531. CAMPBELL OF ARDCHATTAN (vol. viii. p. 7). A correspondent
has pointed out that Isabella Welhvood, wife of Robert Clarke of Comrie,

sole child, and therefore sole lineal representative. By the terms of an
entail made by her grandfather, Robert Wellwood, the estate went, on her
father's death, to her uncle, Andrew Welhvood, and then to her cousin,
Robert Scott MoncriefT; after him they went (in 1854) to her cousin,
