Hi I am looking for my Campbell ancestors in Argyll, in and around Glenorchy parish. So far I have been able to go as far back as Archibald CAMPBELL, who was born around 1774 in Ardchattan (or so he said in the 1851 census). He married a woman called 'Ann'. I do not know who she is, but Mormon records suggest she was Ann McNEIL. They had at least one child, John, in 1809. The family lived in Upper Kinchreckine (next to modern day Dalmally) in Glenorchy parish. They were croppers. I have not been able to go back any further on this line. One Mormon record suggests that Archibald's parents were John CAMPBELL and Catharine JACKSON. However, another record suggest his father was David CAMPBELL (son of Duncan of Duneaves CAMPBELL). Can anybody help? I have tried Ancestry.com., familysearch.org, scottishpeople.gov.uk, etc. Joel Fetter

Joel, you're sure looking for needles in haystacks when you're researching Campbells in that area. I know -- been there, done that! I have mine for certain back to Alexander Campbell who married Isabella Mackintosh in 1822 in Glenorchy. Among their children were Alexander, Mary, Cathrine, Duncan, John, Angus, John, Archibald. Most were baptised in Kilchrenan or Glenorchy, except for Archibald, in Kilmore/Kilbride. I think Alexander, sr, was born in 1796 to Alexander Campbell and Sarah Campbell in Muckairn. And going back further, I think this earlier Alexander was born to John Campbell and Mary McCorquodale in Kilmun. No definite proof, and I'm open to corrections on these. Perhaps some of these match some of yours? Good luck on your search! Sheila
