Jennapher, I was perusing the messages and found your message dated 7-22-03. You may have
already gotten your info but I did want to respond to your theory. I, too, am a Cameron
research nut. Most of my original family (mother's side) came from the Harnett,
Moore, Lee, and Cumberland County, N.C. area. I don't agree with your theory - If, in
1850, Neil (age 6) is your gggrandfather then he should be about 36 in 1880 (the census
shows 32 - still could be correct as I have found many errors of a few years). In 1880,
Neil shows a son, John T. (age 6) that you suspect is your ggrandfather. In 1920 he
should be about 46 but the census shows 40. I think I would do some more research on
these because you may find identical names, as you have indicated, in the same location.
Food for thought.
Good Hunting
