family. He is said to have, before his death, thrown
all his treasure into the sea, to prevent any contest for
it among his children. He died anno 1413; was mar-
ried to Margaret, daughter to Sir John Drummond of
Stobhouse, by whom he had three sons and a daughter.

heirs male, then in possession of the family of
Argyll, in value of a resignation of it, anno 1361, by

Craignish.'' ;:
3rd. Colin Campbell, called Callen Oig Gara Coal,
