Hello Malcolm
I am a descendant of John CAMERON & Helen FINDLAY & their son William
CAMERON b 1754; m1, 30 Aug 1778 East Kilbride, Janet PATERSON of Huntlerigg
(11 children); m2, 11 Jan 1802 Margaret PATERSON (1 child).
I have details of all the families of their descendants as per a book by
Cecily Cameron called 'Some Families of East Ayrshire; A genealogical study
of families of Loudoun & Galston parishes East Ayrshire, related to the
Cameron family of Loudounhill'.
Cecily's book is the result of 30 year of research and charts the Camerons
in this area back to the early 1620s. The book is 130 pages long and
includes charts of many of the families associated with the Camerons - Mair,
Morton, Donald, Paterson, Lindsay, Leiper, Dunlop, Smith, Young, Hamilton,
Findlay, Lamont, Strawhorn, Cochrane, Stewart, Bryson, Brown, Steel &
others. If you would like further details, please contact me off list.
