I realize that this Mary does not appear with this couple on the 1860 census.I was wondering if she was the daughter of the other male on the 1850 census.On the census report that I found on Ancestry it lists a Joseph Campbell,age 25 born in Indiana and a Mary age 28 born in Illinois. I am assuming that Mary, age 28 may be the wife of Joseph Cameron.My Mary Cameron has a son named William Joseph.Having said this, William was likely named for his father William Sewell...but Joseph could be the namesake of her father 'Joseph Cameron'.
Do you know what proof exists that indicates, for sure, that this Mary e. is the daughter of William Cameron and Martha Spurlock? From the information that I have found so far....this Mary E. Cameron is the same woman that married William Sewell..Mary is consistant with reporting her place of birth in Illinois in 1850. Bette Sewell Cain, her daughter, is consistant with her report that her mother was a Mary E. Cameron born in 1850 in Illinois. That her father was born in Kentucky.I have looked at the records available and I believe , but I can not prove it. that I am on the right track.
Is it possible thatan assumption from Census reports was made about the parents of this Mary E. Cameron born in 1850 in Illinois.It is very common for this to be picked up by genealogists and passed on as fact. the Census records are not always proof certain. I claim no proof of this observation...just logic.
Thanks for the info.
