[edit]

This article and some related ones need cleaning up that I don't have time to do right now. Some areas that need attention begin with:

- This should be Robert Blair CAMPBELL at least according to the US Congress BioGuide

- His brother is John CAMPBELL - [Congress Bioguide] has no birth year or middle name or parent info. - A WIKI entry for this same John CAMPBELL shows him as born 1795 - but the links to his parents are broken or missing

- Add external references to the BioGuide - and then if someone has better info on this - maybe pass it along to the BioGuide folks and update this article as well.

- His family back in Scotland appears to tie back to these folks in Scotland: Sir James CAMPBELL (Provost of Glasgow) (it appears I'm going to have to start that article)

Sir James bought an estate called Stracathro on the East coast of Scotland - near Brechin in what was Forfarshire, now Angus, Scotland. He had at least 4 sons & 4 daughters - one John who went to America. A brother William who also moved to Glasgow. - son James who inherited his father's estate Stracathro - Henry Campbell-Bannerman who was Prime Minister - Sir James also had a brother, William. -

I hope someone will have time to tidy these up later - otherwise I'll try and get back to do it sometime as time permits. GregCampbellUSA (talk) 06:51, 16 March 2010 (UTC) Greg Campbell USA[reply]
