It never ceases to amaze me that so much misinformation is floating around out there on our family line.

There is some other false information that needs to be cleared up. Mary Campbell b. 1688 d. 1762 who married Michael Woods b. 1684 d. 1762 is not the daughter of Sir James Campbell of Auchinbreck by his second wife Susan Campbell. The Clan Campbell Society Genealogist has checked out this information for several the descendants who are members of the Society. Mary Campbell was born in 1688, Sir James Campbell od Auchinbreck was only 6 or 7 years of age at the time of her birth, he died 14 Oct 1756 at the age of 74, this would make the date of his birth as 1681 or 1682. Records indicate he was married to Lady Susan Campbell by 18 Dec 1717.

There are several other theories floating around there that have also been disproved. The CCSNA is very much interested in the mystery that surrounds our Mary, they are also very anxious to unravel the story of her parents and ancestors.

Someone has noted that her name may be Mary Catherine Campbell, does anyone have any records that would indicate this name is correct? I have also seen the name Margaret used.

I agree that we need to help stem the ongoing flow of misinformation that exists about this line.
