DescriptionJames Campbell's brother, Duncan Campbell, seems to have been the original purchaser of Queens Bay division (St Paul parish) Lots nos. 6-8 on March 19, 1767, which together with Lot 9 became the Argyle estate. By 1773 the owner of all 4 Lots was shown as James Campbell. Having been a member of the Grenada Council since 1775 and of the Tobago Assembly throughout the 1760s and the 1770s, James wielded considerable political influence. He held estates in Grenada, Tobago, Dominica, and St. Vincent, and served in the assemblies of Grenada and Tobago for much of the 1760s and 1770s, and later in the Councils of both colonies (Scots Magazine 59 (1797): 78.). He died at Argyle, Tobago in 1805 (SOURCE: University College London, Legacies of British Slave-ownership database, https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/person/view/2146632335, accessed 3/20/19).
