Captain James apparently didn't like the idea of living so close to the village so built Milburn house to live in. There are pictures of Dalserf house on the internet archives inside and out before it was demolished. His Daughter lived there and later his Grandsons Robert Campbell and James Campbell Hamilton.

Elizabeth is my 4th GGM she had 4 children with Col. Robert Cambell (Campbells of Glenfalloch)she died age 34. Robert the eldest died in 1855 but was not well enough to inherit. Jean and Kathrin twins born 1805 died In their late teens 1823/24. James the youngest 1807 married Mary Rorrison and had issue which carried the Campbell and Hamilton surname on by their eldest Daughter Mary who married Charles Henderson. Hence my user name CamHenHam as I am all three!

Elizabeth 1773 was one of 4 the others being Barbara 1771, James 1777 and Margaret 1779. Margaret I have as married to Col. Irving however it looks like he became a general from the parish survey of 1853. I have no record of children on any of these children other than Elizabeth hence I guess why her children inherited Dalserf and General Irving's  estate.
Back to Captain James Birnie who I have a picture of somewhere, I guess as a navy man with a young bride they decided to wait for children. Maybe he got bored of waiting and had an illegitimate child in 1760 hence Birnie Browne. Either way we know he prospered despite whatever family politics keeping them estranged.
Btw if anyone discovers more about the Gpeneral in Dalserf I would be interested.

Good to see you finally joined the dots. I didn't know about the Brownes until today. Found the connection in his Will. Seems he was a first possibly illegitimate Son. Birnie Browne was not in the Will but his son James was. I am a descendant on James Birnie Hamilton of Broomhill. Not sure what more information you wanted but it all relates to the lairds of Dalserf.

No one photo inparticular but all of those with reference to Campbell, Henderson, Hamilton, Harvie, Cadzow.
As a decendent of a family from this area I find this fascinating and great that you have gone to the trouble of recording each headstone and inscription. I will be in Dalserf next week so it will be nice to see any that stand out in person.

Many thanks
