Dear Alistair,
Thank you for your kindness in answering my plea. I have really had a hard
time with this family. I was lucky enough to find their grave stones in a
little cemetary in Ross twp. Butler Co. Ohio. Robert Cameron and his wife
Elizabeth Viller made the trip from Canada about 1812. They brought with
them their infant son Robert Adolphus. I have never been able to find a
marriage for them. They had other children in Ohio. I don't what religion
they were as they were sometimes Catholic and sometimes Methodist. Their
son Robert Adolphus was born 1811 according to his naturalization papers.
Robert A. had a sister born in Cincinatti, who married a James McGuire in
1835. He also had a brother Joseph, a sister Catherine and a brother
William al born in Clermont, Ohio.

As I do a wee bit of Canada work [in spite of my being a furriner!] I
advise that
long ago in 1802, there was no effective national Civil
registration of Vital events, the only records being those compiled in
Churches, for the sacraments of baptism, marriage
and burials.
So in Upper Canada your first goal needs to be, to focus on the particular
church
involved. Not an easy task as a rule. A town or village name might
be a good start
Another good chance, will be if you put on this LIST the names dates and
places of
those persons you are focussed on. Some of us will then tinker
with your data and find a "match".
Cheers.........
