Research Notes

Jennet's maiden name is often given as "Robertson." The only evidence suggesting that was her name seems to be a marriage record of David Campbell to Janet Robertson on 12 Jun 1729 in Edinburgh, Scotland. However, these are not the same David and Jennet that settled in Blandford, Massachusetts by 1739.

The Edinburgh Old Parish Register (685¹) contains the record of David Campbell and Janet Robertson's marriage, as well as records of their children:

1. James (b. 17 Mar 1730; bp. 22 Mar 1730; d. 14 May 1732)

2. David (b. 9 Feb 1732; bp. 13 Feb 1732)

3. Daniell (b. 31 Aug 1734; d. 23 Sep 1734)

4. Daniell (b. 21 Jul 1735)

5. Alexander (b. 16 Mar 1737; bp. 20 Mar 1737)

6. Archbald (b. 15 Jul 1738; bp. 18 Jul 1738)

7. Peter (b. 8 Feb 1741)

8. Thomas William (b. 28 May 1743)

These records show that they were still living in Edinburgh several years after 1739.
