Cameron Residing At Arnisdale Of Glenelg

At Lochiel's proof, held at Banavie, on 11th May, 1825, Glengarry was much in evidence, and at the outset succeeded, at least for the time, in having the proposed evidence of Alexander Cameron, Esq.,

residing at Arnisdale of Glenelg, rejected. Mr. Cameron was on the point of starting for America animo remanendi, and the time was scrimp. Being only sixty-five years of age, Glengarry argued
that the Commission only covered aged witnesses (above seventy), or such as from ill-health and infirmity might at any moment die. [Source]

Jane, Daughter Of Allan Cameron Of Lochiel

Alexander [MacDonald/MacDonell], known as Alasdair Dearg, married Jane, daughter of Allan Cameron of Lochiel, by whom he had Angus. Donald of Glengarry died in 1645, and was succeeded by his grandson, Angus. Angus, ninth of Glengarry, was raised to the peerage, in 1660, by the title of Lord Macdonell and Arros. He died, without issue, in 1682.

Donald Cameron, Tenant Of Kinlochiel

Donald Cameron, tenant of Kinlochiel, was then adduced, aged seventy-five, and showed minute knowledge of Glenkingie and its sheilings from 1775 downwards.

Glen Kingie, Highland, Scotland

He also spoke of the festivities consequent on the restoration of the Lochiel Estates, in 1785, in these terms — There was great rejoicing in the country, and plenty of bonfires and drinking. Perhaps the most interesting part falling under Cameron's examination occurred when Lochiel's Agent put the following question : —

Whether it consists with the knowledge of the witness that, from the year 1775 down to 1820, the tenants of the farms on the north side of Loch Arkaig, and of Shanvall and Glackfearn in Glendessary, had the quiet and peaceable possession of their respective farms and sheilings, as above enumerated, and as parts and portions of the estate of Lochiel, and without any molestation whatever, either during the time that the estate was under the management of His Majesty's Commissioners or
since. [Source]

"By the best Celtic authorities, the Camerons are supposed to have been of the same origin as the Clan Chattan. At first there were three branches of them the Camerons of Glenevis, the Camerons of Strone, and the MacMartins of Letterfinlay, all separated from the Clan Chattan by the end of the 14th century, probably after the famous battle of the North Inch at Perth."

Mrs. Alexander Cameron

Glengarry (Ontario, Canada) News, published August 5, 1892:

"Mrs. Alexander Cameron, 12-5 Lochiel, returned home from Orchard Beach last Saturday, looking hale and hearty after her trip to the sea side."

Hidden Treasure At Loch Arkaig

From a blog post entitled "The Jacobite Treasure of Loch Arkaig…:"

"Six caskets...were brought to Loch Arkaig (just north of Fort William) and hidden. Their secret was entrusted to Murray of Broughton, one of the Jacobite fugitives. Murray began the distribution to clan chiefs, but when he was apprehended by the government (and later turned state’s evidence the treasure was entrusted first to Locheil, the chief of Clan Cameron, and then to Macpherson of Cluny, head of Clan Macpherson. Cluny was hiding in a cave at Ben Alder, which came to be known as ‘the cage’, and when Charles briefly joined him there, Cluny had control of the money, which was still hidden at Arkaig."

"If the Highlanders were encouraged by hopes of French assistance, the French treasure stored at Loch Arkaig served a practical purpose in supporting them during a period of irksome inactivity."

"It amounted at first to about 440,000, and Prince Charles seems to have wished to take what remained of it in September with him to France. The proposal was debated at a long Council of War and the clansmen and their Chiefs, as might be expected, disliked the proposal. The gold, therefore, remained in its hiding place at Loch Arkaig."  (Cluny's Treasure) [Source]

Mother's Intervention

An Historical Account of the Settlements of Scotch Highlanders in America, by J. P. MacLean:

The method of warfare carried on by Sir John Johnson and his adherents did not sway the lofty mind of Washington, as may be illustrated in the following narration furnished the author by Rev. Dr. R. Cameron, grandson of Alexander Cameron, who was a direct descendant of Donald Dubh of Lochiel. This Alexander Cameron came to America in 1773, and on the outbreak of the Revolution enlisted as a private under Sir John Johnson. Three times he was taken prisoner and condemned to be executed as a spy. How he escaped the first time is unknown. The second time, the wife of the presiding officer at the court-martial, informed him in Gaelic that he would be condemned, and assisted him in dressing him in her own clothes, and thus escaped to the woods. The third time, his mother, Mary Cameron of Glennevis, rode all the way from Albany to Valley Forge on horseback and personally plead her cause before Washington. Having listened to her patiently, the mighty chief replied: "Mrs. Cameron, I will pardon your son for your sake, but you must promise me that you will take him to Canada at once, or he will be shot." The whole family left for Canada. [Source]
