Perthshire / Re: CAMPBELLS IN KILLIN PARISH?

If the letter you referred to was a petition from your Duncan's father Peter (in which case Duncan's son will also have been called Peter if he was the eldest son as per the Scottish naming pattern) then the closest family to Killin would be Patrick and Elizabeth Campbell who had their son Duncan baptised in Comrie on 4 Feb 1769. The younger brother of Duncan was John. However there is another candidate baptised the same year at Comrie to parents John and Catherine!
