Charts Chris' ancestors
Descendants of Archibald Cameron & Margaret McLean
Relationship 2nd great-grandfather of Chris Parkhill.

Christening*15 Feb 1785 at Scarinish, Tyree, ARL, SCT, this is a patron submission and has Scarinish as the place3,4 
Birthc. 1786 on Tyree, ARL, SCT, assumes correct id in 1851, but as the one I found had the only Hector of near the right age to be Donald's son, in Scotland it seems likely. The other Hectors in 1851 to choose from were:a 23 yr old in Morven, Argyll, s/o John and Anne, so right age and county, wrong parents; a 25 yr old in Glairloch, ROC (didn't check that entry as wrong county); The only Lanarkshire one was a 4 yr old in Glasgow5 
Marriage*30 Jan 1810 Tyree, ARL, entry reads: Donald Cameron & Cath McKinnon in Cornaigmore were married, Bride=Catherine McKinnon6,1,7 
Death*9 Nov 1868 at Cornaigmore, Tyree, ARL, SCT, of natural decay from old age, at 4pm, no medical attendant, widower of Catherine McKinnon, s/o Archibald Cameron, crofter and Margaret m.s. McLean, both dec. inf. son John X his mark, present at dth, reg. Tyree, 14th Nov, InformantForFather=John Cameron2 
PotentlDup* both were married to Catherine McKinnons and having children at the same time. To help others avoid similar confusion, I've included both families on the web, with a bit of license in that I've shifted all unconfirmed children into the second family as well so as not to clutter up Chris' Donald and Catherine. This may be a bit of licesnse on my behalf however, heaven help us if there were three families, PotDupRejtd=Donald Cameron8 
Census1841*7 Jun 1841 at Cornaig Morr, Tyree, ARL, SCT, CAMERON: Donald, 60 cotter; Catherine 50; Flora 15; Christian 12; Hector 10; Catherine 7. All b County; Hseholds either side were McPhail, and a Donald & Ann McLean 2 hseholds on, AssmdCouple=Catherine Cameron, AssmdSonDtr=Flora Cameron, AssmdSonDtr=Christina Cameron, AssmdSonDtr=Hector Cameron, AssmdSonDtr=Catherine Cameron9 
Census30 Mar 1851 Tyree, ARL, CAMERON (all b Tyree): Donald, widower, 65, ag lab; Dtr Margrat, 31; Son Hector 20, apprentice; Dtr Cathrine 18; Son John, married 32, cartwright; Dtr-in-law Cathrine 28; Grddtr ?Marion? 4mths (place virtually unreadable, but I think it might read Cornaigmore), Son=Hector Cameron, Son=John Cameron, Daughter=Catherine Cameron, Daughter=Margaret Cameron, Grdchild=Marion Cameron5 
Census*7 Apr 1861 at Cornaigmore Farm, Tyree, Par of Tyree St Coll, ARL, SCT, CAMERON: Donald, widower, 79, pauper; Dtr Christina 29, pauper's dtr, both b Tyree although her age is 7 yrs shy of reality if I've picked the right christening!!, Daughter=Christina Cameron10 
Note4Web* Although the IGI has a number of childen listed for a couple of this name, and shown in previous versions of this web page, they were mostly, then, unconfirmed. The dates given would be technically possible, provided Catherine was barely more than 20 when she married Donald. Remembering that there might be two couples of the same names, I checked out the closeness of the births and only found two possible overlaps: Betty followed rather quickly on Archibald's 1810 heels, and the 1823 Ann likewise on the 1822 Mary's, but otherwise all look feasible, but tiring on poor Catherine. I have only begun sorting these out into the two separate families that do indeed exist, one lived Cornaigmore, the other at Balephuill. And the date spread I was suspicious about, still holds, poor Catherine was having children from 1810 thru to 1831, Principal=Catherine McKinnon11
