My brother came across a notebook filled with several pieces of information concerning Campbeltown leases (from the Duke of Argyll) and grave marker detail.
Can anyone identify any of the information here????? This is ALL NEW and I have no idea who half these people are!!!
Here is what I have on the leases which I believe are all Darlochan except the first one:
1770 Charles Stewart 19 year lease
1787 John Kelly Vol 1.65 Middle Darlochan 19 years.
1806 Kelly for 19 years
1825 Archibald Stewart Darlochan West Division latterly possessed by Dugald Stewart removed to Tonriach.
1825 Peter Kelly Middle Division (Peter Kelly[s father was John Kelly who died in 1817. John had 8 sons and 4 daughters.
1863 Alexander Stewart West and Middles Darlochan Vol 20/41
