    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: CAMERON, FIRESTINE, FEUERSTEIN, ALLISON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zJB.2ACE/2031 Message Board Post: In the 1910 census, I found Harriet and Roderick Cameron living in Buchannon Co., in the 7th Ward, St. Jo. on 7th. At that time, she was 86 and he was 74. I have never been able to find any trace of their deaths or of their burials. When I visited St. Jo. in 1996, I was searching for burials of the Firestine family (Feuerstein) and didn't have time to check the city directories, funeral homes, or cemeteries but I have looked extensively at records posted on the internet. Harriet is my Great-Great-Great Grandmother. She was married to James K. Allison, my Great-Great-Great Grandfather. James was died while being held prisoner by the Confederate Army in Richmond, Va. After years of searching, we finally discovered his burial took place in the Richmond, Virginia National Cemeterty however his grave is not marked and there seems to be no record of exactly where the plot is. The US Gov't has said that they will place a marker there to honor him and have sent me the paperwork to carry out this process however I am reluctant to do so until I can at least provide a place of birth and/or a date of birth to help identify him. I am in hopes that thru finding more information about Harriet Angeline G. Burr (Allison, Cameron) that this will help me find this information so the marker can be made. I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me. Carol Groover I live in Georgia and therefore haven't been able to make another trip to Missouri to find this information. If anyone there has any information concerning the Rodericks, I would be very greatful.
