Robert Campbell of Scotland. This is the most remote ancestor of the Robert Campbell family of whom anything is known. Tradition says that he had his home in Scotland, but possessed a castle on the Isle of Man; was an uncompromising Protestant in the days of James II; on the accession of William, organized a company, became their Captain, and fought at the Battle of Boyne; received as a reward for his services confiscated lands in County Down, Ireland, but continued to live in Scotland. He married Ellen Douglas, renowned for her beauty and charming manners. Their first child they named Dugald, which was an old family name.
