I am deep into the Campbells of the middle ages. I have Mary MacLeod
(McLea?) 1552-1602 married to Duncan Campbell 1511 and killed with his
father at the Battle of Glenlivet. Duncan was the Fifth Duke of Argyll. I
do see the possible name again...a John MacLean (McLea?) 1601 married to
Florence Campbell 1603, daughter of Dugald Campbell, Sixth Duke of Argyll
1576-1641. Again...Janet McLeod (McLea?) married to James Campbell, Fifth
Baronet of Auchinbreck 16-- - 1756 (dates for this latter a mess...have been
trying to find correct dates at this site without luck...no one seems to be
working on the Campbells this far back). Is this information any help?

Subject: [CAMPBELL] McLea of Linsaig?
Hello,
I am hoping a few old hands may be able to provide much needed
information.
The 7th Earl of Argyle, went to Spain and within his retinue were the
three son's of the McLea Baron of Linsaig, from Cowal. These son's took
refuge in Ulster, after their time of service and never returned to
Scotland. I believe that the 7th Earl, also never returned to Scotland,
ending his day's in London.
Is any further information known about the relationship the McLea family
of Linsaig had to both the 6th and 7th Earls ?
And if any further information is known about the three son's once in
Ireland?
All the best!
Grant South FSA Scot.
