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

In 1809 a petition was addressed to the Rev. John Anderson, Factor for the Lochaber Estate of the Duke of Gordon by "widow Isabella Cameron" (also described as "widow Angus Cameron" and "daughter of Donald Mor Oig Cameron"). She wrote to the Factor pleading that she was in severe poverty, infirm and unable to pay the rent. One of approx. 7 or 8 tenants there, she clarified that she had lived at "Blarchoirn" for 28 years, and had been widowed for 4. She had "8 orphans", one of whom,"the 9 year old", had epilepsy, and required constant attention. (Ref. Chris Doak)
