Camerons of Campsie, Stirling, Scotland

[PaulaHowe]

My Gx3 Grandfather was Donald Cameron born about 1824.  He married Susanna McLeod in 1848 in Campsie.   They had 2 sons in Campsie, Donald born 1849 and Duncan 1850 before migrating to Australia in March 1853 on the "Childe Harold" arriving in Geelong, Victoria in June.  In Australia they had one more son James.  I have been told that Donald's mother was Janet but I have found no evidence of this so far.
