Both signed
Witnesses: Donald CAMPBELL, Sam'l HAWKINS, J. CAMPBELL
The record of the divorce is held in the Parliamentary Archives. Private Act 39 George III c.103. Ref: HL/PO/PB/1/1799/39G3n238
See Internet Archive for "Major HOOK's defence to the Action of Criminal Conversation brought against him by Capt. Chas. CAMPBELL and tried at Westminster 26th February 1793." Letters written by Charles CAMPBELL are printed in the appendix and give some insights into his family and the reasons for the divorce. Major HOOK was Harriet's uncle.
The two eldest sons, Charles and Henry would have been born before the divorce, but the baptism of Sophia states that she was the fourth child of Charles and Elizabeth, so presumably Charles and Henry were technically illegitimate.
