The following comes from BLG1886 (Pemberton of Newton) & BLG1886 (Pemberton of Trumpington) which provide little information about the family's ancestry other than to confirm that they are descendants of Lord Chief Justice Sir Francis. Uncertain on number of intervening generations.

(1) The following has been pulled together from various web sites plus information kindly provided by a site visitor (DA, 03.07.08). Dan Byrne's site suggests that Principal Neil was a nephew of Colonel John Campbell of Black River, Jamaica. An article in 1998 on Major John Campbell (d 1685) in the Kintyre Mag by A.I.B. Stewart ("AIBS") reported (without particulary supporting) a theory that Principal Neil may have been son of Major John who may in turn have been a younger son of Campbell of Claonarigh (Clunaray or Clenary), a branch of the McIver Campbells. Alternatively, Principal Neil's father (possibly Major John) or grandfather may have been an illegitimate son of one of the Earls of Argyll.

AIBS reported that Major John is known to have had 3 daughters as follows.
John Campbell (d 1685, Major)
1.
Margaret Campbell
m. Lachlan McNeill of Auchensavit
2.
Barbara Campbell
m. Patrick Mcvicar of Campbeltown
3.
Jannet Campbell
m. (mcrt 25.02.1676) John McNeill (son of Malcolm of Carskey)
Noting that the web site interest in this family appears to be mainly in Sir Duncan Campbell (son of Principal Neil), only partly because of his connection with Bligh 'of the Bounty', we refrain from showing Principal Neil as a son of Major John Campbell but mention it here as a possibility.
?? Campbell

Neil Campbell (b c1678, d 22.06.1761, principal of Glasgow Univeristy)
m. (1748) William Richard Betham (customs controller in Douglas, Isle of Man)

2.
Dugald Campbell (d 1744) probably of this generation
John Evans of Bramford Speke, Devon (d by 1794, Commander, RN)
Commoners (vol III, Lewis of Greenmeadow) identifies John as 'of Branceford Peak, Devonshire' but BLG1952 (Disraelie of Hughenden) identifies him as shown here. TCP identifies him as "sometime of Exeter".
