HI Folks,
I want to relay some info I've discovered over the years,
First, is a need for Church Records. I know we have researchers
in East TN, and one thing to note, that in Hawkins Co., TN,
We have Gov. Joseph McMinn, and Mayor Fred Rogers, in
Rogersville, TN, both Quaker. McMinn gave land to McMinn
Academy, a Quaker School, and might connect us to Cameron
families.
One note of interest, Quakers, when not enough to support
their own religion, would attend Presbyterian churches.
Church records are important, and valuable when found,
they can lead us to personal ancestors, lost in the research.
Trying to Help,
Jackie Mc
HI LL,
Susan was born in Marshall Co., AL, 1837,
no parents found, she was in Madison Co., AL,
in 1850, living with a neighbor, along with George
and John, assuming her brothers, or maybe uncles.
Susan is my Gr Grandmother.
Hope this Helps,
Jackie McMinn

born in

HI LL and Others,
The reason I refer to Separation instead of Divorce,
is that I had an Uncle Joseph McMinn, who was Governor
of TN 1815-1824, and he had to go before the Legislation
in 1824 to attempt a Divorce, the reason being there were
no Divorce Courts in TN or adjoining states in those times.
Hope this Helps,
Jackie McMinn
Hey LL,
I have a Susan Cameron, Born in AL in 1837,
married a Andrew McMinn in 1855, went to MO,
had two sons, separated and she came back to AL.
She had two brothers born in TN, William and George,
does this relate or be helpful?
Thanks,
Jackie McMinn

Thanks so much for the quick response from several of you concerning my
Cameron nephew's DNA. I am really eager to find connections to these elusive
Cameron ancestors.
The oldest I can get back to is a George Cameron who the census stated to be
born in
Tennessee about 1815-1817. Found next as a grown man in KY where he had
signed a
marriage bond to marry a Sarah Jones in June 7, 1839 at Smithland, Livingston
Co.,Kentucky. Found where they had a son, Eli, born in 1843 in Smithland,
Livingston Co.,Kentucky.
In the 1850 census we found George and son Eli in Northern Ark. but married
to a Susan Cameron who was also born in TN.
bye, LL
On the IAGenWeb Gravestone Photo Project Web

Thanks for the email Angus. Trusting all is well. I am sending this off to the "Clan". Right the review is...your CD, The Silent Ones, A Legacy of the Highland Clearances is excellent. I look forward to the to reading "1851 Exiles" - The Story of the Isle of Lewis Settlement in Huron Township, Bruce County.
Question? My dear sister Heather, a descendant of Isle of Tiree, now living in Huron County, just south of Bruce County, I wonder if she has ever experienced the life as "A Lewis housewife would do up her housework, collect her ashes, walk 8 or 10 miles to Kincardine, knitting her husband's or son's sock all the way to receive two cents (for ash). One of these she placed on the plate at church, fifty per cent of her cash. It was heroic." Aye, in Heather's case she probably would be out for a 21 km run to Goderich back. Some how I don't see Heather knitting her husband Mike's nor her sons Marshall or Ethan's socks. However, Heather is a dedicated Sunday school teacher at Auburn United Church. Makes you wonder how much time really have changed!

