At the time of the persecution, 1663-1688, they were in B urnton and Dalhanna, and were ardent supporters of the Covenent , and suffered much therefor. Campbell of Burnton, her ancestor, was often chased by the dragoons, and was wont to hide in th e brae above Dalhanna house, where he had prepared a secret hiding place never discovered. He was twice wounded, but escaped and survived. His son, James Campbell, married Helen Stuart, who while a very little girl, was sent with a meal to her father and two brothers in the moss-hags. Returning with the empty dishes, she was surrounded by a troop of dragoons, who demanded where she had been and what she had been doing. She refused to tell, and kept them long enough to let her friends escape. They got away safely and fled into the wild hills of the Kells in Galloway. (The soldiers seized her and were proceeding to torture her, when she told her story, and the soldiers at once galloped to the place to find the hiding place empty.)
