Alexander Cameron arrived in Georgia as a private soldier in the fall of 1738 with General James Oglethorpe's new 42nd Regiment and served there for a number of years. He received the commission of Ensign in an independent company in S. C. on Feb. 25, 1761. [Source]
He died in Savannah, Georgia, in 1781 and had three executors for his estate, including Wm. Ogilvie, Captain in the British Navy and Captain Donald Cameron, who, after 1803, was in Canada.
