Inquiries OF February 25th:
Il. NJ. calls for gcnealogy Of the
Campbell family, which descends from
the chiefs or the Clan Campbell. or
| course, It is not claimed that al the
members Of this clan arc related by blood
TO their chiefs. There have been emf
grants to different States bearing tho
| nainc of and belonging to the Clan Camp
| bell. I can find no authentic inforna-
| ton OF any who are descended from the
| founder Of this clan, except the dcsccn-
dants OF Duncan Campbell who inherited
| his name from tho Campbclls Of Brcadal-
banc, branch OF the House of Argyle.
/ There may be others, SO far as ! know.

| gini;L in 1850.
