The estate of Vicars Hill, bequeathed to Dr. Taylor's father by Richard Luther, (who died there, having relinquished his estate of Myles to his son on his marriage, and lies interred under a handsome monument in the parish church of Boldre), was sold by him to Col.

Lineage.

"The Campbells of Auchmannoch," says Robertson, "have been respectable landholders, in the district of Kyle-Stewart, for several centuries. The lands of Auchmannoch, and others, formerly and still belonging to them, are situated in the lordship of Kylesmuir, and in the north part of the parish of Sorn, about from three to four miles north-eastward of the town of Mauchline, and about six miles south-eastward of the castle of Loudoun, from which family

they were originally derived. They are comprehended in that large tract of country, which, in the twelfth century, was granted by Alan, the high steward, to the Monks of Melross, as mentioned by Crawfurd, in his Hist. of Renf. edit. 1818, p. 138: "Per divisas suas, inter terram de Mauchlyn et terram Gilberti filii Richeri, cum tota pastura forestæ suæ usque ad divisas de Duneglass [Douglass?] et Lismahague, et de Glengavil;" which was ratified by King William. This grant appears to have extended to the marches of these lands mentioned, but not beyond them. The Glengiel, or Glengavil, is a muirland streamlet, rising among the hills, a mile or two north-west of the village of Muirkirk, and joins the Avon about three miles south-eastward of the town of Strathaven; so that this grant included that muirish part of Avondale to the westward of the water of Gavil, whilst the parishes of Mauchline, Sorn, and Muirkirk, were probably wholly included within it.

Out of this ample gift the Monks of Melrose endowed a religious house at Mauchline, with part of these lands, holding of

that abbey; and from time to time afterwards feued out the remainder to various proprietors. This religious establishment at Mauchline continued to flourish until the Reformation, when the lands belonging to it fell to the share of the family of Campbell of Loudoun, when Mauchline became one of their titles, which continues till the present day.

Early in the fifteenth century a family of Campbells possessed the lands of Auchmannoch, under a church-holding. That they were the ancestors of the present family has always been held as undoubted; but their early writs, till the year 1565, are now so much obliterated and illegible, as to afford | no particular information concerning them prior to that time. That they are also descended of the family of Loudoun has been a constant tradition, and which indeed carries every mark of probability with it. The first of them that appears in the remaining writs that are legible, is

ARTHUR CAMPBELL, of Auchmannoch, who has a renewed charter from the Commendator of Melrose, dated 8th August, 1565, "of the lands of Auchmannoch, to Arthur Campbell and Margaret Cunninghame, his spouse, in life-rent, and to their son, George Campbell, in fee." This Margaret Cunninghame should seem to have been of the family of Caprington, as in some writs about that time, partly legible, the laird of Caprington, appears to be a party.

GEORGE CAMPBELL, of Auchmannoch, succeeded his father in these lands, of which he has a charter from James VI. dated at Dalkeith, 20th September, 1590. He was succeeded by his son,

ARTHUR CAMPBELL, of Auchmannoch and Logan, who was served and returned heir to his father George, in these lands, on the 20th June, 1601, as appears from the retours lately published, in which they are designed the 31. 16s. 10d. lands, of old extent. He married 10th November, 1606, Janet Campbell, daughter of John Campbell, of Eschawburn, and was succeeded by his son,

GEORGE CAMPBELL, of Auchmannoch, who obtained a conveyance to these lands from his father, dated 12th December, 1637. This gentleman, an active supporter of the Presbyterian cause, became involved in the religious disputes and turmoils of the unhappy period in which he lived; and in his father's lifetime took the field, under General Leslie, in the commotions that ensued after the famed general assembly at Glasgow, in 1638, as appears by a will he made in 1639, wherein he appointed John Campbell of Killoch, Arthur Campbell, his father, and John Campbell of Eschawburn, to be his trustees during his absence. He m. in June, 1632, Jean, daughter of John Mure, esq. of Blacklaw, and granddaughter of Sir Wil

ARTHUR CAMPBELL, of Auchmannoch, who was returned heir to his father George, in 1668, also engaged in supporting the Presbyterian cause, and thereby incurred the resentment of the court, as exemplified in the measure resorted to in the reign of CHARLES II. soon after the Restoration, called Middleton's act, in 1662. Campbell, younger, of Auchmannoch, was fined in £600, without even a trial, or a single crime alleged particularly against him. He was some time afterwards seized, and carried prisoner to Strathaven,where he underwent a temporary imprisonment. At a contested election for Ayrshire in May 1700, to supply the seat vacant by the death of Sir William Mure, of Rowallan, his vote was set aside, but it was found good in the following session. On the 9th January, 1701, in an address from the shire of Ayr, respecting grievances, he appears among other Ayrshire gentlemen. These were: W. Fairlie, Bruntsfield; A. Brown, Knockmarloch; Arthur Campbell, Auchmannoch; Fullarton, of that Ilk; G. Logan, of that Ilk; Ralston, of that Ilk; Kersland; C. Barclay, of Busbie; J. Arnot, Lochrig; John Frezle, Haugincleugh; Patrick Hunter, of that Ilk; William Craufurd, Daleglis; R. Farquhar, Catrein; W. Mackerrel, Hillhouse; and John Peebles, Crawfield. He married 28th September, 1671, Margaret, second daughter of John Schaw, of Keirs, in Carrick, afterwards designed of Dalton, by whom he had three sons, JOHN. William, Alan,

} who died unmarried.

Elizabeth, who was married to John Mitchel of Hallglenmuir, and had issue.

JOHN CAMPBELL, of Auchmannoch, who m. Jean, eldest daughter of Hugh Mitchell, esq. of Dalgain, by his wife, Janet Campbell, only daughter of John Campbell, of Whitehaugh, by whom he had issue several children, who died young, and two sons to survive him, JOHN and ARTHUR. He died in 1740, and was s. by his eldest son,

JOHN CAMPBELL, of Auchmannoch, who resided many years in England, as a merchant at Bristol. He died unmarried in February 1795, and was succeeded by his only surviving brother,
