I have a genealogical puzzle with some missing bits and pieces. I need some kind souls with more experience than I currently possess to help me figure it out, or to tell me it is definitely the end of the line. The information below is from the Family Bible of George McCamon, who died 26 Apr 1907 in Florence, Kansas, USA. Another page lists as his parents, Robert T. McCamon (1795-1871) and Elizabeth Wessells (1797-1849). The information is handwritten (beautiful script) on a scrap of paper pasted into the Bible, but is so faint that the copy machine could barely pick it up. The resultant copy is difficult to read, has black speckles all over it (they reproduce beautifully). To the best of my ability, it reads: George McCamon of Belfast, _______ of ________ Tanner & Shoemaker was born the 22n March_________ Married to Sarah Moore on the 7th March 17?9 - _________ to Captain John Moore who was Father to Robert Moore who was Master of The A__(a descending loop here, j? y? p?)______ Privateer out of Belfast in the year 17[7?] The issue from the above mentioned marriage Remaining alive this 27 April 1820 Is, John Moore McCamon, born 12th July 1793 ______ Joseph McCamon – born 12 July 1793 _______ (torn edge of paper) Robert McCamon born 16 May 1795 (torn edge of paper) Sarah McCamon – born 16 J (torn edge of paper) Mary McCamon – born (torn edge of paper) Mary Rogers McCamon (torn edge of paper) was born the 14th Sept (torn edge of paper) born on the 17th Nov (torn edge of paper) born on the 14th (torn edge of paper) Moore ____ (torn edge of paper) [Written vertically on the left side of the page:] Dead. 1 Sarah 2 Margaretts (number?) Georges Is there enough of a date or the ship's name available for someone to narrow down a search in an index of Ships or Privateers, or an index of Ship Captains? I confess I'm very curious about that privateer business. Are there Belfast census or church records for the 1700s? On fiche or film? Robert McCamon (above) emigrated to the Tweed, Ontario, Canada area before 1819. His son George McCamon moved south to Kansas sometime after 1851. Can anyone provide information of George McCamon (Belfast) and Sarah Moore and her male relatives (Belfast)? I have a small amount of information on the Kansas McCamon family that I would be happy to share if anyone is interested. Dorothy Updike
