My gggrandfather was John Cameron who was born Sep 1819 in Ireland. He came
to America through NY in 1856 with his wife, Mary Ann Unknown and his
daughter, Mary, and son, Richard. They settled in Bridgeport, Montgomery
County, PA. and had three more children: William born about 1857, John born
about 1859, and Anne born in 1861.
Mary Ann died as a result of childbirth and John then married Jane Wallace.
They had four more children: Robert born 19 Nov 1863, Thomas born 1866,
Jane born 1868, and David. John, the father, worked at the quarries. My
ggrandfather was Robert.
Robert Cameron married Ellen "Nelle" Knox, granddaughter of Andrew Knox of
Rev. War fame. Robert was a large dairy farmer in Jeffersonville, PA, a
short distance from Norristown. Robert and Nelle had 3 children: Robert
Nelleson born May 1891, and married Elsie Unknown; John Bidwell born 15 Dec
1892 in Ambler Boro, Montgomery County, PA. He moved to St. Paul and
married Anne Irene Dunworth 27 Jul 1917. They were my maternal
grandparents. Robert, ggrandfather, committed suicide in 1911.
I'm looking for information on gggrandfather, John's other children besides
Robert.
Also for info on Robert's siblings, and even grandfather John's siblings.
