Hello: I continue to search for the parentage of Charles CAMERON, early pioneer at York and Crown Land settler on Con. 1 SDS, Lot 35, Toronto Township, Peel County. 1800. He had served as a young Drummer with the 26th of Foots after the American Revolution.. In Robertson's Landmarks. he is found with a Mary and an Ann , at each others weddings and baby baptisms at York. He raised a family of 10 on said farm , the last child's death was in 1912. His sister Ann married Philip HAINES and they lived at Cheltenham. I am taking a 'roud-about -look' , hoping that someone from another part of the family will remember a story of a little Drummer boy who served in Quebec and who had ancestors who fought on the Plains of Abraham. If I can find his parentage I can then connect him to Scotland and the line of Chiefs from which he came. This may sound a little folksy but I will try anything to grab some attention from Peel County . I have only ever had a reply from Jane Watt and Muriel Davidson and one man who was an excellent helper. other than one other from B.C . I guess i am picking up on Muriel's comment about a 'layed back' gang in Peel County compared to other places. I agree with her. I seem to get response from other places and 'list moms' who do a wonderful job of facilitating the searches and bringing vitality to the 'hunt'. Am I wrong?! To re-coup- I am for HAINES and related names and Cameron and related names. Thank you! Delphine Large

Hi Delphine, I've checked our resources but can't see that anyone is researching the HAINES surname. Why don't you put together a query and send it to me via email and we'll put it in our next newsletter, which is August, sorry you just missed the May issue.

Thanks Jane: I have had several emails and it does not look like the right family. I was referred to a Cheltenham B&B and have had a reply. Another checked Peel GenSociety and told me there was one copy of a Cameron file there. I told her it was likely mine ! And she said there was a Haines one there. I have no idea what that is. I have been in touch earlier with Ruth Robb to do some other task for me, but she said she had not been feeling well and her computer was on the fritz again. I have not heard another word, so I hope she is o.k. I think I won't labour the point. It was just a thought on my part to try to find something in a different fashion. Nothing venture, nothing gained. In this case nothing gained. Thanks for your comments.

While I have no Haines' in my research I do have some Camerons. As the Camerons are an offshoot of my family/married into I haven't spent much time researching them. I have a Catherine Christina Cameron (b. Jul 1882) marrying a Gowland. I also have the family of Archibald and Mary (McDonald, 1856-1916) Cameron and their children John, Elizabeth, Marion and Archibald. All of either Peel or Wellington Cty. I also have a Adeline Emily Cameron marrying into the Roberts family in the 1940s. Let me know if this research is of any help.
