Other Events:

• Ancestor of Line: [Ewen8] EWEN CAMERON from NETHER LOCHABER

Notes:

"whose ancestors are said to belong to the old stock of Camerons who lived in Nether Lochaber for generations back". His descendants have made a claim of illegitimate descent from the Camerons of Erracht, suggesting that this may have been Ewen of Erracht, father of Sir Alan Cameron of the 79th Highlanders. I have seen no evidence to substantiate this claim. A letter of 1900 (see John7) states that Allan Cameron, grandson of Margaret was second cousin of Camerons of Drochit Onich, identified as Callart branch
