Submitted by Nora Creswell. Aug 17 2009. Submission notes: Dear Lorna,
I've searched for a long time for something that would show a birth certificate, a death notice in a paper or an obituary. If there was one I can't find it. So I'm submitting my own, using facts from the 1860 census, and Mary 's bible. In that bible was hair cut from Cameron, and saved all these years. My mother said Cameron was buried in the family plot. I wonder now if it isn't the Featherkile or Hilderbrand family plots.
While I can't prove it yet, I'm 75 pecent certain Hascall Ransford is indeed a relative. In papers I have, it list New York and Indiana as Cameron's birthplace. Maybe placing these obituarys online will bring forth some information. If not, well, they will be remembered!
