Biography

James and Catherine were one of the families of the "Lady Cathcart Settlers", settling in the second round in 1884:

"James Campbell of Iochdar, South Uist, and his wife Catherine were 52 and 47 respectively (in 1884). They had four children, whose ages were from 17 to 10 and whose names were: Neil, Lizzie, Duncan and Roderick. James was a jolly, happy-go-lucky mortal, who was never over-concerned regarding an unjust distribution of the goods and chattels of this world. His wife died in the late eighties, the son Duncan some ten years ago, and old James himself at a great age in 1920. Lizzie married a native of Lewis, who had flocks and herds. Roderick saw service in the late war, and is at present in California, while Neil, who is married, appears to be still attached to the peaceful remnant of our heroic Army."
