• Notes

  About William Campbell William may have been the son of John Campbell and Margaret Sutherland. A descendent who contributed information to the Hillman Family site states he was born in Scotland to John Campbell and Margaret Sutherland. William lists in the census records that he was born in Ontario. On his death record, the informant (Dr. MacGregor of Caledonia), states that he was born in Dumfries, Canada. According to an excerpt from `Our Todays and Yesterdays` by Andrew W. Taylor, John `Duke` Campbell and Margaret Lockie also settled in the area in 1824, the family reported to be from Hawick, Roxburgh, Scotland. This information provided by a descendent of the family at the time the book was compiled (copyrighted 1970, an expanded verison of the 1952 `Our Yesterdays`). Either way, William states he was born abt. 1821, prior to either family settling in Canada. www.caldersofnairn.tribalpages.com 2011
