He was one of 12 as follows; Allan Cameron Jessie Cameron James Cameron b. 8.2.1801 Lifford, Ireland. d 19.10.1822 Loch Maddy N.Uist Duncan Campbell Cameron b.4.7.1804 Lochmaddy N.Uist Ewen Alexander Campbell b. 28.10.1806 Louisa Cameron b. 7.9.1807 Alexander Wentworth, 15th of Callart b.9.10.1810 d7.12.1875 Ann Abercromby Cameron b 10.9.1799 Ardgour House, Barcaldine (Eldest, Unmarried, lived with her widowed sister Mary Lees in Stornoway)d.1884 Colin John Cameron b.1819 d. 8.7.1827 (aged just 8yrs) Mary Isabella Cameron b.1801 d1885 Oban Jane Cameron Mary marries John Lees, has a son Rev. James Cameron Lees, but is widowed. Alexander Wentworth marries Isabella Margaret MacLean and they have; Mary Isabella Cameron Mary Flora Cameron b.11.10.1856 Neil MacLean Cameron, 17th of Callart b.23.11.1858 d.1915 in Texas USA Harriet Louisa Cameron b6.11.1860 Kilninian, Mull Lillias Margaret Julia Cameron b.16.6.1863 d.21.1.1940 Allan Cameron, 16th of Callart b.3.7.1857 d.1917 in New Zealand Mary Jane Cameron b.1.5.1833 Isabella MacDonald Cameron b.June 1855 What is very interesting is that there appears to be TWO 17th's of Callart - one in Alexander and one in Johns line. Why the Callart sucession jumped across to John I haven't found out, and why there appears to be no 14th of Callart is also a mystery to me.... Hope this helps, Stacie MacDonald ( highlandwildrides@googlemail.com)
