George later became tenant of the farm of Garclaugh, farther up the valley on the Mansfield estate. George married Margaret Boyle and here some of the eldest of his family were born. He then moved to Corsoncan Farm back to Dumfries estate and here according to New Cumnock parish records WIlliam & Thomas were born. My grandfather Ivie Campbell was born at Garclaugh in 1754, his father removed to Corsoncon, Ratterty, to Manaight where he died.

James and Ellen had five known children – Margaret, Elspeth, Sarah, John and George. Ivie CAMPBELL (1833-1910) wrote, “George CAMPBELL’s family had a half brother, a son of their mother. His name was George McCARTNEY, who for many years had the farm of Largmore near Dalry in Galloway. He was always on very friendly terms with his half brothers and I have often heard my aunts speak of visiting Largmore. I remember James a son of George coming to Dalgig when a boy. On the 24th September 1866 I visited New Cumnock Church Yard with my friend and relation Mr David McCRAE, Guelph, Canada to see the grave of his grandfather, the late William CAMPBELL, Braehead, and at the CAMPBELL’s old burying place. We saw an old Headstone with the inscription “Here lies the corpse of James CAMPBELL, his wife Ellen STEWART, and their son John 1754”. This was our great- great grandfather.” George CAMPBELL left Merkland, and leased the farm of Garclough, where he married Margaret BOYLE. Here some of the eldest of their family was born. They then removed to Corsoncon and according to New Cumnock Old Parish Record, William and Thomas were born there. After some years George took the farm of Maneight and there he died some time before the end of the last century. (1700s).
