of Bar, Kinzesncleuche, Camell [Cairnhill], Ochiltree, and Gadgirth, and in the town of Ayr." Campbell of Kinzeancleuche, if not possessed of equal means with such of the Protestant barons as the good Earl of Glencairn " could not be for zeal in the cause.
