Did you find anything about this Neil Cameron? I know that he had a daughter Nancy who
had a son, Alexander Hamilton, out of wedlock.
Neill was called 'Governor' possiblly because he lived on Governor's Creek.
He is listed in the 1860 census was Gov Neill Cameron with Mary, Hamilton and Margaret
Tyson. Margaret had married by that time as had Nancy. There were other children. These
stories were told to me even as a child and the headstones of many of these people are at
White Hill Presbyterian Church, near Sanford and Cameron North Carolina.
By 1870, he had left is land to his son William and Ham is living next door with his wife
Margaret (Cole) and the first of their children. His son James
was my great-grandfather.
Neill was also the father of John Worthy Cameron who graduated from Law school at the
University of North Carolina and is the forbearer of Cameron Morrison who became Governor
of North Carolina.
