General Notes:
"1606/7, 12th January: The Right Honorable John Campbell of Calder acknowledged himself debtor to his brother, Alexander, in 3000 marks in full of his rights, by the deceased John, his father, or the deceased Marie Keith, his mother, for part of Clunes occupied by Thomas Calder. Deed witnessed by William Campbell, brother to John Campbell of Calder, Mr. Donald Campbell of Barbrek, Hew Campbell in Balnagown, and Duncan Campbell, brother to the Laird. (Marie Keith was daughter of the Earl Marischal (Marshall) of Scotland.)
1607, 18th September: Alexander Campbell, brother of John Campbell of Calder, renounced the lands of Clunes in favor of his brother, Colin, henceforth styled "of Clunes."
"1622: Sir John's brother, Colin Campbell of Clunes was nearly burned alive by robbers - Calders, sons of Thomas Calder. A few years earlier, Colin had been living peacefully at Clunes and refused a trip to Edinburgh that year to help select curators for John's sons etc. (He told his brother that rather than curators, they needed someone to teach them to live within the means of a diminished estate and that he was finally enjoying peace and did not wish it disturbed by the effort of being the one to have to teach sons with high expectations and the lifestyle they were enjoying under their father to live differently.)"
1632: The Thane and his heir were both still alive and signed a contract with Douglas of Sandiland, and with Colin Campbell of Clunes.
