      James Mitchell and Margaret Glasfoord baptized six children between 1679 and 1693. In 1679 he was listed as a weaver.

      On 18 October 1709, James Mitchell, maltman in Campbeltown, along with Jean Moor, relict of Thomas Maxwell of Milnhouse, received a tack to Kildavie, Christloch, and Kerranbeg.

      James Mitchell's TD was registered on 15 February 1725. [CC2/5/3]
