Archibald married Margaret DOUGLAS, daughter of William DOUGLAS 7th Earl of Morton, Lord Aberdour, Treasurer of Scotland and Anne KEITH, about 7 August 1626.1 (Margaret DOUGLAS was born about 1607.)
Marriage Notes:
"The Marquess (Archibald Campbell) married, 6 or 7 August 1626, his cousin, Margaret Douglas, born 1610, second daughter of William, second Earl of Morton; she died 13 March 1678, leaving issue ..."
from Scots Peerage (vol 1)
Note:
Margaret Douglas was not the daughter of the second Earl of Morton but of the seventh. This is probably simply a typographical error. Archibald's mother was Margaret's great-aunt. 1
