Memorials of four old families

Auchinellan, must have resigned his lands about 1665, and that Inveraw
acquired them, and then granted a disposition of them to his brother,
Alexander, whom we find mentioned from 1678 in Acts of Parliament.
I am aware that it is held by some that the Inverawe family got a
grant of lands in Ardskeodnish in the 13th or 14th century, and held them
continuously until they were made over to a cadet, Campbell of Kilmartin-
in 1674: but I cannot reconcile this view with the extracts which are given
above from " Origines Parochiales." The conclusions I have arrived at
may, however, be erroneous.
It is clear from the Kirk Session records that an Alexander of Kil-
martin was an elder in the parish from 1691 to 1729, and that he had at
any rate two sons, Dugald, his successor, and Hugh of Barmaddy, who, on
their father's death, intimated a mortification of 1000 merks granted by him
to augment the salary of the schoolmaster.
I strongly suspect that between 1674 and 1729 there were two Alex-
anders of Kilmartin, father and son, and that the former was the son of
Dugald of Inverawe, and brother to Archibald of Inveraw, who died 1705
or 1706, and to the Duncan mentioned in the back bond of 1695, ar >d so
uncle of Archibald of Inverawe, and probably of Dugald of Shirvan, who
got the cups in 17 14: in this case another Alexander, second laird of Kil-
martin, must have been first cousin of a second Archibald of Inverawe and
of Dugald of Shirvan, all living in 1714, when the cup was given. — Sec
Pedigree.
Alexander of Kilmartin executed a disposition of his lands in favour
of his son, Dugald, 1st April, 17 12.
From and after 1678 the name of Alexander Campbell of Kilmartin
occurs occasionally in Acts of Parliament along with Archibald of Inver-
awe, as will be seen below.
The Act, Charles II., 1678, is an Act of the Convention of Estates for
a new and voluntary offer to His Majesty of 1,800,000 pounds Scots. Com-
missioners appointed for the shire of Argyle for raising said supply include
Alex. Campbell of Kilmartin and Archibald Campbell of Inveraw.
The Act, James VII., 1685, which is an Act of Supply, includes among
other Commissioners for Argyle, Archibald Campbell of Inveraw. This
was an Act for raising and granting to His Majesty yearly ,£216,000.
In an Act, James VII., 1689, for raising four months' supply, among
the Commissioners are Alexander Campbell of Kilmartin and Archibald of
Inveraw.
In same year, in a proclamation for calling out the Militia, dated 30th
March, we find Duncan Campbell, brother to M'Connachie, appointed one
el the Commissioners for orderinsr the Militia of Argyllshire, while Alex-
