I am Seeking information on my gggg grandfather Alexander Cameron. he was married to
Catherine (no last name) he was born abt Dec 1828 possibly in Tennessee and died
(possibly) may 16 1879 in Cape Girardeau County Missouri.
If the information that I have is of the right Alexander he is buried in the Goshen
Cemetery near Oak Ridge. In Cape Girardeau county. His daughter (my ggg grandmother )
Julia A. Cameron married James Wooster Davenport (Devenport) and died in 1881 and is also
buried in the Goshen Cemetery.
I have found him in the 1870 Census of Cape Girardeau County along with his wife Catherine
age 38 and an Elizabeth Kelly age 63 and the following Cameron children:
Julia age 18 born in Tennessee
all of the other children listed were born in Missouri
James age 16
John age 14
Emma age 12
Emily age 12 (twins?)
Elizabeth age 8
Joseph age 3
Would love to know more about all of this family and how is Elizabeth Kelly connected?
In 1880 Julia is Married and living in Cape Girardeau County she died in 1881 and her
husband James married another Julia nee (Miinch) and moved to Bollinger County.
