Hi,
i am the great granddaughter of Stark General Cameron (general is his middle name) it is family story that he is related to General John Stark, American Revolutionary war hero; Hence the name "Stark General" that his parents gave him. However, i have not proved this or found out the connection. Stark changed his name to John Stark Cameron. (he kept his surname the same)
John stark was born to Helen M. Bonekemper (who through her mother M. Iona Bridges is also supposed to be related to rev. war general j. stark) and Guy E Cameron, on 18 Nov 1913, in Victoria B.C., Canada. However later on John had to prove his eligibility for US citizenship because both his parents were born in the USA. Helen was born in Sutton, NE in 1888. Guy Cameron was born ABT 1887 in possibly Nebraska too. John S. Cameron grew up in Sutton, NE with his parents, then later with his uncle Ivan Bonekemper.
I am trying to find more about the Cameron side of my family, however this is very difficult for me because Guy Cameron left Helen Bonekemper when John s. Cameron and his 3 siblings were young; so the family doesn't know much.
What i know from my aunt is that Guy E Cameron's parents were Don Cameron and Mary Duncan (Mary was b. in Sutton, Ne) she attended Doane College in Crete NE and they met there. Don owned a restaurant in Omaha, NE and was of Scottish decent..(most of this paragraph comes from my aunt's genealogy research notes). Supposedly too, one of my Cameron relatives fought in the american civil war. Currently i am working on seeing if my great aunt has john s. cameron's birth certificate.
John Stark Cameron died in Napa, Napa Co, CA, USA on 10 Mar 2001
Any information on any of the mentioned people would be Greatly appreciated, or if you think we may have a connection please contact me through this website, my email alaina7a7@yahoo.com, or with my ancestry family tree: trees.ancestry.com/pt/pedigree.aspx?tid=1269649&pid=-1960938979&pg=0
