    3. Hi there...just looking to compare notes or get help or advice. I, like many others, having been tracing my family and thus far have traced back to the late 1700's in North Knapdale, Argyleshire, Scotland. More specifically, possibly Killsport or Castle Sween. The relations that I have so far confirmed go back to Archibald Campbell, b. 1786 in North Knapdale, first married Christine?? and had children Isabella b. 1815, Margaret b. 1816 and James. Archibalds brother is Malcolm Campbell b. 1786, married Mary Smith January 26, 1811, children Christian b. 1812, Donald b. 1814, baby boy b. 1816, Duncan B. 1825 (in Canada), Margaret Campbell b. 1828 who married John Tuckey, Joseph b. 1829 and Benjamin b. 1831. Archibald and Malcolm emigrated to Canada on the Hope or Harmony in 1819 and were the first to settle in the township of Caradoc, in Middlesex Ontario. >From what I have seen on a website call "knapdalepeople", the parents of Malcom and Archibald are Donald Campbell and Isabella McLellan. This has been confirmed through a book called "Some sketched of the early Highland pioneers of the county of Middlesex." I have no further info on Donald and Isabella and I am just wondering if anyone else may have come across them in their trees? Am also wondering if there is infact a large Duke of Argyll tree as my grandmother insists that our line goes back to a Duke of Argyll, one whom aparantly lost a ship??? I have much more information stemming down from Malcolm and Archibald, but am looking to go further back from Donald and Isabella. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!!!
