In 1870, Asa and Christopher Cameron were living with their parents, James & Julia, in Riley, St. Clair Co., Michigan. Next door were Charles, age 23, Margaret*, age 21, and James Patterson, age 1. Asa Cameron was also enumerated as a single sawmill worker living with other workers in Caseville, Huron Co., MI, in 1870. [Asa married Udora (Debby) Patterson].
*Margaret was Margaret Cameron, daughter of James & Julia (Dunning) Cameron who was enumerated with them in the 1861 census. Carrie Patterson, born in 1874, in St. Clair Co., was the daughter of Charles & Margaret (Cameron) Patterson. The Pattersons were probably living in Sanilac Co., MI, in 1900. Margaret married 2nd George Cornell, in Livingston Co., Michigan, on August 1, 1914, when she was 65 years old. Her parents were listed as James Cameron and Julia Dunning on the marriage record. Margaret, age 66, married 3rd Thomas Clement, age 55, in Port Huron, St. Clair Co., MI, on 31 July 1918; James W. & Annie E. G. Patterson were the witnesses.
Asa Cameron married 2nd Carrie E. Van Amberg on 6 December 1894, in Livingston Co., Michigan. Asa was living in Roscommon Co., MI, at the time of his marriage. The marriage record stated that Asa had no prior marriages and that Carrie had one -- the information was probably reversed since her name on the marriage record corresponded with her father's surname. C. W. & Jeannette Barber were the witnesses and C.C. Miller was the clergyman.
