James Campbell, Lieutenant R.N., eldest surviving son of his only brother, the Rev. Peter Campbell. Mr. Campbell served with credit in early life in various actions, under Lords Hotham, Hood, St. Vincent, Nelson, and Duncan. He was a junior officer of
the Dido, 28, at the time of her memorable action with and capture of the Minerve, 44, and at the battle of St. Vincent ; and soon after his appointment as Lieutenant happening, through the absence of his Captain, to be in command of the Victor, 18, at the landing in the Texel, he received great praise for the manner in which he had sustained and directed the fire of that ship in covering the debarkation of the troops. But, losing his health, he retired from active service, and died unmarried 18th Sept., 1818,
when the representation of the family devolved on his nephew, Peter-Colin, eldest son of his next and only married brother, the Rev. George Campbell.
