Research Notes

• As her first marriage was before 8 May 1506,^[3] her birth must have been prior to 8 May 1492.

• The date of the marriage being before 8 May 1506 is derived from the document witnessed by Thomas Boswell where he is noted as being the son-in-law of Isobel Wallace.^[3] This information helps identify his wife Annabella as being the daughter of Hugh Campbell and Isobel Wallace rather than George Campbell and Marion Auchinleck. The latter claim is based on the thought that Annabella, wife of Thomas, acquired them through inheritance and her that inheritance^[8] would be possible if she were the daughter of George Campell and his second wife Marion rather than the daughter of Hugh Campell son of George Campbel and his first wife. The land acquisition was made from William Douglas and his wife Elizabeth Douglas as well as William Cunningham and his wife Marion Auchinleck. Thus the transfer of Auchinleck was during the lifetime of Marion rather than through inheritance after her decease.^[1] As a side note, the lands held by William Cunningham and Marion Aucinleck had been acquired in 14 Jun 1505 in a decreet of Recognition against William Douglas and his wife Elizabeth Auchinleck.^[4] Assignment to Thomas Boswell was made two days later and may well have been related to his being a servant of the King.^[4]

• The Peerage: Annabella Campbell]; not a reliable source and cites only Clan MacFarlane, also not a reliable sources; it does agree with Scot Peerage in identifying the parents as Hugh Campbell and Isobel Wallace.

• Clan MacFarlane: Annabella Campbell; claims that the parents are George Campbell and Marion Auchinleck; not a reliable source and only cites Stirnet, an index held by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS), and an email.
  • The Stirnet citation indicates that the parents are Hugh Campbell and Isobel Wallace - clearly in conflict with the stated parents on Clan MacFarlane
  • The LDS reference is to submission id 570414-093099155422 but a search at FamilySearch reveals that they have no such record.
  • The email does contain a primary source, Edinburgh Comm Court^[7], which is as also cited in Scots Peerage.^[2] Unfortunately, this does not relate to her birth and parentage.
