Research Notes

• Red Books of Scotland has an index on the surname Cameron of Glendessary (Vol. 2), and also Cameron of Dungallon, but that has not yet been accessed.
• Death location is based upon the filed records cited: National Records of Scotland, Argyll Commissary Court, Inventory of John Cameron of Glendessary in Morven parish of Killantoig.

First Wife Janet Maclean; second wife, Marjorie Campbell.

• This is a conflation with a different John Cameron who married Cathrine Nckeller:

Johne Archibald Camrone 2nd Lord of Glendessary Dungallon married Cathrine Nckeller 4 Feb 1660 in Inveraray and Glenaray, Argyll, Scotland First Wife Janet Maclean third Marjorie Campbell. Name: John Cameron Gender: Male Marriage Date: 04 Feb 1660 Marriage Place: Inveraray and Glenaray, Argyll, Scotland Spouse: Kathrine Nckeller FHL Film Number: 1041008 Save Name: Heugh Camerone Gender: Male Baptism Date: 19 Mar 1671 Baptism Place: Inveraray and Glenaray ,Argyll, Scotland Father: Johne Camerone Mother: Katherine Nckeller

• The below described son was not John Cameron, 2nd of Glendessary Dungallon's son, but a different John Cameron, husband of Cathrine Nckeller's:

Johne Archibald Camrone 2nd Lord of Glendessary Dungallon married Cathrine Nckeller 4 Feb 1660 in Inveraray and Glenaray, Argyll, Scotland Name: John Cameron Gender: Male Marriage Date: 04 Feb 1660 Marriage Place: Inveraray and Glenaray, Argyll, Scotland Spouse: Kathrine Nckeller FHL Film Number: 1041008 Save Name: Heugh Camerone Gender: Male Baptism Date: 19 Mar 1671 Baptism Place: Inveraray and Glenaray ,Argyll, Scotland Father: Johne Camerone Mother: Katherine Nckeller

• The previous death information was conflated with the estate inventory and cure dates. Though the documentation is copied from a source, it is able to be reproduced in the images described in the Red Book of Scotland,^[4] and also attached at: 1697 Cameron, John (Wills and testaments Reference CC2/5/4.

• The John Cameron who married Kathrine Nckeller (who also has a duplicate) is a different John Cameron (profile to be built). The John (Cameron) Cameron IInd of Glendessary (bef.1646-abt.1695) of this present profile only had two marriages, which are described with cited sources on the profile to be unduplicated.

• None of the source citations show a middle name of Archibald, nor the spelling Johne.
• Citations unable to be reproduced and also without clarity on identifying the correct John Cameron (note that above, one or two FHL Film Numbers may lead to a direct citation, but need examination to determine if they square with the Red Book of Scotland, which is considered seminal genealogy on the correct identification of John Cameron 2nd of Glendessary (see also profile to be de-duplicated: John (Cameron) Cameron IInd of Glendessary (bef.1646-abt.1695) for additional source citations:
