Notes |
- 'the furtrader'
"The Cameron families (two of them) at Camerontown west of Finch Villagewere 'connected' to Roderick Cameron's family of Williamstown (Glengarry)who were originally 'McSorlie' Camerons of Glennevis who had latersettled in Glenmorriston. Some in this family of Camerons stated theywere 'connected' to the Camerons of Cameron School (my family) but it wasa distant connection through, I think, marriage into theInveruiskavouline family a branch of which had settled on the River Roadbetween Williamstown and the village of Martintown. (My gtgt Nancy'sfamily, like her husband's (Donald) were from the 'front' near Martintown(known as the Dougal Camerons of Williamstown/Martintown(Inveruiskavouline). Douglas Cameron (now deceased) called me a cousin(through his grandmother he descended from the Dougal Camerons on RiverRoad/Martintown, and through his father from the "John the Wise' Cameronfamily!! Roderick Cameron had founded the first clipper ship servicebetween New York and Australia. My Dad used to take me often into theWilliamstown graveyard to show me 'family gravestones (i.e. AllanGlenpean; Duncan Cameron the fur trader, and his son, Roderick)."
From Margaret Cameron, of Long Sault, Ontario
