Born 1721. Died 1793.) who Married Katherine Balneaves of Glenlyon, great granddaughter and heiress of Campbell of Glenlyon and assumed the additional surname and arms of Campbell.
Francis William Garden, 9th of Troup. Born 1840. Dsp 1895. He sold the Glenlyon (Perthshire) title to a Sir Donald Currie, presumably after erecting this memorial in 1878 as he is still using the Campbell name. Married 16 January 1863 Sara Cavenagh.
