    • Sponsors at Baptism were Roderick McKinnon and Ann McDougald

      Mary is listed in the 1881 Census as Mary Cameron, status as married, living at Lot 11, 3rd Concession, Kenyon Twp. Her father Duncan is widowed, so Mary must have gone to live with her family. There are two children named Angus and Donald also listed on the 1881 Census, with the surname Cameron. These are believed to be the children of Mary.

      Dougald deserted Mary and the boys on March 25,1877. Believed to have taken off to New York State.
      At the time of the 1881 Census, as Mary is living with her widowed father at the Cameron family farm.

      Mary moved to Alcona County in the fall of 1883 and on March 7, 1885 filed a Biil for Divorce with the Circuit Court for the County of Alcona, State of Michigan.
      A court hearing was held on September 2nd and judgement was made on September 9th.

      Mary (Cameron) McDonald was remarried in Alcona County to a Donald (Dan) Stewart on Sept 12,1885.
      They were both residing in the town of Black River.
      Black River was the site of a lumbering operation.
      Dan and Mary had five children, all born in Alcona County.
      One was given the name John after Dan's father, and one was named Duncan Mae after Mary's two parents.
      Around 1896 the family moved to Rolette County in the Dakota Territory where they homesteaded land near the town of St John and where they have descendants today.
