I haven't run across a Harrison. The first that I find Malcolm is in 1880 in Houghton County. I haven't located him in 1900, or since then. His son, William stayed in the area and married a woman named Frances.

Was there a brother named Harrison Albert Cameron born in Huntsville Ontario about 1860? Harrison moved into Michigan about the same time. I have very little information on him. Harrison was in Arenac County as of the 1900 census.

Hello List! Would anyone have any idea who M. D. Cameron, formerly of
Shuyler, NE and/or Omaha, NE was? He/she was an insurance agent and possibly
a realtor there about the first quarter of the 1900's. I have a short account
dictated/written by this person but he doesn't mention many names.
Thanks, Steve Rieke

Does anyone have info on Camerons of Ballymena about 1880. They had a hardware store i think in Ballymena Antrim.
Hi Eddie,
The George W. Cameron I have was b. 1824, possibly in White County, TN; m.
Elizabeth McGee June 26, 1856 in White County, TN by Rev. Jesse E. Hickman.
Elizabeth was b. 1837. That is all I have on them.
Several of us are trying to piece together this branch of the Cameron tree.
I would appreciate any info you have, as I find the more I know, the more I
can find.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Do you know anything about your George W. Cameron? I have a George W. Cameron from Tenn, cannot find his parents. I am guessing he was born about 1818 or thereabouts, from the census. He lists Tenn as his birth place, but the first record we have on him is in Ky, then he went to Ark and I lost him after the 1870 census.
Thanks
Eddie
Hi Mary,
I have a William Cameron b. bet. 1772-1780, possibly in North Carolina. He
moved to White County, Tennessee in the early 1800's and then to Lawrence
County, Alabama where he died in 1847. He reportedly had three wives:
(1) Elizabeth Nolen/Nolan/Nowland,
Children: John, Sarah, Elisha J, Elizabeth Ann, Blanchy & James C.
(2) Frances Nolan/Nolen/Nowland,
Children: William J, Amanda E, George W, Harriett M, Joseph N,
Andrew J, Mary C, Robert N.
(3) Lucy Bills:
Child: Martha Ann
I can't go back any farther on William Cameron nor can I document any it.
I'm happy to share if this fits with what you lost.

Many people have received copies of Professor James Hagy's thesis on the
early frontier settlement at Castle's Woods. It has been a very popular item
for those with Virginia ancestry. What makes the story fun for me is the
fact that I was able to locate the good professor thirty-seven years after he
wrote the thesis and discuss my 6-great grandfather's participation in it.
Samuel Cowan was killed and scalped by Indians returning to Houston's fort to
warn of an impending attack.
According to Hagy, "This thesis is a narrative account of the frontier
settlement of Castle's Woods. The community is an interesting case study of
the ideas of Frederick Jackson Turner regarding the frontier. Castle's Woods
in many ways fits the pattern of the typical frontier community. Apparently
first settled by a long hunter, Castle's Woods, like a magnet, drew westward
the classic frontier types, hunters, farmers, speculators, surveyors,
artisans, and preachers. Even some aristocrates settled there. The usual
frontier customs and activities were observed in the community. These
included a considerable amount of lawlessness. The greatest problem for the
settlers in Castle's Woods was the Indians who were a menace from the time of
the first settlement until nearly the end of the eighteenth century. After
the Indian problem had been eliminated, the frontier stage quickly passed
away...
A large amount of primary materials were used in this study. The most
important sources were county records, state archives, national archives, and
the Draper Manuscripts."
The importance of Castle's Woods is twofold. First, it had its day of
importance as a stepping stone to the West. Secondly, it is important as a
case study of the American frontier. It was the first permanent settlement
in Russell county, Virginia, founded in 1769 and located on the Clinch River.
What this thesis does not have is an INDEX. So I spent the better part of a
day extracting ALL the names in the thesis and made an index. It contains
about 175 names so I will not fill up your e-mail with a complete list but if
you want the index simply e-mail me and request it. It is yours for the
asking. If you don't have a copy of the thesis you should get one.
Regards,
Robert Cowan
