Lynden Harris emailed some very interesting information earlier this week regarding Duncan Cameron (Camron) and two unidentified George Campbells. I wanted to post this information, along with some additional things I’ve uncovered, so that other researchers may be able to possibly benefit. [Duncan Cameron was the name of Edward Campbell’s (son of George Campbell and husband of Frances Cameron) father-in-law.] For some brief Scottish history, between 1745 and 1746 there was a rebellion against the British Crown called the “Jacobite Rebellion.” Between 10,000 and 15,000 Scots, supported by French troops, unsuccessfully fought for “The Young Pretender,” Prince Charles Edward Stuart (“Bonnie Prince Charlie”). The rebellion was violently suppressed and thousands of Scots were captured during The Battle of Culloden in 1746. These prisoners were sent to London, placed on trial, and sent to the colonies. For a complete and extremely detailed account of the entire uprising from beginning until end, visit: www.electricscotland.com/history/charles/index.htm At one time there were no less than 385 Scots crowded into the Carlisle Jail in London. Of these, the rank and file were permitted to cast lots, one man out of every twenty to be tried and hanged, and the rest to be transported. The researcher who wrote one article on these events claimed that a list of names of some rebels shipped to the American colonies were available on a certified list among the records at Annapolis, MD. Scottish rebels who departed Liverpool and arrived in the colonies at Port North, Potomack, Maryland on August 5, 1747 aboard the ship “Gildart” (Captain Richard Holme) included a John Campbell. Other Scottish rebels were shipped to the colonies on the ship “Johnson”arrived on July 17, 1747 at Port Oxford, Maryland (Captain William Pemberton), included Alexander Campbell, Saunders Campbell, and Duncan Cameron. According to several sources, the British have well- maintained records that provide the names and other information about the Jacobite Scots who were on trial in London. I’m not certain how to obtain these records. This may or may not be Duncan Cameron, Edward Campbell’s father-in-law. The aforementioned detailed account of the Jacobite Rebellion reports that “Duncan Cameron” was “formerly a servant of old Lochiel at Boulogne, who was hired for the expedition, for the purpose, as he informs us, of descrying the Long Isle.” Many clans participated in the rebellion, including Clan Cameron. However, some chieftains who were trying to raise their clan for the Prince were stopped or imprisoned, notably Sir James Campbell of Auchnabreck, who was stopped from raising Clan Campbell of Auchnabreck by Campbell of Argyll.
