Cameron family, from Beauly, immig. 1775 to Philadelphia

Classification: Query
Surnames: Cameron
I am looking for information in Scotland on the following Cameron family members who were from Beauly, Scotland, and sailed from Stornaway/Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland to Philadelphia, Colony of Pennsylvania, in July 1775 aboard the ship "Clementina":

Donald Cameron, 65 years old, former residence Beauly
John Cameron, 34 years old, former residence Beauly
Simon Cameron, 29 years old, former residence Beauly
Charles Cameron, 5 years old, former residence Beauly
Mary Cameron, 3 years old, former residence Beauly
Catherine Cameron, 6 months old, former residence Beauly

Donald is presumed to be the father of John and Simon and the grandfather of the three young children who are presumed to be the children of John and/or Simon.

John is reportedly the father of my great, great, great grandfather Absalom Cameron who was born 30 July 1791, in Virginia, died 9 Sep 1856, in Grainger Co., Tennessee, and married Elizabeth "Betsey" Gallion / Galyon on 7 March 1812, in Grainger Co., Tennessee.

The following Camerons were on the same ship and may be related though their former residence was not Beauly:

Donald Cameron, 24 years old, former residence Fort Augustus
Janet Cameron, 18 years old, former residence Loch Broom

Any assistance finding sources in Beauly or elsewhere in Scotland about these Cameron family members will be much appreciated.
