Very interessting remarks  above by Peter McGrogor and why he points to James Campbell and Margt. McIauglan as parents to James.

I always focused my research on Logierait and found John Campbell & Margret Irvine being a possibility.
See attached christening records of their children with James being 1st born male.
Actually it turned out that the baptism records show James and Jannet as twins.

To be honest, I might be wrong. Do you have more to add to the possibility of James Campbell and Margt. McIauglan?

As I mentioned I focused on Logierait and did travel to Logierait various times and searched Hilhead cemetery but without any success. I did come accross a list and map of burials. The original link disappeared but I found another one refering to the list:

As James being my 5th great grandpa and his brother John being your line we are 6th grade cousin. How exciting!
I am happy to share my tree up to James if you want to email me: marc.campbell@mac.com

Dear Moo,

I will split my answer to add the respective attachments.

Starting with James Campbell and Elsphet McGrigor I found christening records which confirm their children as mentioned above by you and added by Peter McGrogor if you allow fort he mother forename to vary.
I have attached the baptism record of  James, their 1st born male and my line.

Hi Moo,

I can add a tree to James (born 28.8.1791 bpt. 9.9.1791 and died 21.1.1858 in Belem, Brazil) which is my line.

Furthermore James (born 31.1.1763 and married to Elspeth McGrigor on 4.6.1790) father was John Campbell married to Margret Irvine.
