Mary Williams Cameron died 1911/wife of Henry Nelson Cameron
Mrs. Sarah (Cameron) Young Niles,Michigan Lebanon PA June 10 1913
My dear Cousin
It was a great pleasure to me several days ago to receive your welcome letter. The letter you refer to that I wrote to your father was not answered. Cousin Olivia kept me well informed at the time and I knew of the great loss you sustained by the death of your mother. And realizing the issues the had to be met during the accident, sickness and death of a beloved parent, and the new cares that had to be met of an aged father. You all had my sincere sympathy on account of my past experience. It was truly gratifying to me to read in your letter of the distribution your father made of his property and of the nice feeling pervading among the children.
Since March 11, I have Uncle Joseph McConnell at home. He was twelve weeks in the hospital. His first thought, when leaving the hospital, was to take rooms at the nearest hotel to the Homestead, but on inquiry, I found all the rooms taken and they could only take him as a border. That was not satisfactory. I secured a private boarding place across the street from the “Homestead,” and I suggested starting the fires and making the house comfortable, and to stay with Uncle at night as long as necessary. I have been doing this to the present and uncle is well cared for. He has a slight indisposition for a few days, but is doing nicely at present. His great trouble is weakness. We were fortunate in securing a good boarding place. Uncle enjoys his meals and rests well, sleeps well at night.
I am heartily glad you referred to the matter of genealogy to me, because there are not as many who are informed, besides while Uncle Joseph is still living, I can consult with him. I am sorry not to have something real nice for you daughter to help her being eligible to the societies referred to (DAR). Our ancestors were of the peaceful but nevertheless bestcitizens. Uncle Tommy Cameron was an honorably discharged soldier of the Civil War, and on special occasions wore badges and credentials enough for the whole “Friend-Schaft.”
I will now answer your Grandmother Cameron’s maiden name. Uncle Joseph Cameron’s wifes maiden name Bories/Burris?. Polly Bories(Burris?). Uncle Tommy Cameron spoke of a brother of your Grandmother, Joseph Bories(Burris?). My Grandmother McConnel’s father’s name was Lewis "Ludwig" Cameron. His wifes’ family name was Wolf. There are immediate relatives living at the Wolf homestead and own the place. I visit there. Grandmother McConnel, Polly May, the eldest, Catherine (Aunty Vogel) were the two daughters of the first marriage. John, the eldest son and Joseph, Your Grandfather were the children of the first marriage. Uncle John Cameron mentioned, may have drifted into the war of the Revolution. It was he of whom I wrote to your father that one day while your grandfather, Joseph Cameron, was out along the Juaniata he was addressed by a voice from the opposite of the river, and looking in the direction of the voice saw a man. Uncle Joseph !
Cameron was addressed “Brother Joe, is that you?” Answered “Yes is that you brother John?” Uncle Joseph Cameron hurriedly made his way to his boat, and crossed the river to meet his brother. And in his own language met on one. If the earth had opened and swallowed him, he would not more effectually been out of sight. You of course know when Uncle Joseph Cameron went west as a pioneer in his own equipment, all of the family but your father who had preceded the rest, were overtaken by sickness(Cholera) and had three funerals in five days. Uncle Joe’s wife, daughter Catherine (Mrs. Rush) and her husband. The latter, Cousin Mae Williams Grandparents. While my Grandparents were still living in the country, your Grandmother Cameron with your father, Cousin Henry Nelson Cameron, visited by grandparents at their home. My mother (86 years), your father, and Uncle Tommy Cameron were near the same age. Family name of the second wife Gossert, Au!
nt Betsy (who died with us) the eldest Sarah, married to a man named L
ong. Lydia married to Meffert. Third wife Maria Walter. Simon Cameron the eldest of this marriage. Noah, Louisa (married to Foesig), and Tommy Cameron. My birth date was Sept. 4, 1845. May following Great Grandfather Ludwig Cameron visited my Grandparents at Lebanon and I have the honor of being carried out of the house first time bare headed by him. Grandmother McConnel always spoke of your father by using his full name Henry Nelson Cameron. My Grandparents were in touch with Uncle Joseph Cameron (Your Grandfather) and were informed of their preparations to go west and received letters when they were overtaken by sickness and death. Before starting for the west, Great Grandfather Ludwig Cameron with his family and Uncle Joseph Cameron (your grandfather) lived near together, near East Salem. Uncle Noah Cameron was already married. So was Uncle Simon Cameron. Uncle Tommy Cameron was living home most of the time with his parents. Grandfather Ludwig Cameron was a shoemaker by!