> "A Lewis housewife would do up her housework, collect her ashes, walk 8 or 10 miles to Kincardine, knitting her husband's or son's sock all the way to receive two cents (for ash). One of these she placed on the plate at church, fifty per cent of her cash. It was heroic."
>
> A quote used in "1851 Exiles" by Angus Macleod.
>
> When Angus Macleod, a musician and writer who lives on Kincardine's North Line, was growing up in the Ottawa Valley, his family would come to Kincardine to visit Grandpa Bill Macleod who lived on Hwy. 9.
>
> "My brother Al and I thought he was senile, that he had lost it," he said, smiling on this cold February morning at Books and Beans in Kincardine as he recalls how Grandpa Macleod was one of the few Lewis settlers around who could still speak Gaelic. "We though he was making it up."
>
> Nevertheless, the early trips to Huron Township instilled within Macleod a deep appreciation for his heritage as a descendant of the Lewis Settlers - 109 families who were evicted from their lands on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland in 1851 during the Highland Clearances. The families settled in Huron Township where they thrived, raised families, formed a community and made valuable contributions to the area.
>
> Macleod has already contributed to the preservation of that heritage through his talent as a singer/songwriter with The Silent Ones, a CD he felt compelled to write after a trip to his Hebridean home, Mid Borve, in 1996. However, he has recently published a book entitled 1851 Exiles, which also tells the story of the Lewis Settlers.
>
> "The CD dealt more with the eviction of the Lewis Settlers and the terrible injustice done to these people," he said of the CD, which has sold about 5,000 copies to date. "The book is more focused on the amazing things that they did, it emphasizes the positive."
>
> Stories survive generations
> And in compiling the research for his book, which Macleod describes as an account of "characters that he has tried to personalize," he spent hours listening to stories of family history from Lewis descendants in Huron Township which since restructuring five years ago, is now known as the Township of Huron - Kinloss.
>
> "I was surprised by how much knowledge people have of their past. Stories have lived within families since they left the Isle of Lewis," he said.
>
> Macleod notes the case of Peggy Chappell, a local historian who has carefully compiled articles, letters and pieces of history from the Lewis Settlers and who is also the great-granddaughter of Councillor Dan, one of Huron Township's more prominent, original Lewis Settlers.
>
> "Peggy tells a story about Councillor Dan MacDonald and his father discovering a deceased whale that was deposited onto the Lewis shoreline by the tide. Councillor Dan and his father cut a chunk of the blubber and ate it. They went back the next day to get more, but while Dan's father was cutting the whale, the tide carried him out to sea on top of the whale. Dan's father stuck his knife deeper into the whale and hung on until he was rescued," Macleod said.
>
> Although Peggy and her mother thought the story was made up, Macleod said so much reference has been made to the tale by so many that it's thought to be based in fact, though somewhat embellished as stories, orally told are apt to become.
>
> In trying to freeze forever in time the story of the Lewis Settlers, Macleod has captured the essence of what it was like to be a fisherman from a land by the sea where one's livelihood depended on fishing and gathering kelp (used in iodine) to suddenly find oneself in a foreign land of dense, dark forest.
>
> "They were dumped into 19th century Upper Canada where there was nothing but trees. They didn't know how to clear land or survive in the wilderness, but they did," he said.
>
> Connects with early settlers
> Macleod captures the daily lives of the settlers with amazing detail and empathy.
>
> He introduces his readers to young Lewis Settlers who would sing old Gaelic love songs, while tending to the tedious task of watching sugar kettles as the sap boiled down in the production of maple syrup.
>
> "Recognizing the song, young folk participating in the same wearisome chore at a neighbouring homestead would usually join in followed by group after group until the whole bush was filled with the magnificent sound of their voices in unison."
>
> He tells of the hardship of clearing land with only axe, hoe and manual labour.
>
> "It was arduous labour to say the least - no wonder Aeneas McCharles wrote that he and his brother 'nearly broke our backs and were physically used up before we came of age' in describing his early years in the bush."
>
> And he tells of a place where not one, but two churches rose up - the Huron Presbyterian Church and Knox Presbyterian Church - and to say there was some rivalry between the two would be an understatement. The practice of religion among the Lewis Settlers in the new world intrigues Macleod, and he tries to find a balance between the extremely devout people with moral values associated with Calvinism and people who obviously still held some stock in traditions steeped in paganism. These themes are explored in tales of the Lewis witch and fears of traveling on a road near what is now Amberley because of a suicide that occurred there with its ensuing implications of a restless spirit.
>
> Despite their hard lives, the Lewis Settlers had an indomitable spirit, which Macleod's book celebrates.
>
> "They were incredibly persistent and they survived," he said, noting it was quite common for men to walk to and from Goderich and Kincardine for supplies.
>
> Reference book
> In addition to creating an intimate picture of the settlers, Macleod has compiled a lot of useful information, which makes 1851 Exiles an excellent reference book on local history, especially for those interested in Genealogy.
>
> He lists the names of the Lewis Settlers, where they came from in Scotland and where they settled in Huron Township. In addition, he includes a list of those buried in the old Lewis Cemetery, albeit incomplete. Various photographs from Scotland and Huron Township - the cover depicts a picture of Councillor Dan MacDonald - concludes the book.
>
> Although he may have once thought his grandfather's Gaelic a little strange, Macleod has definitely come full circle with his appreciation for his unique heritage. That appreciation is shown in the wonderful dedication at the front of his book to his father.
>
> "Dedicated to the memory of my father, Glenn Allan MacLeod, whose wonderful stories planted the seeds for this book some forty years ago."

HI Ray,
/Thanks for that magnificent post, I'm looking into
East Tennessee Cameron's and McMinns.
I have a great grandfather who vanished in Middle
Tennessee, married to a Susan Cameron, around
1857, named Andrew.
I know the Harlan and McMinn connections in
East TN, but not the Cameron's.
If I can be of help, give me a whistle.

List any CAMERON on here that may have a MOORE & MAYES connection in
south west VA to NC to CLAIBORNE GRAINGER, HANCOCK, & KNOX Cos.TN? on to
ARK, TX, MO, OK.

there was a listing there tied to HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA. maybe a civil
war soldier in East TN?.
