Note: Donald Campbell, the youngest son of his father, took holy orders and was appointed Abbot of Cupar on Jun 18 1526 and as Abbot attended the Parliaments of 1532, 1535, 1540, and 1541. He was chosen a member of the Privy Council on Mar 15 1543 and on Aug. 14 1546 was chosen as one of the Lords of the Articles. He would hold both offices again in the 1550's and was Privy Seal under the Earl of Arran, regent for Mary Queen of Scots, a post he presumably held until his death.
In 1541 he was nominated by King James V as one of the senators of the College of Justice. In 1559 King James nominated him to be Bishop of Brechin, but the Pope, correctly doubting his faithfulness to Church doctrines, refused to confirm the appointment and he never assumed the title. A year later he was present at the convention of estates that terminated the Pope's authority in Scotland and forbade the saying of mass.
Although a monk, neither poverty not chastity, it seems, were part of his character. Indeed, he left five illegitimate sons, settling on each a considerable estate.

Note: Archibald Campbell, 2nd Earl of Argyll, was designated as Lord High Chancellor of Scotland on Jun 30 1494. That same year he also became master of the household.
In 1499 he was one of a group who were given a lease on the Lordship of the Isles and he was given a commssion of lieutenancy over the lordship and was appointed keeper of the Castle of Tarbert and baillie and governor of the King's lands in Knapdale. Together with the Earl of Huntly he supressed the rebellion of the islanders under Donald Dubh, and shared the lordship with Huntly for the rest of his life. The isles remained calm during his tenancy.
He fought at the Battle of Flodden on Sep 9 1513, in command of the right wing with the Earl of Lennox. It was the precipitous charge of the highlanders who made up Argyll's command, goaded by English taunts, that resulted in one of the greatest military disasters in Scottish history. The King, James IV, and thirteen Scottish earls lost their lives at Flodden, including Argyll.

Note: Thomas Sprigg arrived in Maryland about 1655, probably from Northamptonshire, England. On January 18, 1658 he received a patent on 600 acres, called Sprigley, in Chester River for transporting to Maryland himself, his wife, Catherine, and five other persons. He would also own three other estates in Prince George's and Calvert Counties, totalling more than 3600 acres.
He was commissioned High Sheriff of Calvert County on April 1st, 1664 and held the office for slightly over one year. He also served as a justice of the Orphan's Court. He was one of the first justices in Prince George's County in 1696.
A handsome portrait in full court dress that is still extant is traditionally supposed to be of him, but it might be of his son Thomas.
