"Attention descendants of John Cameron of Clunes and Mary Cameron of Glennevis of Lot 6 Concession 4 Cornwall Twp, ON.
The purpose of this posting is to point out evidence establishing the age of Alexander Cameron, son of John Clunes Cameron and Mary Glennevis Cameron of lot 6 concession 4 Cornwall TWP, ON and to correct misinformation about that couple's son, Allan, reported in a chart in Duncan Darby MacDonald's compilation on the Camerons of Cornwall.
In 1804 the Rev John Bethune recorded the 5 July marriage of Allan Cameron of Cornwall widower and Jane McDonell of Charlottenburgh.Allan Clunes Cameron must have been dead by the spring of 1815 because there is a 25 April 1815 petition of Ann Cameron (Cumming) daughter of the late Allan Cameron of Cornwall, U. E. Loyalist.The 1816 will of John McDonell of Charlottenburgh leaves 50 pounds to his sister, Jane, widow of Allan Cameron. (This same will includes a 50 pound bequest to John's and Jane's sister, Janet Cameron, widow of Donald Cameron.This Donald was Allan Clunes Cameron's brother who died in Berwick,Finch in the spring of 1812 from injuries sustained in a log jam accident).It does not appear that Allan Clunes Cameron ever left Cornwall."
