Biography
James Cameron was born in 1758, son of John Canaday Cameron (1741 - 1792) and Margaret (Jones) Cameron (~1741 - 1792).
James (~26) married Charity Ann Spangler (27) (born in Pennsylvania on 17 Mar 1757; died in Wolf Creek, Tazewell, Wythe, Virginia on 29 Apr 1855), daughter of Peter Spengler and Mary Margaret Moser, on 20 Jul 1784 in Thompson Valley, Wythe County, Virginia.
At some point, the family moved to Floyd County, Kentucky.
