I'm searching for information, especially a will, on Duncan G. Cameron. My 3rd great grandfather was born in either North Carolina or Scotland, depending upon which records you believe, circa 1795. Duncan was a tailor and married Nancy Winters in Orange County, North Carolina on May 5, 1822. I have seen records of Duncan purchasing "3 adult Negroes" there in 1823, so he and his family must have been at least fairly well off. He and his wife moved to Franklin County later that year and Nancy bore her first son in that county late in 1823. The couple had at least 9 children together before Nancy died between 1844 and 1846. Duncan Cameron remarried to a woman named Sarah before 1847, the birth year of their son-- Thomas. Duncan G. Cameron apparently died sometime between 1850 and 1860. He is listed in the 1850 Census of Franklin County with his family, but is absent from the 1860 Census. However, I am not discounting the fact that he may have moved his family to another county. Duncan and Nancy's children: 1) William A. Cameron, born 1823, married Mary Pair September 12, 1844 2) Catharine Cameron, born abt. 1828, married Littlejohn Ingram February 22, 1845 3) Thursey Cameron, born 1829, female, listed as being an idiot 4) Wiley Cameron, born 1834 5) Unknown Male Cameron, born abt. 1837, possibly the Sloan Cameron listed in Co. K of the 52nd Georgia Infantry-- the same unit as Alvin D. Cameron (see below). Sloan was KIA at Vicksburg in 1862. 6) Alvin D. Cameron, born 1838, captured at Vicksburg in 1862, paroled there in 1863. He surrendered at Greensboro, NC on April 26, 1865. 7) Mary Cameron, born 1839 8) Valentine Cameron, born 1840 9) Sarah E. Cameron, born August 8, 1844, married J.P. Ayers in 1865 Duncan and Sarah's children: 1) Thomas T. Cameron, born 1847 Any and all information will be gratefully received, David Lineberger Athens, Georgia david168@bellsouth.net
