Misc. Notes
Her name was given as Christian CAMERON in the marriage record of her daughter, Jean/Jane. [108] No other records have been found to support this apparent error. For example, no births were found from 1815-1843 in Moulin for surname STEWART with parents named Duncan and Christian.
Research
She may have had an older brother, John CAMERON. See Source[657] [657] on the right-hand page, line 10. Though that might be the John CAMERON born 27-JUN-1802, Blair Atholl, to Finlay CAMERON and Elispet SCOTT, because John & Anne’s first son was named Finlay.
