Note: There were two separate Cameron families in Moore, in 1790-
Tailor John, who lived either on Crain's Creek or Beaver Creek, and
Merchant John, who seems to have lived on the heads of Little Crain's
Creek, in the vicinity of White Hill and Ephesus Church. He operated
a store which is said to have stood immediately south of White Hill
Church. Tailor John is of the Beaver Creek clan. Merchant John was
the ancestor of the Governors Creek family. He was an ancestor of
Governor Cameron Morrison. The Demby family, which lived on the head
of Little Crain's Creek, intermarried with the family of Merchant
John. (Miscellaneous Ancient Records of Moore - Wicker)
