Family of John Clunes /Mary Glennevis Cameron - By Price Cameron March 03, 2011 at 07:48:19
"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.
Alexander Cameron of 6/4 Cornwall has been said by some to have been born in 1754, although no reference was ever cited to support that assertion.We now know that he was born in 1764 because he tells us that in Upper Canada Land PetitionRG 1 L3, C 1651,1815/99/C1, 1/21.This 14 August 1815 petition is from Alexander Cameron of lot 6 concession 4 Cornwall, a Loyalist U. E., Ensign 1st Regiment Stormont Militia, was born in Inverness North Britain, aged 51, has resided in Province of Upper Canada 30 years and upwards.Asks to be granted lot 15 north side of 3rd Street in Town of Cornwall and is prepared to erect a dwelling on this lot.Petition was granted 19 February 1817 and was requested at Cornwall.This same Alexander was granted the east half of 6/4 (what is now Cornwall Twp) in 1785 at the same time his father, John Clunes Cameron was granted the west half.Alexander would have been 21 in 1785."
Alexander married Sarah PARKS on 12 Feb 1786 in Williamstown, Charlottenburg Twp, Glengarry County, Ontario. Sarah (daughter of Nathan PARKS and Sarah MCDONALD) was born about 1766 in Glengarry County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
