Daniel Cameron

[sophie]

Daniel and Eleanor Cameron were among the earliest settlers of Cape Newagen Island (Maine). They came from Scotland. He was b. in 1750 and she in 1758. They located at Camerons Cove, which has ever since been owned and occupied by their descendants. He was engaged in fisheries to quite an extent in his later years. They evidently had three sons, but there appears nothing to indicate other children. In their last years they lived with their son John. He d. Oct. 11, 1819; she d. Apr. 3, 1834. Children: John b. 1788, William b. 1793, Daniel b. 1798.

The information above came from the book "History of Boothbay, Southport, and Boothbay Harbor, Maine" I have the will of Daniel Cameron and in his will it also lists a daughter , Jane.

I would love to know where in Scotland Daniel and Eleanor came from, or any other information. Look forward to hearing from you!

Since Daniel and Donald were frequently used interchangeably in the Highlands (the Gaelic sounds pretty much the same for both names), perhaps you should also look for Donalds.
