ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL OF KNOCKMELLIE

Genealogy

Stirnet: Campbell 11

Commentary

Archibald is the half-brother of the 3rd Baronet of Auchinbreck who died childless, so Archibald's son Duncan became the 4th Baronet of Auchinbreck.

There has been a lot of confusion regarding this particular line of descent from Rev. Dugald Campbell of Letterkenny, with ambiguous documents presented by a number of parties to support conflicting theories. While there are clear inaccuracies with all of them, I believe that research can ultimately reconcile them in a manner that is most consistent with the descent portrayed in the entry for the Auchinbreck baronets within the 1914 edition of Burke's Peerage.
