If you cna help Ruby with her Cameron ancestors, please e-mail her directly with a copy to the list for the rest of us. Thanks! --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: [email protected] My mother, Lillie Mae Cameron was born in Gamburg, MO (Gamberg??) April 10, 1896. She was the 7th child of James Samuel Cameron and Mary Elizabeth Butler. Other children included eleven Minor, Node (Onie), Edd (not sure of that spelling), Benjamin, Sam, Sherman, Chester, and Dewey. Chester was the last child that was born in Ripley County, November 23, 1898. As far as I know my mother was the first child born in Gamburg, for this family, and the family previously lived in Arkansas and Illinois. We went down the old military road in Ripley County and found Gamburg or what used to be Gamburg. We went to the cemetaries that we could find around Gamburg, ie. Fairdealing, Naylor, etc. and went to the Doniphan Courthouse. We are looking for any death records for my grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Cameron (Butler). I have seen in some records that her name was listed as Betty Butler but I do not know if that is correct or not. Butler was her maiden name. We think she died February 20, 1899 around Gamburg, MO. We can not find any records anywhere for her death or for the family's whereabouts until 1910 where we find James Samuel, my grandfather, remarried to a Martha Pace c. 1900. This information was found in the 1910 census. They had one child, Dewey August 16, 1901 born in Success, AR. This information was given to me by a relative who was my mother's cousin.
