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.

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)
Ayrshire:- Wilson, Donald, Pearson, Milligan, Wallace

Hi bigchese,

Have you visited this site?
www.decorateit.ca/cameron/trees/all_trees.pdf -

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