He is Illegitimate in some but not all views. Item per David Arathoon on thepeerage.com. Per http by Chris Knight. Part of genealogy of D. R. Arathoon of Toronto, Canada. Beaton says Neil here became Moderator of the Church of Scotland in 1732 at age of 44. Beaton suspects Principal Neil is educated by Rev Patrick Campbell of Torblaren, Minister of Glenary from 1655 to 1700, who was married to Jean Campbell, who was a widow of a brother of Major John Campbell of Clonary. It is thought by Duncan Beaton that both Neil's father and uncle had died before February 1710. Husband of Henrietta Campbell mother of DC the hulks overseer. DR Arathoon is of opinion that he is son of brotherof Archibald Campbell of Clenary, his parents may have died young. Neil inherited his uncle's title of Clenary not his father, and as an orphan he was raised by Jean of Pennymore. Connection to Earl of Argyll probably as Jean was in service of wife of the earl.

Neil married Campbell Henrietta-44907 daughter of Of Kilduskland, Bracklie, Auchinbreck Campbell Patrick "Black Pat"-12 and Of Tarbet Macalester Janet or Isobel-2799 on 7 Jun 1705 in Scotland.
