Searching for information on the following Cameron Siblings:
Jesse bn. abt. 1800 in South Carolina d. abt 1866 in Mississippi.
Lecy/Lacy bn. btw. 1800-1810 in SC
Alexander bn. abt. 1810 in SC
Winny bn. abt. 1813 in SC
Elizabeth/Liza bn. abt 1819 in SC d. 1898 in Marion Co., Mississippi
Alfred/Alford bn. 1820 in SC
William bn. 1822 in SC d. 1891 in Forest Co., Mississippi
Mary Caroline bn. btw. 1820-1825 in Mississippi
All these siblings married in Mississippi.
I know that their mother's first name is Hester, but no maiden on her. I
highly suspect that the father is Lavender/Levander Cameron from Marion Co.,
SC. I have found a Lavender Cameron living in Marion Co., SC in 1799.
Lavender Cameron owned 850 acres on Downing Creek next to Stephan ford and in
1799 & 1803 he also witnessed 2 land sells for John Ford. In the 1799 land
sale, Levander was the probater. Apparently, there is a strong tie between
the two families.
I know that the Cameron family left South Carolina and moved the Marion Co.,
Mississippi. Family story has it that there were 3 brothers from SC that
left for Mississippi and 2 brothers stayed in central Mississippi and the
third, went to Marion Co.
There is apparently an older brother that I have no name on. In the Marion,
Co., Mississippi 1850 census, there is an Elizabeth Cameron age 40 born in
South Carolina, with 4 children, Alijah, Sarah, Erasmus, and Franklin (all
born is MS). This Elizabeth is living next door to one of the siblings,
William Cameron and his wife Jane. In the 1860 census, she list her age as
55. This puts her born between 1805 & 1810.
I have hit a big brick wall on this family, so any clues or help would
greatly be appreciated.
