Union of The Two Families
This was the union of two land owning families, the Carters of the Castle Martin estate, County Kildare, Ireland and the Campbells of the Possil estate, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Colonel Thomas Tupper Carter (Lord Lieutenant and Justice of the Peace, Argyllshire and grandson of the Rt. Hon Thomas Carter Master of the Rolls and son of Admiral John Carter R.N.) married Miss Emily Georgina Campbell of Possil IV (granddaughter of Colonel Alexander Campbell of Possil) in 1864. Their matrimonal home was the Fascadale estate, Ardrishaig, Argyllshire. Miss Emily Georgina Campbell of Possil IV who owned the Possil estate also wished to retain her surname and Colonel Thomas Tupper Carter therefore added the name of Campbell to his surname in 1864.
