David Campbell 1807
Margrat Campbell 1808

Ann 1815
William 1818
ISABELL 1819

as you have flora campbell in cambelltown, have you searched death records because there are two main burial groundsin campbelltown,  and they also sufferd a typhoid outbreak, and then flora travelled to america on a relatives boat and only returned when the war of independance broke out over there. and it was no longer safe for scots people trying to settle over there to try farming, they were having their farms set alight and being shot at by both sides , so came home to scotland but the ship owner also brought back a load of coloured slaves to sell at the edinburgh markets to anyone interested which I understand took place outside the government buildings in edinburgh. can anyone verify this  with a year please. and who the captain of the ship was and the name of the ship if possible.also there is a link fo the burial grounds if anyone can find it that allows you to search all tthe gravestones to enable you to verify birth and deaths of those interned there. and ages.obviously.this may help you with lachland if you cant find him otherwise.
