| Notes |
- From the MacFarlane web site:
1 -In 1671 a descendant of 'Johne of Oib', Niall Campbell., Provost of Inverary took possession of Duntroon as a debt from John Campbell., 12th laird., and left it in his will to the Oib branch. Notwithstanding this the Raschoille Campbells, descended from Alexander, a brother of John., continued to style themselves 'lairds of Duntroon'.
2 - It is more probable that John left no male issue, and so the headship of the family passed to the line of his next brother, Alexander Campbell of Raschoille.
[Campbells of Duntroon p21]
3 - John Campbell of Duntroon had succeeded his father by 11 December 1667 and we meet him again on 20 July 1670. But on 16 December 1671 we find corroborative evidence of his dispossession spoken of in the Lyon Office document, for on this date Niall Campbell, Provost of Inveraray, has letters of apprising against him, following on an Inquest held at the New Tolbooth in Edinburgh on 17 October of the same year. The Provost got possession of the estate immediately afterwards, but John appears once more, subsequently to this, as " of Duntroon," namely, on 29 June 1675.
His wife, Margaret of Inverlevir, was probably dead on 5 September 1674, since she does not appear in a document of that date, as might have been expected, had she been living. It has been suggested that-present heir male of that family might be found, as a descendant of John Campbell of Duntroon (dispossessed in 1671), in humble circumstances. It is more probable that John left no male issue, and so the headship of the family passed to the line of his next brother, Alexander Campbell of Raschoille.
