Elizabeth Somerville, the first wife of Archibald Campbell, Master of Campbell, and mother of Colin, 1st Earl of Argyll, is shown in many sources, including TCP (Argyll), as 2 generations later (the child of John Somerville and Helen Hepburn). Colin Campbell was a minor when his grandfather died in 1453, and he was created Earl in 1457, which would probably not have been done had he not reached the age of 21 by then, so his date of birth is probably in the period 1432-1436. Hence, Elizabeth must have been born by no later than, say, 1420. We share the view of those who believe that she must have been of this generation and was probably of this marriage.
