Hello Sheila:
It was a good barbecue. Thanks for waiting!
Now to answer. I have seen all of those names in Cameron files. My big
problem is that there is no mention of parentage or siblings. Charles was
born just after a very dicey time politically speaking in Scotland and that
family was the Clan Lochiel.
Much had happened and I believe they were 'low key'. Certainly Kilmallie and
Kilmonavaig were their places of abode. Tell me what you have for the
1700's and early 1800's.
I think 'my' Charles father was Donald b 1742 who was at the siege of
Louisbourg and also the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Do a Google on the
Fraser Highlanders 78th regiment. There is a letter there written by Donald
to brother Ewen telling him what had just happened at the battle. I traced
the family and it matches the story a cousin has told me about the Camerons
and Lochiel. This was 1759. I am at this time, after finishing the rest of
the history from 1783 to present looking for verification.
So--0 if you have any earlier dates I may be able to help. Do you know
about the DNA site at ?
http://www.clan-cameron.org/dna/results.html
I belong to the same family (not line though) as Participant # 29230. There
are about ten camerons with matching ist row of genes. If you recognize any
to which you belong let me know, please. I know there are Camerond in
Carolina etc. but not sure about Missouri. They did get around though!
Thanks for being in touch. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Delphine

Delphine:
I wish I knew if I had a Charles in my ancestry. If your Charles had any
descendants named Alexander, Mary or John (what unusual names!!!) in the
Kilmallie or Kilmonivaig areas, I'd be really pleased to compare notes.
In the late 1800s, we had Duncan, Mary, Angus, John, Alexander, George,
Alan, Malcolm, Isabella, Catherine, all in the same family.
Sincerely,
Sheila in Missouri
