Surnames: Izard, Blake, Campbell
Sarah was the daughter of Ralph Izard and Rebecca Blake. Sarah married in 1763 Lord William Campbell (Royal Governor to SC during Am. Revolution) Sarah's sister, Rebecca married William's brother, Colin Campbell. I think Colin died in SC, but Rebecca returned to England during/after revolution. Lord Wm. and Sarah Campbell returned to England. I am searching for the names of any children born to Sarah and William...they would have been born in America, either in Charleston,SC or Nova Scotia, as William served in Nova Scotia prior to appointment in Charleston.

Hi! I just happened to run a search & came up with this 2005 posting. I do have the names of Sarah Izard and Lord William Campbell's children (at home). I am currently at work - I will bring these in & write you again. One of the children was named William. I am really wanting to find out, if & whom, were his issues (children). My father is named William Henry Campbell and we now we are direct descendants of the House of Argyll, Inveraray, Scotland. We have lived in Charleston, SC 20 years and JUST learned the Lord William Henry Campbell story of Nova Scotia and Charleston. I would be highly surprised if my Father was not his descendant & I want to connect the dots! Thanks, CK

There is an interesting possible connection between Lt. Dugald Campbell, promoted later to Captain, and a leader in New Brunswick. First he was appointed an officer in the prestigious Black Watch 42nd Regiment which meant he had to have some high connections. He was young at the time. There is no current record of his own parents, yet it was believed at the time that he was connected to the ruling clan head. He suffered a wound at the same battle in Charleston Harbor in which Lord William received his own ultimately fatal wounds. Lord Williams own children are not well documented anywhere even though he was the son of the 4th Duke of Argyll,a very unusual ommision. Lord William moved to New Brunswick at the same time Dugald's own unit went to New Brunswick. Lord William spent little time with his family in Canada, often leaving for long periods of time, even going to England without them. He saw duty before family. He did not seem to display much concern for them and his absences were not understood at that time. While this is purely speculative, it may have been the classic father and ignored son syndrome. Given the small population numbers and locations involved, the statical probabilities are high for a direct relationship. Dugald may well be a son. I'm still searching for other records in Scotland but the Canadian records seem to provide some connection.

Caroline Campbell was their daughter. She died in 1789.

Lady Ailesbury had helped raise the daughter of Mrs. Izard (Lady William Campbell), from South Carolina, who Walpole commemorated in Hieroglyphic Tales and who Anne Damer travelled with repeatedly. She died on January 12, 1789 at Conway’s town house of tuberculosis, eliciting the following poem from Damer’s father, entitled “Elegy on the Death of Miss Caroline Campbell”:
Since ‘tis the will of all-disposing heaven,
To seize the boon its kinder hand had given;
Whether on earth thy friendly spirit rove,
Midst the once happy partners of thy love;
(Scenes where virtues reign’d, thy talents shone,
And fond affection made each heart thy own;)
Or, bounding swift, has wing’d its airy flight
To the pure regions of eternal light.
