INTRODUCTORY NOTICE.
XIX
By attending to dates, the impossibility of identifying this
individual with the Colonel James Campbell who died in Janu-
ary 1713, (leaving no sons of the name of James), is manifest.
The Colonel purchased Burnbank from a James Campbell, —
the conveyance is dated May 3, 1712, and is registered in the
Books of Session, January 2, 1747. Whether any relation-
ship existed between the seller and purchaser has not been
ascertained. But the former was served and retoured heir to
his father, Mungo Campbell of Burnbank, upon the 6th of March
1708. Mungo Campbell had acquired the lands from James
Earl of Perth, and James Lord Drummond, his son, by dis-
position dated November 3, 1694.
