This man has an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography under "Campbell, Lord Neil, of Ardmaddie (c.1630–1692), colonial speculator". His enty there contradicts the Wikipedia entry "On his brother's return from exile and rebellion against the Stuart monarchy in August 1685, Lord Neil was held under bond in Edinburgh, but was subsequently allowed to sail for East New Jersey. The following year he became the colony's third deputy governor. However, in 1687 he requested the council's permission to resign his position and return to Scotland, where he took up the post of governor of Dumbarton Castle, though he lived mainly at Nether Lorn, Argyll."
