Early Wanganui, New Zealand settlers were Capt. Moses Campbell and his wife Jessie Cameron.
John Campbell (Barcaldine), of "Inverliver" (on the bank of Loch Awe in Argyleshire) married Susan (or Susanna) Cameron (Breadalbane) of Glenfalloch. Their son Moses was born in 1787 at Auch in Ayr.
Couple of problems I need a hand with;
a) No record of a John of Inverliver in Stirnet Campbell15 covering the family of Barcaldine - does anyone know where this John connects?
b) Susan Cameron of Breadalbane - can find no information on this family as Breadalbane was a Campbell holding for many centuries - any ideas which Cameron family this line may have come from?
-
Did you find the records you were looking for Clanman?
I was just looking at today's Campbell of Breadalbane post....which lead me to this much earlier post.
-
Sadly no information was forthcoming as a result of my Rootschat post and I am still trying to find which Campbell family my John & son Capt. Moses fit into.
A link to the Campbell of Barcaldine post you referred to would be helpful.
Regards
Clanman

Hi clanman, Moses Campbell was my ancestor and I have a family tree for John. I'm new to Rootschat so I'm unsure how to send you this info. Can we talk off line? I don't want to post my email address here

Hi Mat,
Great to hear from you. I would love to see the info you have. You can contact me direct at clanman57"at"gmail.com. Substitute @ for "at"

Hi Mat,
Tried to send you my e-mail address but deleted by Rootschat moderator, which shows how serious they are about protecting posters details.
The moderator says if you do two more posts we will be able to do private messaging in which we will be able to swap e-mail addresses.
Are you still in New Zealand? I live in Palmerston North. I run a Scottish clan genealogy website which is why the interest in where Moses fits into the Campbell line.

Thanks Rosinish, yes it is vital to protect people's privacy

And a second post, yes, I live in Auckland but Mum lives in Fielding and I hope to pop down to visit her in 2 or 3 weeks

Breadalbane was a Campbell earldom but not solely populated by Campbell's. There were MacMartin Cameron's in Rannoch at Cumuserracht. Some MacSorley Cameron's settled at Barcaldine in Queensland. A useful book on this stuff is "Bygone Lochaber" by Somerled Macmillan 1971.
