As the saying goes, I am "paying it forward". In a book entitled
"Scottish Emigrants to the USA", pages 48-51 list the following CAMERONS.
(NOTE: Stornaway/Stornoway, Greenock, and Liverpool are exiting ports.)
Additional facts obtained from "Emigrants from Scotland to America
1774-1775". You will notice that some of these landed in the USA and
then on to Canada.