trade and a useful man in the Community.He had given much attention to tree culture and raising fruit.Skilled in Grafting. when Uncle Adam McConnel and Uncle Joseph McConnel (brothers) were on a visit at Thompsontown, they were shown by Father Evans a worthy resident of Thompsontown, grafted in Mr. Evans orchard and posts and fencing set by Great Grandfather Ludwig Cameron. Mr. Evans spoke in highest praise of Great Grandfather Cameron as a friend and neighbor and a useful citizen. When Uncle Noah Cameron died, the two uncles (McConnel) were at the funeral. It was said of Uncle Noah Cameron that he was worth more in the community than some others that might be named by the dozen. All of Uncle Noah Cameron’s family are well to do, and are in possession of the homestead. Two of the sons within the last year have gone to Florida and bought land with the purpose of making their home there. One of Uncle Tommy Cameron’s daughters (Mrs. Sarah Walker) lives at P!
ost Falls, Idaho. They have a farm of 160 acres, and have set an orcha
rd of over 700 choice fruit trees. I had a letter from Cousin Sarah last fall stating they had 800 choice apples in boxes ready to be shipped. Cousin Emma Poffenbeger, a sister of Mrs. Walker and her husband are looking forward to making a trip to Post Falls,Idaho. And when they accomplish it, expect to stop at Niles, Mich. Great grandfather Cameron was a deeply religious man. The last time he visited Lebanon, when I was an infant, Uncle Joseph McConnel know of this visit, and when he left Lebanon, Uncle Jacob McConnel, Uncle Adam McConnel and Uncle Joe took G. Grandfather Cameron to Highspire with Grandfather McConnel’s horse and carriage to visit Uncle and Aunty Vogel.
When Great Grandfather Cameron visited Lebanon last time, Great Grandmother McConnel was still living. She was a very intelligent woman, and at that time considered an educated lady. It is said that she and father Cameron spent much time in social intercourse talking over the future and religious matters,, and their parting was never forgotten. My Grandmother McConnel persuaded her father while on this visit to attend catechetical lecture in our church, conducted by our Pastor, Rev. Henry Wagner, he was deeply impressed and remarked of Pastor Wagner when he came home “Er is ein guten Lehrer” I can not tell you what a comfort it is to me to receive your letter. Trusting it will be of help to you and your daughter, if there is anything I have not mentioned call my attention to it and any information I can give, you shall have cheerfully. My youngest daughter, Rhoda, is very much interested in knowing of the past and means to profit by it, while Uncle Joseph Mc!
Connel and I are still here to give her information. She is a teacher at Cornwall, and enjoying her vacation and a much needed rest. It would be a great comfort to me to have your daughter write to Rhoda with the hope that they will become correspondents.
Please remember us kindly to the relatives at Niles,MI and South Bend,IN. I expect to hear from some of you coming East this summer. Great Grandfather Cameron is buried at East Salem near where they lived before your Grandfather Joseph Cameron went west. His first wife is buried at Kimmerlings Church little more than three miles from Lebanon. Father Cameron’s parents came into the U.S. by way of Canada. In their travels, his mother carried him Indian fashion on her back. Later his father returned to Canada. The mother with her little boy drifted into Lancaster Co. Pa where they lived on a farm with a kind family, when the poor little boy, our Great Grandfather, was forsaken by his mother, who also returned to Canada. The family with whom they were living kept the little boy, and in time he made shi way into Lebanon Co. He learned the shoemaker trade at Stumpstown, now Fredericksburg, by Jacob Buchananyer. He prospered at his trade and married into a respected family !
near Kimmerlings Church by the name of Wolf. His first wife died when the children were young, so small that their father lifted them to...(need to find the last page of the story!).I think I corrected all the mistakes...

