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]

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]

Renumbering From Lancaster To Lochiel

(From a group e-mail):


With renumbering, Concession 10 Lancaster would likely have become Concession 1 Lochiel.

Lots 27, 28 Concession 1 Lochiel would not have been particularly close to lots A Concession 3, and 4. You can see these lots on the county atlas page - Glengarry Lochiel.

Muirsherlich and the Inveruiskavouline (Kilmallie) Camerons

Partial View Of 1805 Map Of Scotland (Source - LOC)

Google Maps shows Muirsherlich just north of Fort William.

"The upper bank of the canal between Loy aqueduct and the high ground of Strone has been formed with earth removed from the latter place and the lower or southern bank is to be formed in like manner. This is now in operation by means of a railway and waggons."

The other ridge of ground half a mile beyond the Muirshearlich aqueduct furnishes earth for the banks of the canal between that place and Strone and this operation which will cause a sufficient depth of excavation at Muirshearlich may be expected to be complete at the end of the present year.

Note: It's been stated that the Muirshearlich and the Inveruiskavouline (Kilmallie) Camerons have the same Cameron ancestors.

An excerpt from the Pannebecker message board at Rootsweb:

"Thomas Brown was not only enterprising, he was well placed with both the outgoing and incoming governors. Brown was initially awarded two hundred acres on Abaco in the Bahamas...". He would do better than that. Before his Rangers left Florida, some of them had decided to live as Brown's neighbors on Abaco."

"Near him [Captain Smith, on land called Spencer's Bight] were Captain Alexander C. Wylly, author of "The Sketch of the Siege of Savannah," Captain Donald Cameron...Conrad Pennybaker...".
