Though he was a few years older, (he and my little sister share a birthday, december 8th. he in'58, and she in'79. i was born in 1963, and would have just turned 18, on august 4th when he passed away....at the age of 22) we had some good times at some house parties, and just partying in the woods and having fun with friends, pets, and animals. some people said jeff fell asleep on the tracks. me and alot of my friends? are of the belief that he was beaten up....and left laying on the tracks. i'm not big on conspiracy theories..............but his death stunk.............to HIGH HEAVEN!!!!

it really did.

God Bless Jeff....and all his siblings.....his folks.........God Bless everyones souls who've passed on since.

Sincerely.............D B Smith and Son's. Erie Pa.

Cameron's Castle: from Scotland to SC to IL

little_pj — 2013-02-18 23:28:45Z

I don't have a lot of information Apparently Thomas was born in the auld country and in Charles Town, SC by 1767 where Thomas, JR was supposedly born c 1800. This Thomas was the 4th family to move to Cass Township, Fulton County, IL. He arrived about 1824.

It should be understood there was more than one marriage between the Cameron and Cannon families of Fulton County. I have few dates.

Nancy Cameron 180-1871 m. Benjamin Cannon and had 10 children.
John Cannon m. Mary Jane Sherwood
...Telitha Cannon m. William Warfield
Permilla A. Cameron m. James F. Cannon and move to MN about 1858.
...John Hawthorne Cameron m. Mary Watson and they had James A., Alice, Martha, Elizabeth, Phoebe, Hanna K., and Sarah Ellen Cameron
...James Augustus Cameron "Jim Gus" m. Diantha Hinderlighter
......Dena A. m. Albion Little, and sec on after she was widowed.

Cameron, Canon, Warfield and Little are related by birth and marriage. These were large faming families who customarily had 10 or more children. There was many opportunities to marry neighbors. Telitha Cannon Warfield, for instance, married my grandmother'c uncle and had 12 children..

Mother said it was as easy to find 100 cousins in ten unrelated families as was to find double cousins, and cousins "three ways". .

Thomas Henry Carney/Kearney

barbrrob52 — 2012-12-21 13:39:00Z

I am still having problems finding Thomas as far as finding his birth and death date. He did live here in Cameron Co. with his family. I do have the 1900 Census with his last name spelled Kearney. He has fallen off the face of the earth. I could really use some help please.

Re: Ervin Wesley Priest

That's him. Found his obituary only has Lillian Hart as wife. He's buried in the same cemetery as his mother and father. Emma Augusta Reed married William Priest. Emma is my great aunt on my paternal side. Nancy

Re: Ervin Wesley Priest

NancyTracy45 — 2012-10-19 19:07:02Z

I'm sorry I missed your reply both times. Ervin's obituary basically states he died in Bradford, Pa. the son of late Mr. and Mrs. William Priest and that he was married to Lillian Hart and they had 4 children. They give a list of brothers and his one sister and that he was interned in the Truman Cemetery. There is no mention of another family. This was printed in the Cameron County Press dated January 17, 1957. Nancy

Re: Ervin Wesley Priest

cherreeblue24 — 2012-06-29 20:40:36Z

I hope you get this message. I see Lynda never replied, but no, her mother's name was not Lillian. Ervin was married to Florence Partridge before he married Lillian and had about 6 children, one of whom is my husband, Erven Edward Priest. We thought Ervin only had 3 children to his second wife. If you have his obituary, we're very interested in seeing it. Also, if you have the names and addresses of his children to his second wife, we would like that, too. We met his one daughter, Mary, one time but have lost track of her.

Margaret Cameron, Son John, Scot/Virg/Lancaster PA

biokmst11 — 2012-06-06 20:00:55Z

Looking for family of Margaret Cameron (may have actually been her maiden name), widow of Alexander Cameron before her emigration - both of Inverness-shire, Scotland.
Margaret came to America about 1740 with son, John...to Virginia...to Lancaster County, PA. John Cameron was Revolutionary War Soldier as were his sons, John, Hugh, and Alexander.
They may have been related to Duncan Cameron as they appeared to migrate in same area before big influx of scot into PA.

Re: Beldin family

MABeldin — 2012-05-30 17:52:54Z

Nancy- Thank you for the information, do you have the death certificate for Sylvester? I don't have a copy of that. Do you have anything "official" for Lindsey or Amos? It's funny Lindsey seems to fall in the twilight zone, I can't find much online about him other than the basics, but no documentation.

If you have any documents you wouldn't mind sharing would you please email them to me, kris.beldin@gmail.com.

Thank you very much.

Re: Beldin family

NancyTracy45 — 2012-05-30 14:28:17Z

Sylvester's parents were Lindsay Belding and Jane Garrison as per his death certificate. The informent was Josephine Beldin his wife. Sylvester was born in Barton, Tioga County, NY. He is enumerated with his parents in 1850 there.

