Duncan Cameron, Barre VT, early 1800s

Duncan Cameron is listed in the 1800 census of Barre, in then Orange Co. Vt. I believe him to be the father of Martha Cameron who was the wife of Joseph Drury of Barre. I have found the graves of Joseph and Martha Drury in the Elmwood Cemetery, but I cannot seem to locate any reference to the death or burial of Duncan Cameron. He seems to have disappeared from the censuses by the 1810, so I am jumping to the conclusion that he must have died by then.

The only actual connection I have found between Joseph Drury and Duncan Cameron was in a land record between the two of them in 1802..which actually seemed to be Duncan lending Joseph $500 and Joseph using his land for collateral. There was no mention of the relationship between them, ie. father-in-law and son-in-law.

I would love to get some details about Duncan himself...his dates, where he was from, spouse's maiden name, etc. It appears that they all were in Fitzwilliam, NH at one time. Duncan is on the 1790 census there, and Joseph Drury was born there in 1777, and his and Martha's first child was born there. Martha's death record in the Barre City Clerk's office indicates that she was also born in Fitzwilliam, NH in 1776 to Duncan and Phebe Cameron. Any help out there? Thanks in advance for any clues or info.
