Margaret Campbell was married to Daniel Campell who had been in military service from around 1645. He served many potentiates including the Prince of Orange. Campbell became a captain of the marines on board the ship Christiana in the Danish-Norwegian navy. Eventually he was sent to Gyldenløve in Norway as an officer in the Norwegian army, serving out his time in the Gamle Trondheim regiment and in garrison duty in Fredrikstad until 1678. It is unknown when they got married, only that at one point she had cause to remind the king that, in Gluckstadt, had pardoned her husband for some offence or other and that she now needed his help as she was having to sell her clothes and furniture to survive. The nature of the crime, or the date of it remain unknown, but given the request it was probably after his deathO. Ovenstad, Militærbiografier: Den Norske Hærs Officerer (Oslo, 1948), p.202. Female.
