Just jumping right in here: My great aunt discovered the internet in her retirement, she's actually rather savvy now. Aunt Jeep managed to compile the family history. We're Rhea's now (I'm specifically a Poe), but she had identified the origins of that name as being the name taken by an escapee from the Isle of Mann. He was exiled there for Treason against the Crowne. (The story goes that) his name was Campbell, a Scot, and he was at that time the 13th Earl of Argyle, descendant of the first Campbell. Colin of the Black Clan, territorially located in the foothills of the Caledonian Highlands during the time of the initial Roman invasion, making them the first Highlanders' encountered by those dirty Romans ( I jest, I'm sure they were a clean people...) The story goes that Colin was given the Campbell as a "trophy" of sorts from a guerrilla raid upon a Roman battle camp; which he led, being the son of the battle chief. (apparently, these boys ROUTED the Romani, and forced a rethinking of Roman strategy in Caledonia.) [side note: Aunt Jeep's 'history' also states that the common trophies taken by the warriors of the Black Clan were EARS and SCALPS, which is one of the reasons for them being regarded as a very fierce "don't-jack-with'em" Clan.] I've read that Torquhil is the 13th AND 4th Earl of Argyle... the timing works out in such a way as to make me believe that it's possible for Torquhil's lineage to have "taken over" the Earldom after the exile of my ancestor (Rhea #1), his subsequent escape to the Isle of Erie and adoption of the name Rhea... Any thoughts? Any evidence to support or contradict this version of events? Aunt Jeep is not given to flights of fancy and has always (from what I've been given to understand) been an astute and dedicated student; I can't believe that she'd be that far wrong about something like this. When I was a boy, she had made every son of the generation (19 of us) a full kilt and regalia in the Clan Tartan (though I didn'a know that term waaaay back then)... It is almost identical to the currently accepted Campbell Tarten, with the exception of an extra blue line in the current Tartan. (ours' shows a double green bar, double blue bar, double green bar... it doesn't have the thin blue line in between the double blue bar...?!?!?...) Anywho, I do acknowledge Torquhil Ian Campbell as my Chief... but do I have the hereditary lines behind that? Or am I a different kind of Campbell altogether? ANY help will most appreciated! Thank You, Jason Rhea Poe
