General Notes: Husband - James Cameron, Sr.

---

He came to Mahoningtown, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, to see if he would like the place for a residence; the country suiting him in every respect, he returned to Shirleysburg, sold his farm, and started for Mahoningtown with the proceeds, with the intention of purchasing each of his sons a farm. As time passed by, and no word was received from him, inquiry was made along the route which he was supposed to have taken, with the result that his horse and saddle were found but his body was never recovered, nor was there any record of him ever found, but it is supposed that he was murdered and robbed for the money he carried in his saddle-bags.
He was a soldier in the Revolution, and served honorably after having once deserted and then rejoined the army.
