Hi clan,
Two of us have discovered a potential connection between
two Campbells of Balleyroney, Co Down, and we think they
may be somehow related to the lineage below. Does anyone
have any further information regarding any of these Campbells?
GENEALOGY OF THE CAMPBELLS OF KISHACOQUILLAS VALLEY.
ROBERT CAMPBELL-Scotland
Tradition says that he had his home in Scotland, but possessed a
castle
on the Isle of Man; was an uncompromising Protestant in the days of
Janes II; on the accession of William, organized a company, became
their
Captain, and fought at the Battle of the Boyne;received as a reward
for
his services confiscated lands in County Down, Ireland, but continued
to
live in Scotland. He married Ellen Douglas, renouned for her beauty
and
charming manners. Their first child named Dugald, which was an old
family name.
DUGALD CAMPBELL
Born in Scotland, and married there;settled in County Down, Ireland,
where his father sent him to occupy the confiscated lands. His
first
child was Robert.
ROBERT CAMPBELL
Born in County Down, Ireland, Oct. 1728;emigrated to America in 1746,
and settled in Chester Co., Pa. He married Jane Campbell (from
another
Campbell family in the area), moved in 1774 to the valley in what is
now
Mifflin Co., and died in 1822.
Cheers, and many thanks to all!
