Early Camerons

These are the earliest records we have of the Cameron family.

William's supposed birth place of "Kilmacrenan, Loch Linnhe X-Scotland" is a combination of two separate errors : (1) Kilmacrenan is not in Scotland but in County Donegal, Ireland, where some Scottish Lynns settled in the first Ulster plantation; and (2) no one as ever been born in Loch anything because a loch is a body of water, not a property or piece of land. His name, reported as William David Cameron Lynn, likewise is a conglomeration of things. In that era in Scotland, it was rare that anyone had even one let alone two middle names. For the Ayrshire Lynn family from which William is believed to have come, first and last name are all that appear in the centuries-long historical Scottish record.

my mother and father were kind and anonymous in their giving.Many years ago in nova scotia their was a baptist church that had been burnt to the ground by arson. The minister went throughout nova scotia and new brunswick looking for a contactor to rebuild their church.Each one approached had a different excuse why they could not rebuild. my father was last on the list and approached my dad. Dad called mom up to the office and they said quietly to the minister they would rebuild the church on two conditions that a. my parents would pay for the work and materials and b. that the minister was to keep their names anonymous.This church is in new glasgow nova scotia.I feel it is right and proper to share an example of my beautiful parents kindness.Their are many many more true stories like this about Robert Burns Cameron and Florence Anna [campbell] Cameron.
