Rhonda:
According to the Van Benschoten book one of their children lived in
Brooklyn. A cousin whose relative had a family Bible with Cameron entries
was in the Long Island area. My great grandmother was near Corning NY.
In an age when transportation was not as easy as it is today, I don't
know how our ancestors covered so much ground!!
Do you see any familiar names?
