Which wife? "The town is named after the wife of the founder, Frederick Campbell of Islay." The link leads to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Frederick_Campbell which includes:

Family

Lord Frederick was married, 28 March 1769, to Mary, youngest daughter of Mr. Amos Meredith of Henbury, Cheshire, ...

Legacy ... Port Charlotte, Islay is named after his wife.
