  • Notes: 

  • There seems to be some disagreement whether or not John Campbell, son of John Campbell and Grace Hay, emigrated from Ireland to Pennsylvania. Some claim that he went to London with Lord Boyne and became a steward to Lady Buckingham. If true, then this John Campbell would not be the son of John Campbell and Grace Hay.
