Thanks for another great blog Murray! If anyone is interested, here's the goods with primary source citations attached. Thanks Wikitree!. ;) If primary sources are correct, born in Argyll to Patrick, factor.for the Campbells about 1754ish. Fought in our Revolution. On his return from the colonies, he lived in Carolinbraive. Got married at Ormindale House. He was Barracks Master at Stirling Castle ~1799. Military service records/correspondence in the list if you want to see what battles he was in, but they are in archive at Kew.

Thank you Murray. Happy to donate. Something you may not know about the old town cemetery is that it is the dead centre of Stirling!

Sorry.
