Hew CAMPBELL of Netherplace--will recorded in 1640. Drawing from that it would appear that his first wife was Margaret PETHEINE, probably from the Auchinlongford family. His second wife is not named, and is believed to be deceased at that time as well. Children mentioned are: John, Margaret, and Mary (children of first marriage) and George and Marion (children from second marriage). However, he is succeeded by his eldest son (why he is not mentioned above I don't know).
