Background
Archibald Campbell, 10th Earl of Argyll (born 25th July 1658).
The eldest son of Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll and Mary Stuart, daughter of James Stuart, 4th Earl of Moray, Campbell sought to recover his father's estates (by moving into King James VII's favour). However, after failing to do so, he supported William and Mary's quest for the throne.
On March 12, 1678, he married Elizabeth Tollemache (daughter of Lionel Tollemache, 3rd Baronet of Helmingham) at Edinburgh, Scotland. They have two children:
- John Campbell (b. 10 October 1680)
- Archibald Campbell (b. June 1682)
