Subject: [CAMERON] Samuel Cameron of Truro
Hello again, Hi to you too:
Perhaps you can help me with the geography, then, please. I have never
been to Nova Scotia and doubt I will make it there soon (I live in
Brazil.)
>>I live in Western Canada and am not really familiar with NS.
>>Find a map of Nova scotia (library?, if necessary). B4 you
will find
>>Truro. Pictou County is B5. Truro may be in Pictou County.
Did many people live in Pictou but go to Truro for some reason? One
of the
children of Samuel Cameron and Elizabeth Doyle was born in Truro; all the
others were born in Pictou. I know that Elizabeth Doyle was from Bedford,
but I do not know were Sam Cameron was from or who his parents were.
>> Bedford is just north of Halifax. He was probably a military settler.
>> What time span are you covering? This samuel may be a son of the one
>> of which I wrote. My association was oif another Donald in 1775 . He
>> had fought on the Plains of Abraham and was a military settler . After
>> the revolutionary war many settlers were from the 84th regiment. Look
>> up a Muster roll for his name.
I had interpreted the "of Truro" on his marriage
registration to mean his
family were there/he was born there/he was from there, etc.. Do I have
that wrong? On all later censuses, he says he was born on Nova Scotia, so
I should be able to find him there some day!
>> It seems to me he was the son of the one of whom I speak. The timing is
>> not yet right for going to Manitoba. Start with what you already know
>> and work back as far as you can. It might be difficult to find his
>> parentage. I am still looking for parentage of another person- not a
>> Donald.Sorry I cannot help you further. Good luck !Delphine
Thank you
Anna
