Lairds of Glenlyon

304 THE LAIRDS OF GLENLYON.
took part in this riot were thoroughly ashamed of them-
selves, as soon as they understood that militia lists could
be made up without the parish registers.
Up to the end of 1800, the old Laird, thanks to his
vigorous constitution and healthy habits, wonderfully re-
sisted the ravages of time, and actively attended to his
public and private duties. The hard winter of 1804 told
upon him severely. It killed his sister, Miss Kitty, Miss
Mary being dead long before. Miss Kitty, as long as she
lived, never allowed her brother to mope from want of
mental exercise and the use of his tongue. After her death
his life and house were not so cheerful as they used to be.
He gave up his active life by degrees^ feeling stiff and
weakened in body, but strong and clear in mind almost to
the last.
He died in 1806, at the advanced age of 85.
As the old Laird outlived his Balneaves nephews, who
left no legitimate issue, his grandnephew, Francis Garden,
son of Peter Garden of Delgaty — afterwards of Troup —
and of his niece, Catherine Balneaves, became his heir.
Francis Garden, who, on succeeding his granduncle, as-
sumed the additional surname and arms of Campbell, was
succeeded by his son Francis, who died in 1826. This
second Francis was succeeded by a son of the same name,
who died in 1848. He was succeeded by his only son the
fourth Francis Garden Campbell of Troup and Glenlyon,
who sold his Glenlyon property to Sir Donald Currie in
1885.
