Campbells and Beatons in Aberfoyle and Gartmore

[Thistle76]

Looking for anyone who knows any info on Campbells and related families who lived in and around Aberfoyle and Gartmore from c1825 to at least the early 1980s.

I am directly descended from Daniel Campbell, d Drumlane, Aberfoyle 12 Dec 1930.

Many of his children emigrated to Australia.
Of those who didn't -
Daughter Janet (Jinnet) married a William Beaton (bMull) and I'm sure many of their descendants may still live in the area. They were at Drumlane until 1965.
Another of his daughters, Elizabeth married a James Ferguson, they were at Duchray Cottage and Milton until the early 1980s.
Duncan Campbell drove the bus from Aberfoyle past Lochard and beyond in the 1950s.

In 1901 the Campbells and related families made up about half the population of Gartmore (McFarlanes, McLeods, McMillans).

Would be great to hear from anyone who has any info on the above, I have quite a lot but would love to know more.

I have tons of Campbells in Perth and keep discovering more of them in the maternal lines.  Unfortunately none of them are in Aberfoyle and Gartmoor.  Mine are in Killin, Kenmore, and Dull.  It's interesting that we find so many of a single surname in particular locations.  I know of one study (don't remember the author and title) that establishes that certain families are genetically predisposed to produce far more male children than the norm.  The study was not limited to Scotland but it included a chapter devoted to an analysis of the McDonalds.  It seems to me the Campbells would also qualify!

My family is from the Aberfoyle area starting with Hugh Campbell (b.1792) married to Margaret
McInnes (b.1790). They produced ten children, Margaret (b.1818), Andrew (b.1819), Agnes (b.1821),
Jane (b.1823), Christian (b.1825), Agnes (b.1825), Hugh (b.1827), Janet (b.1829), Alexander (b.1835) and Mary (b.1839).
I am interested in my 2nd great grandfather Andrew (b.1819) and in particular, his wife Catherine Macara (b.c1821).
