    3. To add to the long list of those searching for John Camerons in various locations, may I add the John Cameron family first seen in Lebanon Co, PA in 1810? There are records in the Annville Evangelical Lutheran Church for the children born to John Cameron and his wife Sarah in the years between 1810 and 1820. Those children are: Joseph Cameron, born 14 August 1810, Daniel Cameron, born 22 June 1812, and Catherine Cameron born January, 1816. The name is spelled in various records between 1810 and 1870 as: Cameron, Camron, Cammeron. The Federal census for 1810 and 1820 shows Camerons in Annville Twp, Lebanon Co. PA (formerly part of Dauphin Co, PA) with the given names of John and Levi (there are two households headed by a Levi Cameron). 1810 Federal Census Annville Twp, Dauphin Co, PA Currently Part of Lebanon County Taken from the 1810 Dauphin Co U.S. Census Rolls Free White Males Free White Females All Name 10 16 26 45 +45 10 16 26 45 Levis Cameron 2 1 1 4 2 1 1 Levis Cameron 1 1 1 4 1 1 ohn Cameron 1 1 1 1 1 1 Joseph Cameron said that his parents were born in England in one census, and in Germany in another. Joseph Cameron (b.1810, PA) was married to a Sally Hinds (name given in Fayette Co, Illinois marriage record of their son) in Pennsylvania before 1831, when their first son, William was born. Location of marriage unknown. The Camerons moved to Knox Co., Ohio (later Richland CO, Ohio) by January,1835 when Joseph's second son, John, was born. Joseph's brother, Daniel (b. 1812 PA), married Mary Grubaugh in Knox Co. Ohio in 1838. Joseph Cameron moved west along the National Road to the area of Howard's Point, Fayette CO, Illinois in 1839, according to the information he provided in 1879. His third son, Jeremiah was born there in 1840. Information from Death Certificate of Joseph Cameron White, male, age 95 years, 5 months, 21 days, widower Date of death: February 4, 1902, 8 P.M. From Chester Co.,PA Lived 2 1/2 miles north of St. Elmo Died of Vrarmia, duration of disease: 2 months Buried Yolton Cemetery February 6, 1902 Undertaker: W.F.Metz of St. Elmo, Physician: E.W. Farthing of St. Elmo Joseph's brother, Daniel (b.1812, PA) remained in Ohio, living near his wife's extended family of Grubaughs, Dials, Logues, and McKenzies, and Logsdons, until about 1852, when some of these families moved to Noble Co, Indiana, and then on to Fayette Co, Illinois in about 1856. My great-grandfather, Henry Cameron was the first of Daniel's children born in Illinois (in 1856). Both Joseph and Daniel Cameron remained in Fayette Co, Illinois the rest of their lives. Daniel Cameron died in February, 1875, and his wife Mary Grubaugh Cameron (b.25 Dec 1811 Ohio) died in 1910 at a daughter's home in Decatur, Illinois. I would be delighted to find any trace of John Cameron and wife Sarah before 1810, and to share any information I have with those interested in these families.
