• Notes

  The name of the property was changed to " Ashfield " about 1715, Duncan appearing as "of Ashfield" on the 27 April of that year. This tendency to anglicise Gaelic names is apparent all over Scotland about this time. Thus we get Auchindryan transformed into "Thorn-field"-a literal translation, which most of such changes emphatically were not. "Daniel " and " Peter " are other instances of this tendency, the idea being that they were the English forms of the far more picturesque "Donald" and "Patrick." On 12 January 1748 we have the registration of the Testament of the late Daniel Campbell of Ashfield, his eldest lawful son, John, having been decerned nearest of kin on 8 January ; and on 27 August 1770, John Campbell of Ashfield, writer in Greenock, eldest lawful son and heir of the late Donald alias Daniel Campbell of Ashfield, had sasine on a disposition and deed of alienation of the lands of Lergna-chunzeon, Quarachlessy, Drynich, Daltot, etc. [The Campbells of Duntroon by Herbert Campbell pub.1913]
