I have an ancestor, Rev. Archibald Campbell, who came to Virginia with his brother, Alexander, around 1740. Archibald's parents were Archibald Campbell of Kirnan and Margaret Stewart of Ascog, Bute. Alexander Campbell went back to Scotland around the time of the Revolution and was the father of the poet, Thomas Campbell. Margaret Stewart of Ascog, had a second husband, John MacArthur, who took the name MacArthur Stewart. When Margaret and John died Frederick Stewart Campbell, the oldest male grandchild of Archibald Campbell, now of Virginia, went to Bute to claim the Stewart estate of Ascog. Frederick changed his name to Frederick Stewart Campbell Stewart and became a British citizen in order to inherit, but many court cases were involved because he wanted to sell the estate. The poet, Thomas Campbell was one of the many who felt that they had a rightful claim on the estate. Frederick died in France in 1827 without issue and his younger brother, Ferdinand Stewart Campbell St! ewart inherited the claim and was able to push it through. I believe that he was able to sell the estate. He died in Philadelphia in 1854. I have ordered copies of pertinent manuscripts from the University of Glasgow, but I could use some advice on what to do next. I don't know the physical location of this estate and who owns it now. I have not figured out the connection of Margaret Stewrt to THE Stewarts. Any help and/or advice would be appreciated.
