General Notes: Husband - Donald Cameron
family traces descent from the Camerons of Scotland, who shared their fortunes with the unfortunate Charles Edward, whose star of hope sunk on the field of Culloden. Donald Cameron was a participant in that memorable battle, and having escaped the carnage, made his way to America, arriving about 1745-6. He afterwards fought under the gallant Wolfe upon the heights of Abraham. [BHLC, 125]
He came to America in the spring of 1772 with his sons John and Simon and wife and Ann McKenzie (who was probably the sister of Simon's wife, who is known to have been a McKenzie).
They were farmers.
