I'm hoping to find anyone related to or with knowledge of Alfred CAMERON (b. 3 Oct
1834, IL d. 1887 Eureka Springs, Carroll, AR). He and his wife, Nancy Ann (YOKAM) CAMERON
(b. 17 Aug 1836, IL d. 1905, TX?), were married 1 Feb 1856 in St. Louis, MO and are shown
living in Edwardsville, Madison, IL in the 1860 census. Nancy is also found in the 1850
Madison Co. census living with her parents, George & Mariah YOAKUM. I have been unable
to locate Alfred and Nancy in the 1870 census but have found them living in Lamar, Barton,
MO in the 1880. I believe that Alfred and his brother-in-law, James AJ YOAKUM, may have
served as privates together in the 117th Illinois Infantry during the Civil War.
Any info at all is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
