| Commoners reports that George m1.Agnes Cunninghame m2. Anna Ker. However, Paterson reports that, whilst this was what had been reported in the earlier work by Robertson, "There is good reason to believe, however, that they were two different persons", not least the "the long interval between the succession and the death of the party". Provisionally, we follow Paterson in showing 2 generations at this point. HJHeraldry shows just one. | |||||||||||||||

| Paterson notes that "It is somewhat doubtful whether Captain Hugh was a son or grandson of Sir Hew. If a son, he must have been nearly 60 years of age when he married, in 1702." The following comes from BLG1862 ('Campbell of Barquharrie') which repeats the claim that Hugh was 3rd son of Sir Hugh by Elizabeth Campbell. That and the following is supported by HJHeraldry (Campbell, vol 2, 'Barquharrie and Mayfield', p59+). | |||||||||||||||

| Commoners (vol 2, 'Campbell of Fairfield', p362), supported by BLG1879 ('Campbell of Fairfield'), shows John as ancestor of the Campbells of Whitehaugh then Fairfield. Paterson shows John as 'of Whitehaugh' but adds a note that "This is questionable." We follow BLG1952 ('Campbell of Fairfield') in showing a different John Campbell as ancestor of that family. | |||||||||||||||
