• Notes

  Journal of The Clan Campbell, Vol. 28 No. 4, Autumn 2001. Silas McCaslin doucument. This has been deemed more reliable than Pilcher. Ruby (CCSNA) has the same seven children. = = = = = = = = = = = = = The Campbell-McCoy line has been fairly well researched but (speaking on behalf of Clan Campbell), as of today (July 2014) is reasonably dead end. Here's what I know. 1. Most people reference Pilcher's book on this line. But this book is wrong. The Clan Campbell Society of America does not acknowledge this as a reliable source. (Burkes peerage also constains an error about this line.) 2. The best online source that summarizes the known information is Phil Norfleets site (http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/n/o/r/Philip--Norfleet/BOOK-0001/0004-0001.html ) 3. The latest generally accepted line has John Campbell (husband of Mary McCoy) the son of John Campbell (husband of Grace/Grissell Hay) the son of Duncan Campbell (husband of Mary Ramsey). Nothing is confirmed on who the father of Duncan Campbell might be. 4. The latest thinking is summarized in several CCSNA articles from 2001. This thinking is based upon the mysterious Silas McCaslin document. See the links below. 5. The Campbell DNA Project has several Campbell-Hay participants but has, as of yet, been unable to provide any firm conclusions. Several things are obvious. First, this was a prolific line. There are a very large number of US descendants related to this line. Second, this line most certainly goes back deeply to Scotland and may be an offshoot of the chiefly line hundred of years ago. As you can see in the articles below, there is some speculation that this is related to the Auchinbreck cadet line. I believe that this summarizes the current state of affairs. It's a shame that with so many people descending from this line that more current research hasn't been done on it. I think that there is just a general feeling that researchers have exhausted all leads.
