Jason, I have a question on your post... do you know if this James, (in red)
was in Mercer Co, Kty as a young man, or possibly married a Elizabeth McCoy
in that same place 1794? Thanks.

Hello Patsy,
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply but my computer went down right
after I posted my Campbell message! In your note to me, you mention a
Laurence Campbell and also your ancestor Henry Campbell. I would be
interested in any further info you have on either man.
I am writing to the lady who supplied me with my Campbell info (snail
mail) and am hopeful she may be able to shed more light on this branch.
I will post any info I get back from her, as well as anything more I find
once I can get out to the library and document this stuff.
I also have a contact who may know more about George Campbell, so I will
also keep your name and let you know if I figure out any relationship
between the families.
Keep in touch and best of luck in your Campbell research. Stephanie
Hello Suzi,
My computer is back up and I wanted to drop you a line. Unfortunately
what I had posted last Friday is all I have on the Campbells, so I have
nothing further on George and Catherine's daughter Nancy. I will be
writing (snail mail) to the lady who gave me this info, probably this
weekend or early next week, to find out what documentation she has. If I
get anything further on Nancy or that family I will let you know.
Best of luck in your research. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Stephanie

Hi Pat,
Skipness & Sadell, Kilcalmonell parish is on the Mull of Kintyre in
Argyllshire county, Scotland. The whole peninsula is to the west of
Glasgow - Skipness is midway down the eastern coast.
My web site has other place names for villages in Kilcalmonell although
Sadell & Skipness has it's own parish now.
For pictures of Carradale and area, check Johnny MacKinnon's web site at
http://home.rednet.co.uk/homepages/jmack/jmack.html and also the Kintyre
Antiquarian's Magazine at http://members.aol.com/KintyreMag/index.html
Hope this helps,

Iain, sorry about spelling your name incorrectly.
Also what happened to that sasine when Matthew Campbell, engaged in the
Rebellion of 1685, and escaped to Ireland?
Pat
Ian,
Another short question? 1679 7/2 Archibald, Earl of Argyll, signed a sasine
in favor of Matthew Campbell and his father for a lifetime interest in the
lands of Orgaig in the Barony of Skipness, Parish of Kilcalmonell.
I know what it says, but where is it in Scotland? Orgaig

It would have been more helpful if I had explained in my earlier
message that Glen Orchy is close to the eastern part of Breadalbane,
although they are in different counties. In fact, I doubt if
Breadalbane has a clearly defined boundary.

I've never heard of Glenurchy. Perhaps it should be Glen Orchy, which
runs between Dalmally and Bridge of Orchy in the county of Argyll.
Breadalbane is in Perthshire.
Hope this helps.

Your poem is probably as close as your local library.
Find a book of Rabbie Burns, THE Scottish Bard.
(But for sake of sanity, look under Robert Burns).
You might have difficulty in pronouncing some of the words,
but practice a bit, and Dad will smile upon you.
Here's one that was published in the Scots Magazine (Jan 97)
by David J Henderson that touched me when I read it, tho it may not
quite be
right for you:
MONIAVE
Sae we'll gang nae mair the twae o us,
The wey we used tae dae.
Nae mair, up an ower Barndennoch
An back hame ower The Brae.
We walked it in the springtime,
When the path was bricht new green.
An the fields were white wi new-born lambs,
An the love licht in yer een
Wid shine an catch the same in mine
When we were seeventeen.
We walked it in the summer,
When the path was corn-strae gold.
An the fields were white wi daisies,
An yer airm roon me wid hold
Sae ticht as if we'd never pairt,
Nae thoct o growin old.
We walked it in the cool bach-en,
When the path was deid leaf red
An the fields were white wi thistle taps,
An ye'd lift yer bonny head
Tae mine an kiss a lover's kiss,
Tho youth had lang since fled.
Noo I walk it in the winter,
When the path is silv'ry frost.
An the fields are white wi wind-blawn snaw,
An the love that was is lost.
Nae mair tae walk this road wi me.
The lass I loved the most.
Sae we'll gang nae mair the twae o us,
The wey we used tae dae.
Nae mair, up an ower Barndennoch
An back hame ower The Brae.

Kinloch, It's also known as "Farewell To The Highlands".
One of the tunes that Burns didn't write in Auld Scots because it's about
the Highlands, and it would have been inappropriate to write about the
North in a Lowland language. For Alexandra, I've reproduced it below since
I know in her grief she won't want to take time to go look it up.
Tom Mungall, III
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the north,
The birthplace of Valor, the country of Worth;
Wherever I wander, whenever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
Chorus
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe,
My hearts in the Highlands whereever I go.
Farewell to the mountains, high-cover'd with snow,
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
Robert Burns
(1759-1796)

Alexandra, I can't think of a poem *more* scottish and that expresses the
feeling of an exiled Scot than the "Canadian Boat Song". It is a poem
written by an Scot who pines for his homeland. My favorite verse is the
second which, every time I read it, I get goosebumps and the hair stands
up on the back of my neck!
Tom Mungall, III
CANADIAN BOAT SONG
Listen to me, as when ye heard our father
Sing long ago the song of other shores -
Listen to me, and in chorus gather
All your deep voices as ye pull your oars:
Fair these broad meads - these hoary woods are grand,
But we are exiles from our fathers' land.
From the lone shieling of the misty island
Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas -
Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland,
And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.
We ne'er shall tread the fancy-haunted valley,
Where 'tween the dark hills creeps the small clear stream,
In arms around the patriarch banner rally,
Nor see the moon on royal tombstones gleam.
When the bold kindred, in the time long-vanished,
Conquer'd the soil and fortified the keep,
No seer foretold the children would be banish'd
That a degenerate lord might boast his sheep.
Come foreign rage - let Discord burst in slaughter!
O then for clansmen true, and stern claymore -
The hearts that would have given their blood like water
Beat heavily beyond the Atlantic roar.
Fair these broad meads - these hoary woods are grand;
But we are exiles from our fathers' land.
Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland,
And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.

I asked earlier if anyone knew where Glenurchy was.
In digging thru my papers I found something that I should
have remembered. My Campbell's are of the Breadalbane Campbell's
and not Argyll Campbell's. Does anyone know right off the top of their
head the county they are from?
I will lok myself but am wanting to host the county page for Scotland
on where they came from and am looking for a quick answer so I can contact
the Host for Scotland to let her know. Thank you,
Donna (still ignorant about her lineage :-)
Hello,
I was told by another Campbell that my Campbell's
came from Glenurchy, Scotland. I am looking at the
Clan Map of Scotland and I see Campbell's were from Perth
county. Does anyone know if Glenurchy is a town and if so
what county it is in? Thank you,
Donna
the url for the clan map is http://www.hebrides.com/radiance/clanmapf.htm
Hope I don't get strung up for this, but if someone can write for Scottish
names I ought to be able to slip this one in. I need (by Friday) a
wonderful, not too long poem (most likely) on Scotland, or the Highlands, or

special man who lived and breathed everything and anything Scottish. I've
been looking in books but haven't found yet quite what I'm looking for. Any
