5.	Dona Alberta Cameron - bom on November 21, 1887, and died on November 15, 1974, as found on her headstone in the Hickory Grove cemetery in Pearl River County. She married Joseph B. Lee, lived near Lumberton, Mississippi, and had: Mary R., Earnest J., and Andrew N. This is the lady that gave us much of the information on her father, James
C.	Cameron.
6.	Pearl Bell Cameron - bom December 3, 1890, and died September 10, 1973, as found on her headstone in the Byrd Line cemetery in Pearl River County. She married William “Ross” Reyer, lived in Pearl River County, and had: Mary K., Pascal W., Millie, Harmon L., Eulanae, Cloe C.,
Helen G., Estella, Jim, and Audrey I.
Many of Jesse and Lavina Cameron’s descendants are still living in the counties of southern Mississippi, especially in the Hancock, Pearl River, Harrison, Marion, and Lamar County areas. With this information, anybody related to this family should not have too much trouble tying themselves into what we have compiled. We have some additional information such as dates, stories, etc. about some members of this family if they should be needed.
This paper was originally written in 1973 when resources were hard to find.
Because of this, we concentrated on interviewing older descendants of Jesse Cameron. Today, with the internet, we have access to sources we only dreamed of in 1973. We used much of what we found on Ancestory.com, Familysearch.org, etc. as a “guide,” then followed up with our own research and conclusions as found in this updated paper.
You may have noticed that we have not given complete citations for every piece of information, especially census records. The reason simply being, it would have taken much longer to complete this history. There is enough information here that any “rookie” genealogist can find the specific source if they make even a half-hearted effort.
If anyone thinks this report is “perfect” they will be disappointed. This type of research is much too complex. Some of the above information was supplied by close family members and was often done from “memory.” This is not to mention possible typing errors and mistakes we found in some of the many sources used. Can someone do better than what we have presented - of course, and we welcome anyone who is willing to help. Rest assured, 99 % of the information in this paper is accurate!
In our forty years of researching this family, we have collected many documents to support the information in this paper. Whenever possible we used original sources such as Bible records, census records, church records, etc.