CAMERON, SIMON (1799-1889), American politician, was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, on the 8th of March 1799. Left an orphan at the age of nine, he early entered journalism, and, in banking and railway enterprises, accumulated a considerable fortune. He became influential in Pennsylvania politics, and in 1845-1849 served in the United States Senate, being elected by a combination of Democratic, Whig and American votes to succeed James Buchanan. In 1854, having failed to secure the nomination for senator from the Know-Nothing Party, which he had recently joined, he became a leader of the Peooles Party. as the Republican Party was at first called in Pennsylvania. In 1837 he was elected to the United States Senate as a Republican, despite a Democratic majority in the state legislature, a fact that gave rise to charges of bribery. His prominence as a candidate first for the presidential and then for the vice-presidential nomination in the Republican national convention!
of 1860 led to his being selected by President Lincoln as secretary of war. His administration of this office at a critical time was marked by his accustomed energy, but unfortunately also by partiality in. the letting of government contracts, which brought about his resignation. at Lincolns request in January 1862 and his subsequent censure by the House of Representatives. Lincoln sent him as minister to Russia, but he return.ed in. November 1862. He again served in the Senate (after 1872, being chairman of the committee on foreign relations) from 1867 until 1877, when he resigned to make room for his son, whose election he dictated. Cameron was one of the ablest political organizers the United States has ever known, and his long undisputed control of Pennsylvania politics was one of the most striking examples of boss rule in American history. The definition of an honest politician as one who when he is bought will stay bought has been attributed to him. He died on the 26!
th of June 1889.
His son JAMES DONALD CAMERON (1833 ) was born at Middletown, Pennsylvania, on. the I4th of May 1833, graduated at Princeton in. 1852, became actively interested in his fathers banking and railway enterprises, and from 1863 to 1874 was president of the Northern. Central railway. Trained in the political school of his father, he developed into an astute politician. From June 1876 to March 1877 he was secretary of war in President Grants cabinet. In the Republican national convention of 1876 be took an influential part in preventing the nomination of James G. Blame, and later was one of those who directed the policy of the Republicans in the struggle for the presidency between Tilden. and Hayes. From 1877 until 1897 he was a member of the United States Senate, having been elected originally to succeed his father, who resigned in order to create the vacancy. He was chairman of the Republican. national committee during the campaign of 1880.

CAMERON, RICHARD (1648 ?1680), founder of a Scottish religious sect of Cameronians, which formed the nucleus of the regiment of this name in the British army, was born at Falkland in the county of Fife. He was educated at the village school, and his success was so great that, while still a youth, he was appointed schoolmaster. In this situation he became acquainted with some of the more enthusiastic field-preachers. Persuaded by them he resigned his post and entered the family of Sir Walter Scott of Harden as chaplain and tutor. Refusing to acknowledge the Indulgence, he joined the ranks of the nonconforming ministers, and incited the inhabitants of the southern counties of Scotland to protest openly against the new edict. So formidable was the agitation that the government pronounced illegal all armed assemblages for religious purposes. Cameron took refuge in Holland, where he resided for some time; but in the autumn of 1679 (probably) he returned to Scotland, and once mo!
re made himself formidable to the government. Shortly after the defeat of the Covenanters at Bothwell Bridge in that year, Cameron was slain in a skirmish at the Airds, or Airs, Moss, fighting bravely at the head of the few troops which he had been able to collect. His prayer before going into battle became a tradition Lord spare the green and take the ripe. After the accession of William III. the survivors were amnestied, and the Cameronian regiment was formed from them.

Thank you for your efforts in transcribing and posting this will. It is very informative. Of course, it also raises a lot of questions for me.
Do you know if the Sarah Cameron listed is the same as the one who married Jesse P. Ayers about 1865? Also, do you know when Duncan Cameron died and where his will was probated?
I have been unable to locate him in the 1860 Census, so I assumed he had died before then. However, if he did, then he should have appeared on the Mortality Schedule for 1860, given his death would have ocurred within 12 months of the census date. But I haven't found it.
Finally, I have found a Nancy Cameron, age 74, born in NC, living in the household of Benjamin Cock in Terrell County, GA in 1860. Would she be Duncan's widow? If so, any idea why she would be there? Benjamin's wife's name is listed as Rebecca M. Cock. I don't know what if any relation Nancy would have been to either.

> PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD p.699-700 HENRY NELSON CAMERON, a
prosperous general farmer of Cass County, resides section 8, Howard
Township, and is well known and highly respected among the citizens of the
community. He is a native of Pennsylvania and was born in Juniata County, on
the 11th of October, 1824. His father, Joseph Cameron, was born in Lebanon
County, Pa., being the son of Lewis Cameron, a native of Scotland, who
emigrated to America when a mere boy. The mother of our subject was Mary,
the daughter of Peter Burris, both natives of the Keystone State, the mother
having been born in Juniata County. In Juniata County, Joseph Cameron and
Miss Mary Burris were united in marriage, and, locating there, they
commenced housekeeping on a modest scale. He was a carpenter and followed
that trade with considerable success. In 1854, accompanied by their
children, they started on the long journey to Illinois, expecting to locate
in that state permanently. On the day of thei!
> r arrival in Galena, the wife and mother died, also one of the children,
the victims of that dread disease, cholera. After this heavy bereavement the
father proceeded to Stephenson County, Ill., and in the fall of 1854 came to
Berrien County, this state. He died in Clay County, Ind., at the age of
sixty-five. In the parental family there were four children who grew to
mature years. They were: Henry N., of this sketch; Catherine, deceased; Mary
Ann, the wife of George Kiser, of Clay County, Ind.; and Susan, widow of Roy
Eastwood, of South Bend, Ind. Our subject, the eldest of the family, was
reared in Juniata County, where he attended the district schools, and worked
during the vacation seasons on the farm. In 1853 he came to Michigan, and,
locating in Berrien County, worked at the trade of carpenter during one
summer. Afterward he rented a farm belonging to David Rough and located in
Bertrand Township. For one year his sister was his housekeeper, but at the
expiration of th!
> at time he brought a wife to his cozy home. The lady who on the 11th o
> f April, 1854, became the wife of Mr. Cameron was formerly Miss Mary R.
Williams, and was born in Cass County, Mich., April 1, 1838. Her parents,
William H. and Ann (Pasmore) Williams, were natives of Delaware, and died at
the respective ages of eighty-one and seventy-nine. They had nine children,
all of whom married and reared families. After his marriage, our subject
rented a farm in Bertrand Township, remaining there for four years. When he
located on that place he was in debt to the amount of $80, but he prospered
to such an extent that at the expiration of four years he was the possessor
of $2,300 in cash, four head of good horses and nineteen head of cattle.
From Berrien County Mr. Cameron removed to Iowa, where he invested in lands
and remained for two years. Later he rented a farm consisting of one hundred
and sixty acres in Berrien County, residing there for four years. Next he
purchased a farm of one hundred and sixty acres on section 17, Howard
Township, Cass Coun!
> ty, and continued to cultivate this property for a period of fifteen
years, when he sold a portion of the estate and located at his present place
of residence. Here he owns three hundred and thirteen acres, all under
cultivation with the exception of fifty acres of timber-land. Mr. and Mrs.
Cameron have been the parents of fifteen children: William J., of Marcellus,
Mich.,; Sarah J., formerly a school teacher, now the wife of W.D. Young, of
Dakota; Mary A., the wife of Solomon Walker, a resident of Berrien County,
Mich.; Alice A., Mrs. Arthur Walter, of Washington; Edwin S., who formerly
followed the profession of a teacher and is now a prominent citizen of
Kettle Falls, Wash.; George B., who resides in Howard Township, Cass County;
Cora B. and Carrie M., who are successful teachers; Charles A. and Frank N.,
who reside with their parents; Maud E., wife of Lewis Moore; Henry W.,
Simon, Frank and Rosa Z., the four last-named being deceased. The surviving
children have receive!
> d the best educational advantages possible, and five of them have been

the Peace and Road Commissioner. In his religious convictions he is an
earnest Christian and a devote member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He
is a man who carries his religious belief into his practical everyday life,
proving by the uprightness and honor of his life the sincerity of his
belief. As a citizen, he is public-spirited and energetic, always favoring
the measures which in his judgment will benefit the community.

Hello, Lists. First, I know that some of you will receive this more than once, being on similar lists like I am, and I apologize. And I know it's not exactly strictly genealogy, but I thought I would go for it anyway. If it bothers anyone, I hereby apologize.
I thought I might get a good bunch of discussions going here - does anyone here believe that you can be drawn to ancestors through whatever, genes, maybe? Blood calling to blood? Or do you think this is just garbage and mystical twaddle?
I once was drawn to a name on the Scottish side of me (the name Jane Mennie) and was surprisingly overjoyed when I confirmed that she was my so many times great grandmother. I just so badly wanted her to be mine, for some reason. It could be, of course, that I just liked her name!!
