"From the time I was very small I heard about how 'Donald and hisbrother, Allan, 'went north' to Finch in 1808. The farm (Lot 21-4 Finch)was in the family from 1808, but, from what I was told, there was aproperty mixup (i.e. - the four Camerons who had trekked in from Lochiel- Alexander Cameron and his four sons --also with the names Allan Donaldetc) with the Camerons in the concession south of them (the four who hadhiked in from Lochiel Township). But my Dad's first cousins were relatedto that Cameron family through their 'grandmother' not through the maleline from 'OUR Donald, and this has been a mix for the local gen. "
