May I ask
Does anyone know how the variation of Cammeron
came from originally?
I'm aware it was used primarily in the NY area in country.
But, I have found it in later census in other areas as well.
This I have accepted as simply interpretational variations.
I have also found in my line Cameron also spelt Camrion
Camrean and Camearn.
At one time I was led to believe Camron was a Irish variation.
This seemed to hold true especially with a line of Thomas Camron who
originated tin Georgia and migrated to Fulton Co IL they seem to have held
firmly to this spelling.
My line however is all over thje board as stated above.
I've even found a note on marriage lic that they were German???
Does this sound possible to anyone?
Thanks for any input

If you use
Ancestry.com, you can use a wild card and enter Cam*n and
it
will pick up all spelling variations within those peremiters.

Hi, C-Cuzzins! Just a short reminder to keep in mind...when looking for
CAMERONs,
also look for CAMRON. I believe this was the accepted spelling of the
surname
in the early days in the U.S. I don't know how this was changed, but
probably like
many other surnames - by the census taker (enumerator) or on some legal
document
that had to be written out by a court clerk, etal., until the common
folk began to get at
least a rudimentary education in the "3 R's".
