I am posting your message to the List as it might help someone else.
My resources were from on-site research in Camerer Cemetery (tombstone
inscriptions) as well as Census and marriages in Edgar Co. As this is not
my direct line, I didn't pursue it any further. I think I have photo's of
the tombstones, too, but at the moment and probably for awhile, do not have
scanner that is working. When I get that problem solved, perhaps I can
share the tombstone photo's.
Instead of copying a descendant report from FTM, I copied the Genealogy
report, which shows more documentation. See below.
I do not have any further information, other than the ancestors of Daniel
Kemmerer/Camerer, which see below beside Daniel's name.

Mary Ann,
Thank you for taking the time to post your Edgar Co information
concerning the Camerers on the CAMERER List of RootsWeb.
Your information seems to be consistent with some of the public
records which I have found. For example at
http://searches1.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/il/edgar/land/land-c.txt
I found that Joseph, Simon, Lewis Camerer/Camerrer and Daniel Camerres
all bought land in the same TWP/RANGE in the 1830's.
Lewis is not among those you listed.
From a listing of a Camerer cemetery, I verified the dates and
burial location for most of those you say stayed in Edgar County,
but I didn't find Joseph and his wife Julia among them.
From a list of taxpayers in Edgar County I've learned that
D. M. Camerer was a medical doctor (MD). Your listing for him is
ambiguous, as he is listed as a son of Daniel and Catherine, but his
birthday year is almost twenty years later than the rest, and he
is also listed as being born in Clermont County Ohio.
2 [1] D. M. (Daniel?) CAMERER b: 10 July 1824 in
Clermont Co., OH d: 29 January 1916 in Edgar Co., IL
On the WorldConnect site at RootsWeb there is a listing of
Daniel and Catherine's children - but it only includes John, Simon
and Lydia. Their birth dates given there are the same as the ones
you supplied.
There are a lot of Camerers listed at WorldConnect from
Clermont. Do you happen to know if Daniel (not D. M.) was in that
area prior to going to Edgar County?
Do you know the source of your information on Daniel's family?
And do you know which of Daniel and Catherine's listed children did
not stay in Edgar County? If any moved on, do you know about when
they left the area? Answers to these questions may help me narrow
down the list of Barbara's possible father.
Unfortunately, I have not yet had the time to research in
Edgar County. We were in Vigo Co IN, which is right next door,
last fall, but ran out of time before we could get to Edgar. On
that trip I had just found the connection of my wife's McCleary
ancestor (Daniel) to Calvin McCleary. However, whoever filled out
the names of Daniel's parents on his death certificate, didn't know
the name of Daniel's mother, so I wouldn't have been looking for
the Camerers in Edgar County even if I had gone there.
Thanks again for your help.
Jay
