I apologize if I overstepped any bounds. In the past 15 years that I've been on these
lists, I've never seen it matter who called a roll call or when. Someone seemed to
call for a roll call in the subject line - but I found I was spending more time trying to
decipher the subject line, than I was bothering to read the body of the e-mail. Figured
it was easier to put it in plain English and call it a roll call! LOL
Have you tried researching the British Army records for Campbells? Not sure if that will
help. Ebay does have a LOT of Scottish Records on Cd's for sale. These CD's have
a lot of old books, records, miscellaneous blurbs and such from various sources. They can
have some wonderful info in them.
As I start going through all the CD's I've bought, I'll sure keep an eye out
for your Dugald and Annie Campbell... and the Island of Islay.
Have a blessed day!

Subject: Re: [Campbell] Roll Call
I thought only the List Master could call a Roll Call!!
My Dugald CAMPBELL was born circa 1805 on the island of Islay, Scotland.
It is said that his parents died when he was very young, and he and his
sister Annie were "raised by strangers".
Dugald and his wife Anne KEITH came first to Barrie, Ontario in 1832 where
he pled hi trade as a tailor. After 10 years they move to Duntroon,
Notawasaga Twp., Simcoe Co., Ontario., Canada. From there they claimed S.
1/2, Lot 19, Con. 2, Craigleith, Collingwood Twp., in Grey Co., Ontario,
Canada.
He died there 11 Jan 1889.
Is said that he was to inherit property from his 6 uncles who had served in
the British Army, but died before he could return to he old country and
claim it.
Dugald is my brick wall. As his parents died when he was young and there are
no parish record, I am stuck.
Malcolm CAMPBELL
