Richard,
There never was an Earl of Auchinbreck. You are thinking of Sir James
Campbell of Auchinbreck who was Jacobite - (as was often the case, not
because he was a Catholic but for political reasons).
I have no information on any of the main line of the family going to North
America. They are currently in New Zealand I understand. Their cadet
family (branch) of the Campbell-Ords of Kilmory have their representative
(head of the family) in Tennessee I understand, although when I wrote to him
some years ago he did not respond. The letter was not returned as wrong
address and I was then still living near Denver so it had a return address.
Presumably he is simply not interested in family or was going through a
period of stress. I think he is an art dealer or that may be his wife.
There is an Auchinbreck genealogy printed in Burke's Baronetage and Peerage
(an old edition) which, in error, gives a connection between Barbreck and an
American family but if you study the dates in N. Ireland (which they were in
for a generation or two) they do not work. It is a pleasant invention to
make someone happy early in the 20th C. or before I should guess.

Can you or anyone else out there please, send me information on what
happened to
the decendents of the house of Achinbreck when they came over to
America? Who were they and where did they migrate to. I know that the 8th
Earl I think it was turned Jackobite and was thrown into Dumbarton Castle by
Argyle. James was a prime mover in bringing Charles Edward Stewart to
Scotland. Who of this Clan fought at Cullodon, and what happened to them
afterward. Thank you so much for your time.
Richard
