"In 1531 King James V granted to Ewen Alansoun captain of Clancameroune the lands of Invergarry, Kilenane, Lagane, and Auchindrom,...and other lands in the lordship of Lochabir, for a yearly payment of 40 marks; all which lands belonged to the King in property, but were never in his rental, and were occupied by the inhabitants of the Isles and others who had no right to them."

The Glengarry, Ontario, GenWeb site included the George Sandfield Macdonald Scribble Books 1883 -1889.
There were two "Cameron" entries in the Scribble Books:

And 

Donald Cameron, nephew of Col. Fraser, ran for the country. Uncle Ranald was a clerk at his store in Alexandria. His father was a registrar.

Camerons: Ewen & Jane And Donald & Grace

Ewen & Jane Cameron of Templeton, Canada, who died of cholera in the summer of 1852 had two sons, John Cameron, born in 1829 and Allan Randolph Cameron, born in 1831. They were married 31 January 1827 in Lochliel, Glengarry, Canada.

Allen Randolph Cameron immigrated to Victoria, Australia, around 1860, mined gold fields there and married Annie Kelly in 1868.

It is believed that my ancestor, Allen Cameron, was the grand-uncle of John Cameron & Allan Randolph Cameron. Was he related through their mother or their father or both? This is where it gets interesting....and confusing....and..... . Still working on who was related to whom. Would one of the descendants of Donald/Grace Cameron be able to shed light on the family relationships?

The Donald Cameron who married Grace Cameron was the brother of Ewan Cameron. Grace Cameron was the daughter of Adj. John & Susannah Cameron. Their (Donald & Grace's) descendants are listed below:
