My ancestors include a John Cameron, b. 1823 to James and Jane (Mathews) Cameron of Coleraine, IE. Drouin records show his marriage in 1845 at Notre-Dame-du-Bonsecours to Sally Kesy (Casey) b. 1825 of Buckingham, daughter of James and Elizabeth (Whelan, sp??) Casey. Their child, James Henry, was found in the 1861 census living with Sally's brother Anthony in a log cabin in Ottawa along with his cousin, Catherine Cooligan.
Is there a connection with your line in any way? Buckingham was so small I am presuming SOME connection with identically surnamed individuals.
Thanks you,

J. Fulton, I do not know of a connection, but agree that with Buckingham being so small, it would be surprising if a connection did not exist. I'm getting some help with my Cameron research through DNA (my brother's) -- have you gone that route? Cathy
