Archibald Campbell

Removed from the 71st Regiment of Foot, Fraser's Highlanders article as trivia - if necessary, incorporate into this article:

He acquired lands of Inverneill and was made a member of Parliament in 1774. Named Commander of 2nd Battalion, 71st Regiment on 25 November 1775. Captured in Boston Harbour 16 June 1776.

Campbell was also at the Parker Tavern

There is proof at the Parker Tavern in Reading, Ma that Campbell was staying/ captured there after Boston and before being transported to Concord. Might want to include that in the entry.
