Hi Christy, I have some information about a Cameron family that we have traced back to
Marion County South Carolina which is on the N.C./S.C. state line. This family emigrated
to Marion County Mississippi in/about 1820. Please email me at tnmedic1(a)yahoo.com if I
can provide you more information.
Thanks, Alana

Hello Christine:
I have seen your message. Have you looked at the Clan Cameron site and
seen the DNA pages? If not check
http.www.clan-cameron.org/dna/results.html participant # 36323. Perhaps
it is yours. Anyway it has the same
first matching gene line as mine which is #29230.
You really need dates to accompany your information. Try telephone 411 #s
in Carolina and see what you come up with. Very often people are there but
they are not looking for family on computer.Try to recall any info you have
heard and also names. Some may have gone there from Canada and migrated
elsewhere in the US. Lots of avenued to explore. Start with you and work
back to come up with a pattern, I wish you success.

Hello again Christy:
Perhaps you could find some sort of list or directory of the community (civil, church etc
where other (parent etc.) names might be given , Iships lists. He obviously had to get
there from elsewhere (probably Scotland). Do you know what he did for a living? What
religous denomination ? Look for baptism records, church lists. Where did he live and for
how long? Were any of them in the military?
Have you searched Family Search. Good idea sometimed to try one of the spouses names.
Often someonel else is searching from another point of view , but the infomation will just
be the opposite wayI have done that and it has been most helpful.
My problem is that most of my information on Camerons is very early and is involved with
military, like Louisbourg, Plains of Abraham and the American Revolution etc. My later
dates are from one person and his 10 offspring. I found a lot starting with the 1851
Census and before that a Directory of the Town of
York (now Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He had served after the revolution as a young Drummer
Boy, received a land grant at his age of majority and settled on an acreage which had to
be cleared etc. So the help I can give you is limited to putting myself in the same
position. Property information, sales, taxes etc. are all great places to seek. I have
plenty of this sort of looking and it does prove to be quite fruitful though there are
many times when one hits a wall. Don't give up, just find a loop hole and get going at
it. Good luck.

HI again:
Iwas just again looking at your list. If I were you I would zero in on 1851 Census for
North Carolina. There are wonderful volunteers who will help if you guve them the basis
info of name date, . I have used the US state helpers a few times to look up someone who
went to Louisiana, bt ended up in Mississippi, and ultimately the descendants were found
in Texas. All done for me . Try it.Among those who are found may be someone who knows
something you do not. never know?!

Hi, I am interested in comparing some information with you. Cameron is not
my line but my husbands and I am collecting information for the children.
They descend from one of the major Cameron lines in the area. I know there
are a million myth type stories similar to this but it was said that John
Merchant Cameron came to North America with his two brothers and that one went to
Canada and the other further south than North Carolina. They were said to be
Camerons from Lockhiel. I noticed in one of your previous emails that you
mentioned your Camerons from a different part of Scotland but that maybe they
originated in Lockeil. Do you know of a John Cameron that was born about
1745 in Scotland that came to the US? The reason our John Cameron is referred
to as John Merchant Cameron was that there were two John Camerons in the area
and their profession was put in as a middle name to distinguish between the
two. The other was called John Tailor Cameron.
Thank you for any information you might be able to share.
Marie
