John Campbell, of Auch

By the time John took the tack of Auch it would seem that his situation was no longer economically viable. His solution was to become a freeholder in his own right and buy Inverliver in 1804. While he referred to himself as John Campbell of Auch and Inverliver, it doesn’t appear that he lived there as letters as late as 1827 are addressed to him at Auch. However, whether through bad management or bad luck, this solution never quite worked and John seems to have gotten deeper and deeper in debt. John and Susan are reputed to have had 21 children, but not all of them survived infancy. The family legend is that Moses owes his name to that high infant mortality rate.
