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)
“The sacred obligation to the Union soldiers must not—will not be forgotten nor neglected.... But those who fought against the Nation cannot and do not look to it for relief.... Confederate soldiers and their descendants are to share with us and our descendants the destiny of America. Whatever, therefore, we their fellow citizens can do to remove burdens from their shoulders and to brighten their lives is surely in the pathway of humanity and patriotism.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“In families children tend to take on stock roles, as if there were hats hung up in some secret place, visible only to the children. Each succeeding child selects a hat and takes on that role: the good child, the black sheep, the clown, and so forth.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
