Mathias and his first wife, Premilla Cameron Green, had 12 children. Much more on Premilla Cameron and her family can be found in our research paper titled “Mathias (Lundgren) Green Family.”
B.	Elizabeth Mary “Betsy” Cameron - she first married Henry Deschamp (he was bom 1814) and she is listed in the 1850 census of Hancock County as being 23 years old (1827) and bom in Mississippi. The household listed her husband and children: Harriet, age 6; Vina, age 5; Elizabeth, age 2; and Bernard, age 1. She was baptized on April 26, 1866, at age 45 (1821 - age probably listed wrong) as found at Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church (Baptism Book 1, page 155). This church record names both of her parents. In the New Orleans death records, we find “Henry Benard Deschamps” bom around 1828 and died on May 21, 1863 in New Orleans, Louisiana. While his birth year seems to be about 14 years off according to this record, we feel he was the husband of this Elizabeth Cameron. Henry possibly left her, then she married John Basile Ladner in Hancock County on April 27, 1854,
(record is in Court House). On April 26, 1866, they were married at Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church in Bay St. Louis (after Henry died in 1863). The record in Marriage Book I, page 55/313, identifies his parents as “Basile Ladner and Heline Morin” and her parents as “Jesse Camon and Malvina Stanford.”
We were told by attorney Cornelius Ladner, now deceased, of Bay St. Louis, and a descendant of this marriage, that Elizabeth and Basile Ladner had: John T., John M., Delmas, Mary “Tot”, Rosalie,
Victoria, Felicity, Emily, Ellen, Josephine and a several more.
Charles E. Reyer, a grandson of the below Malvina Deschamp, told us the same story at his home near Baxterville, Mississippi.
Mr. George O. Cameron, an elderly descendant of Elizabeth “Betsy” Cameron, previously identified, said that Elizabeth first married Henry Deschamp and had at least 5 children:
1.	Harriet Deschamp - the 1850 census of Hancock County lists this child in the family as bom in 1844, but George, nor anyone else remembers
her - she probably died as a child.
2.	Malvina “Vina” Deschamp - she was bom in 1845 as found in the 1850 census. She married Christopher C. Reyer on May 12, 1862, in Hancock County, and they lived and died in Pearl River County, Mississippi. This is George Cameron’s grandparents. They had: Henry L., John L., James
D., Christopher C., Jr., William “Ross”, Tabitha M. (George Cameron’s mother), Mary Ann, Elzady “Zady”, and 4 others that died as infants. These infants are buried in Rotten Bayou cemetery in Hancock County. Some of these children were baptized at Our Lady of the Gulf Church. Chris and Ross married two of their cousins - daughters of James C. Cameron.
