Hi Stacie:
I am fairly new to this site and to genealogy. I am trying to trace my
paternal ancestors. My father died when I was 4 and I know nothing of the
family. Unfortunately in checking I found that my father spent most of his
life in prison.
I did find that his mother was Margaret Elizabeth Cameron and her father was
David Cameron. I have a record of her death in Toronto, Canada March 17,
1911
born May 21, 1875
Also I have a marriage record which shows witnesses David Cameron father
a Charlotte Cameron and a Margaret Brown Cameron. The marriage took place in
Montreal. Canada. She married William Winfield
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated,
Margaret Malm

Judith:
I checked my copy of 1001 Name Index of The Descendants of John Cameron "The
Wise" by Alex W. Fraser, U.E.
Your Allan and Eliza Cameron were not in the book.
While it's off the shelf - does anyone else need a look up? I've been off the
net for a while and may have missed someone.
Stacie
My Camerons came over to C. in 1835 and by 1846 were in Hammond, NY. Have
you tried the local historian in your area? I called the Town Clerk in
Hermon, NY and found mine, who's been wonderful, that way. She's searched
Alien Books and Censuses no end. How did you find the marriage? I'm looking
for some marriages in the US for around 1855-1860 without any luck.
Yours Aye,
Marlene Cameron

Hello Margaret
You might want to check out this site.
http://members.tripod.com/~VictoriaCounty/index.html . I commissioned
research from the list owner Michael Stephenson, he was able to get me over
a major 8 year road block in the family research.
I was able to track down a cousin in Seattle who just sent me a ton of
information on my family and even pictures of my great-grandfather and
mother.
Hope this helps
My Cameron's are from my wife's side believe it or not

Hi all,
I do not have much to go on with this line. I can not find them in
the Census for 1851, 61, ect. for that area.
This is what I do have
Lettie (Surname unknown) was married to a Claude Cameron. They had a
least one child Charlotte Cameron. Charlotte in a newspaper article
stated her mother died after she was born. Charlotte was born in the
year 1900.
I have found in a collection at the Fredericton Library the Lettie and
Claude where buried at the Old Methodist Cemetery in Andover, Victoria
County, NB.
Lettie d. July 14, 1900 aged 21 yrs.; Husband Claude 1876 to 1956.
Their daughter Charlotte married Samuel Bishop from River de Chute,
Carleton County, NB, on Nov 9, 1916. Shorthly after they were married
Charlotte's father Claude came to River de chute and kidnapped her.
Taking her to Montreal and then to Toronto before she was returned to
her husband. Newpaper articles from the Carleton Sentinal confirmed
this.
My question is about Lettie and Claude does anyone have them people in
their line.
Thanks
Margaret Bishop
I have no information on this John Cameron. Sorry

Do you know anything about a Donald Cameron and his two son's John and Simon
(Simon is the Grandfather to the Simon Cameron of Linconin's Cabinet) the
came to the USA in 1775 on the Clementina and went to Philadelphia, PA. I am
having a hard time with this line. I am a Descended of John C. Cameron. It
is said that John and Simon grandfather was Rev. Richard Cameron who was the
prime mover in the formation of the "Solemn League and Covenant," of what
they called " God's true reformed Kirk of Scotland. Richard died in 1680.
Thanks for any help you maybe able to give.

Hey Folks,
It's that time of year, and all of us I'm sure is ready
for good weather, and making our schedules for the Spring,
and Summer months.
Family Reunions are something special, and now is
the time to plan ahead for them. Some of you might even
think of having your own, or if you know of any, please feel
free to post them.
Any information you have, please share it, for there
may be some who would like to attend. These are good events,
and a great way to meet and have fun, and also to learn more
of each other and their families.
Happy Days,
Jackie McMinn

You have another Cameron here in Tampa. Got anyone around from Upstate NY? Loking for
siblings of Hugh Cameron born 1835 enroute from Scotland to Nova Scotia. Lots of info on
Hugh's children but nothing on his mother, father, possible siblings or roots in Scotland.
Shirttail? Sounds like distant cousin to

Well a Big Hello to All Camerons,Kith & Kin,
I guess youv'e all recovered from my renderings of Feb 1/99.Now just to
update whats happening.
From infromation received over the www, I've since then managed to get
in touch with a Cameron branch, the Blakes of Minnesota, a retired Col.
Cameron in Calif, and thru a Cameron intermediary in New Zealand, contact
has been made"down under".
I have a list I'd Love to put on the Cameron-L but ..... this list takes
my line back to 400 AD !!! Can't take credit for all that tho',much of it
came from John Stewarts book and from other cross references I used or where
supplied by relatives.
For John of Clunes 1725-1824 we have info on his wifes parents and on
his father, Donald of Clunes ,who is said to have assisted in sheltering
Bonnie Prince Charlie after Culloden.
Johns in-laws where Alexander Cameron of Glen Nevis and Christy Menzies
of Rannoch.
I came across a term the other day I was unfamiliar with,"shirttail
relative". One of my seatmates at the LDS FHC said this was a second cousin
or beyond. Any other good explanations?

Hi Sarah,
My name is Marlene Cameron. I have been looking for my ggrandfather Hugh Cameron. He
claimed all his life that he was born on a ship on the way from Nova Scotia from Scotland
April 6, 1835. I have not been able to locate a ship's passenger list thay could identify
his parents.
I have a great deal of info on Hugh's descendents here in the Us. Hugh lived and died in
Upstate NY..Aug. 29, 1908. I have only a little about his wife, Martha b 1837, Canada. I
have the list of his children..12 of them. Unfortunately, I know nothing of Hugh's siblings
if any there were.
Would be interesting to link them up to your information somehow. Please keep me posted
about anything new at your end.
Sincerely,
Marlene Cameron
Tampa, Fl.
