Hi Carol Sir Walter Scott is supposed to have a Campbell ancestor and I have seen a Walter Scott married to a Mary Campbell on an IGI CD but no dates, and Walter not “Sir”. I don’t know if the following will be of any help as there is a Carsiag on the mainland of Argyll near Tayvallich. In the Clan Campbell Sherriff Court Books of Argyll, Vol 1 (Pub 1913): 1723, October 28th – Discharge by Ronald Campbell, merchant lately of Bardavaran, now in Barmore, in favour of Archibald Campbell of Carsaig, his father in law, for 1,000 merks, contained in the contract of Marriage between the said Ronald Campbell, and Mary Campbell, lawful daughter of the said Archibald, dated 13th and 27thApril 1715, being the tocher payable to him. The Discharge dated at Tarbet 10th February 1718. The first and only Campbell of Carsaig named in G Harvey Johnson's Heraldry of The Campbells (Pub 1921),is Daniel (son of Archibald Campbell of Strondour and Margaret McNeil of Creas, will recorded 4th June 1723) who married Janet daughter of Patrick Campbell of Kilduskland. There is no issue given for Daniel and Janet. Daniel had a younger brother Alexander but a note says he only had daughters, no names. This is erected over the remains of ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL OF STRONDOUR who died on Novr ye 13th 1719 in the 42nd year of his age, by the direction of DANIEL CAMPBELL OF CARSAIG and ALEXANDER CAMPBELL JUNR Mercht in Glasgow, his sons 1748.

She is buried in Ram's Horn Churchyard in Glasgow about 1820. He had two sisters Jessie and Elizabeth. Campbell and also had two children. 1. Mary Campbell who married her brother's tutor, Patrick McRuer of Doon. He was a student at University of Glasgow of which Campbell was president. ( I have checked with the University and they have no record of Campbell as president but have a Patricius McRuer as a student in 1778). Mary and Patrick (his name is also quoted as Peter M. McRuer) had 12 children. He was a minister at Jura and Colonsay. Afterwards moved to Greenock where they both died. He was buried there about 1787. She died and is buried in Carsaig, aged 40 years about 1785. 2. Daniel Campbell, only son of Campbell of Carsaig, was a very extravagant man and ran through the property, so Carsaig had to be sold. Daniel never married. The two sisters of Campbell had their share (of Carsaig) and lived on it. The aunts were buried at Ram's Horn Churchyard about 1868." Later these notes also state that Sir Walter Scott was a cousin of Mary Campbell. Any help or information would be appreciated so that I can prove or disprove these notes.
