When Hugh came of age in 1660 he was knighted and two years later he married Lady Henrietta Stewart, sister of the 3rd earl of Moray. Sir Hugh Campbell and his son Alexander were among the few 17th century landlords in the Western Isles who took a keen interest in the general improvement of their island properties. It was Sir Hugh Campbell who ordered the construction of Islay House around 1677 together with his successor Alexander Campbell. In 1689 Sir Alexander Campbell took over the estates and Sir Hugh died in 1716.[4]

Campbell-6396 and Campbell-38414 appear to represent the same person because: same death, same spouse, same children

Campbell-36161 and Campbell-6396 appear to represent the same person because: I removed the son Hugh (unsourced) and the son Archibald has been confirmed (from Heraldry of the Campbells Vol. I), so they should be ready to merge now.

And as noted before: Same name, parents, same wife, same death info, same castle; newer profile is unsourced and was created recently.

Campbell-36161 and Campbell-6396 are not ready to be merged because: Archibald and Hugh, son of Hugh, should be confirmed as children before the merge. The source only mentions 4 children, including alexander but not those two.
