I can trace your Camerons back to a James Cameron and Marion Weir
according to records held in Scotland. Their son William was born in
1844 in Monklands, Lanark, Scotland and died before 1920 in
McAlester, OK. His first wife was Margaret Borland. She was born in
1845 and died on 1 Sep 1871 at Poltenhall, Cockpen, Edinburgh,
Scotland. They were married on 31 Dec 1864 in Hurlford, Riccarton,
Ayrshire, Scotland. Three children were born to them; Archibald
Borland, James, and William. After Margaret's death William, Sr.
married Agnes Sanderson Simpson on 4 AUg 1874 in Cockpen. They had
three children in Scotland; John Simpson, Robert, and Alexander
Lockhart. In the 1880's they emigrated from Scotland to the States
and Indian Territory where Mabel and Campbell were born. William
became a mine superintendent for the Osage Coal and Mining Company.
My wife's family is from the Simpson family in Cockpen, Scotland.
