Happy New Year Cameronians!
I am looking for anyone knowing about or related through Simon Cameron or
his son James Donald Cameron(b. 1833 & d. 1918), both served as U.S. Sectry.
of War and other positions from PA and are buried at Harrisburg, PA. I would
like to know about Simon's ancestary, ie. his parents, grandparents, when they
immigrated, etc. I am descended through Simon's cousin, Samuel Cameron, if I
am deciphering correctly. I figure that there should be reams of information
about these Camerons and thus an avenue of finding out more about my lineage
of Camerons.
I am trying to straighten out some old family writings which are sketchy
and have some conflicting dates. I believe that Simon's grandfather was
Alexander Cameron and his father was John Cameron.
If anyone could help me with names and dates so that I can get things
straight in my head and on the computer, I would be greatly endebted.
I hope that I wrote this in a manner that is not too confusing.
Thanks,
Steve Rieke SRieke218(a)aol.com