Re: Beldin family

MABeldin — 2012-05-30 05:09:41Z

Christy- Our family comes from the Sylvester Lindsay Beldin line, but we cannot find any official connections of Sylvester to his father Lindsay or his grandfather Amos, do you have anything official that makes the connection?

Linda,

I was alerted to your post by a fellow researcher on Catherine Smith wife of Peter. I too am descended from Catherine Smith daughter of Benjamin Smith and his wife Mary Wilson. I have long felt Benjamin was a son of Catherine Smith but could not prove it. I would be pleased to discuss with you.

Re: Hiram / Nancy / Oliver / Nancy Jr / Russel or Russell

reflecthislove — 2012-03-09 18:25:36Z

very distantly...I am decended from Michael Russell 1765-1835. Through Rueben Russell and Sarah Eiklor. I worked on the Russell Line for years in an effort to connect my Great Grandfather Hiram to this line. Until i began my work there was no info on many of the Russells you now find on my tree. I had to follow them all over the USA and back to complete the connection as I worked to find a living desendant that might help me in my search. Thus the branch containing your Grandfather Lynn. I figured as I hunted things down it was only right to add the info for anyone who came looking for thier roots....hope that helps.

Hi, I think I may have replied to you on another post earlier today regarding Rebecca Stanton. She was an older sister of Abel Morse Stanton and I also strongly believe she was my 3rd great grandmother. She married a William Haines (Haynes) according to the book written about Thomas Stanton and his decendants. Do you happen to have any information on her?
Many thanks,

I am going to send you in book form the genealogy of George. You will see in it that there are other brothers and sisters that went to PA with the family. Would love to find out anything on the other children. If the notes for the other children don't print out in the book, let me know, and I will send them seperately.

Re: Nickerson Family of Cameron and Potter Counties

mindyralston1 — 2011-04-26 19:37:39Z

My email address is mindy.ralston@gmail.com.

I had thought about their move too. Its difficult moving in present times with a small child, let alone a newborn. I can't even begin to imagine the difficulties of moving that large a distance in the 1800s.

I would imagine William died in Wharton. I had thought of him living with one of the children as he got older. It seemed to be a common thing to do. I've not seen any mention of him living with George's family, but they were in a different county, though its not that far away.

There is a possibility of my going to Cameron County this coming weekend. If I'm able to get to Wharton, I'd be happy to take a look at the cemetery and see if I can find William there. I'll let you know what I find.

Re: Nickerson Family of Cameron and Potter Counties

bhensley56 — 2011-04-26 17:14:44Z

I will send you the information on the family. May I have your email address. I can send you what I have in the form of a book,,,I will start it with George, then give you my line from his father William.

I am inclined to believe that William died in Wharton because he was listed there in the city directory in 1904, and his wife is in the asylum in 1930. I could be though that he went to live with one of his children when his wife entered the hospital. Going to keep looking. I can only imagine how hard it was for William and Abigail to move from Maine to Pennsylvania in 1869. They traveled with a newborn baby, as well as several other children. Some stayed here in Maine because they had married and had families of their own.

Brenda

Re: Nickerson Family of Cameron and Potter Counties

mindyralston1 — 2011-04-26 17:03:51Z

I do not have any history of the Nickersons beyond William and Abigail. I only found out that they were his parents fairly recently. Unfortunately, I have no idea where William Nickerson is buried. I would love to find out more on this branch of my family tree though!

Re: Nickerson Family of Cameron and Potter Counties

sbnass1 — 2011-04-26 15:22:32Z

So that makes us cousins. Do you have the genealogy of his father and back? If not, I do and would be glad to share it. I am the gg-grandaughter of his brother Charles. Charles did not go to Pennsylvania, he remained here in Maine. Do you know where George's father William was buried? His mother is buried in Wharton Cemetery. William remarried a Susan, and I don't find him in the 1930 census, but Susan is in the hospital in Wharton.

George W. Nickerson is my great great grandfather. He married Cecelia V. Lewis on 4 June 1891 in Olean NY.

They had 8 children, all born in Pennsylvania, some in Potter county, some in Cameron county:
Herbert Agustus Nickerson 1892 – 1901
Harry Winfield Nickerson 1894 – 1968
Leah Esther Nickerson 1897 – 1970
Mildred Nickerson 1900 – 1994
Irene Effie Nickerson 1903 – 1958
Francis Lewis Nickerson 1906 – 1998
Marian Lavern Nickerson 1909 – 1984
Helen Grace Nickerson 1912 – 1918
Howard George Nickerson 1912 – 1915

George was hit by a train on his way home from work and died 24 Oct 1912. Cecelia then married Edward Newell Morse.
