However, the Scottish naming patterns "might " point to his father's name being "David Campbell" or even "Noble Campbell" (The first son that I have record of was David Noble Campbell b.1833). Thanks for your prompt response !!! Dave. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
