From the above census records one would assume *Joseph Cameron
and his wife, *Susannah,
had two children living at home in 1850 David,
19 years old and *Jane, 16 years old.
Both the mother and children were
born in Tennessee.
The Camerons traveled by ox team to Saline County, Missouri
in 1852.
*Jane did not make the trip at this time as she had married *Andrew
J. Pruitt,
and they, with two sons, made the journey at a later date.
The
1830 (Tennessee) census records, under the head of Joseph Cameron,
lists
family members but no names.
One male, among others, 100 years plus went with
them to Missouri.
Whether he was a father, uncle, or just a friend is not stated.
An
old family story says Howard Cameron drove an ox team from
Tennessee to
Missouri at the age of 100.
When 107 he was thrown from his horse and broke his
leg.
He lived three more years in a wheel chair and passed away when 110 years
and 8 days old.
It's possible that this story applies to the older man living
in the Cameron household as the last
census record for *Joseph Howard Cameron
lists his age as 93 years and that he lived in Saline.

CAMERON,
Joseph $46
I have located a Joseph Cameron age 93 b. VA and a Susan Cameron
age 65 b.
TN in the 1860 Saline County, MO census. They are living in the household
of
T.H. Cameron, age 38 b. Tenn and Nancy Cameron, age 36 b. MO and their
children.
I located this same family in the 1850 census listed as Tellman
A. H. Cameron,
however, Joseph and Susan were not in the household. In the
Saline County, MO
marriage records there is a Howard Cameron that married
Nancy Thornton on November
7, 1844 which could be the T H and Nancy of this household.

I
do not have anything on pre Joseph. Well except for the following which
came
from Perry Gross, a researcher on the Thornton line in Saline County
which is
pretty vague:
"The Camerons were associated with the Thornton's in SC during
the
Revolutionary War and both families were more than likely Loyalists and
definitely
served in the British Army during the revolution. John Thornton
had a son named
Daniel and one of his daughters married a son of Alexander
Cameron of SC. Alexander
Cameron left SC with John and Thomas Thornton in
abt. 1785. They went to Halifax,
Nova Scotia Canada and then on to New
Brunswick,Canada at St. John. They then
came back apparently to SC as John
wife Mary had a son Daniel born in Charleston,
SC in March 1788. Alexander
took an oath of Allegiance to the United States in
May of 1788. The
families then apparently moved to eastern TN. And from there
moved to
Saline county, MO.
I have seen one of the Cameron bibles dating from
1835 and it is still in
Saline county, MO."

I
visited Marshall and there was not a trace of Joseph in the Probate or
Cemetery
records. I did find a family group sheet on Tillman A. Howard
Cameron which
was compiled by the Saline County Genealogical Society. It
indicates his mother
as Susannah Lowrey and father as Joseph Cameron. You
will recall Joseph and
Susan were in his household in the 1860 census.
There was also a sheet on John
Cameron and wife Mary Clark which indicates
they did not emigrate until 1872.
Birthdays:
Tilliman
10/14/1822
John 1/29/1819
Mary Clark 2/14/1817
All born in Tenn all could
be siblings.
