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.

“[Let] the Union of the States be cherished and perpetuated. Let the open enemy to it be regarded as a Pandora with her box opened; and the disguised one, as the Serpent creeping with his deadly wiles into paradise.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“We hope the day will soon come when every girl will be a member of a great Union of Unmarried Women, pledged to refuse an offer of marriage from any man who is not an advocate of their emancipation.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.”
—Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
