Cameron gravestones DARVEL

[bigcheese]

BAC does anyone have listings of CAMERONS pre 1899 from Darvel churchyard ?

ta much

[Agnes14]

In the pre 1855 book of inscriptions, there's 2 Cameron memorial stones in Newmilns Churchyard but none in Darvel.  The names mentioned are Janet Cameron d 20.9.1815 a 55y (h Wm Gilchrist) and Jas Cameron 1799-1893, former magistrate.

thx for that - must go to the BM to check that book out. Thought there would be more as the camerons farmed in loudounhill since 1630 odd

[Agnes14]

Many gravestones could be missing through natural erosion, vandalism and the government's latest scheme to topple unstable gravestones - there could also be burials in Strathaven, or Drumclog, depends where at Loudounhill they farmed.

You may already have a note, but in the list of Covenanters in the Galston parish who signed the National Covenant in 1639, there are the following Camerons:-
William Camerone  (no address given)
Wm Camronne in Molmont
John Camronne in Burnhouse
Wm Cameronne in Molmont  (could be a 2nd Wm in Molmont)

have you come across the place or person name "Pischinheuch" BTW ?

[Agnes14]

Can you be a bit more precise - where did that name come from?

Hi bigchese,

Have you visited this site?

Not much help with regard to the origin of Pischineuch, but it does contain several Cameron families.
