I enjoyed your presentation, Thank you for sharing.😊 Tribal raids on each other, cattle rustling (for fun and profit), long-standing feuds, ambushes .... No wonder the Scots and Scots-Irish were considered to be the most successful and fiercest fighters on the early American frontier! The native American also fought in this manner.[1] The English settlers (with the exception of some of those from the borderlands of England/Scotland) knew nothing of this wild, living off the land by hunting/fishing, raiding and farming. 1.) The Spanish soldiers and settlers in the southwestern USA had brought beef cattle and horses to Texas, New Mexico, Nevada and southern California. The local Native Americans in those areas had, eventually made use of the horses. Later European settlers did not encounter these mounted tribes until the mid-1800's The earliest European settlers along the Atlantic coast and in the northeast did not encounter Native Americans who made use of the horse. That area of USA was heavily wooded at the time. In the 1700's Europeans began appearing on their Frontier homesteads with their chickens, cows, hogs, horses, donkeys and mules.
Enjoyed your presentation. I had a hard time understanding you (I guess it's because I'm from Texas) so I had to watch it three times. Still, keep up the good work!!!! (descendant of Clan Cameron)
My late father’s family were sworn to Cameron of Erracht until around 1830, when the line died out. Before that about 20 male relations had chased Napoleon around Europe and Spain during the Peninsular Wars under the leadership of Sir Alan. Likewise, in following his father, about 20 others went off to Culloden and were butchered by Cumberland and his men. Many were summarily executed. Another thing I know is that between the cadet and main branches, there was at times some serious bad blood arising from issues such as the clearances.
Hello Ladies, thanks for doing this! On my mother's side: My Mother Myrtle, 1920-2020, was a direct descendant of of Donald Cameron, Lochiel of the Camerons who emigrated to Nova Scotia with his father Samuel, and his wife & children in the late 1790s aboard the Hector. They started Pitcher's farm at what became Antigonish & subsequent generations of these early pioneers also explored regions in what became Canada. The place in Alberta called Cameron Falls was named by my great grandfather George Cameron. Important: About pronunciation & the meaning of the name 'crooked nose'.....to pronounce crooked properly it sounds like "krookt" not crook-ed, the difference being that pronounced krookt nose, it means bent & hawk-like as a family facial feature, whereas pronounced crook-ed, it sounds dishonest. A sheperd's crook, for example, is a staff with a bend at one end. One can often see the beakish noses of some Scotsmen in the movies. I did not inherit this trait, my nose is very straight, more like a Minoan nose actually, but my eldest son, Cameron, has the high bridge and slightly aquiline nose, a very sophisticated looking nose.
My great Grandfather was William Cameron. Who’s great grandfather was Donald Cameron of Nova Scotia. Granted there were a lot of immigrants to Nova Scotia from Scotland, but it’s hard to knew for sure, but it’s a strong possibility they were so we are related.

Very informative!
I'm descended in part from the clan Cameron. This is very interesting!👍
Thank you!

Try the closed caption option. It won't accurately print all they say; but it will make it easier to follow.

Thank you for sharing your story.
The name makes sense. Macgillonies.
My mother was a Mcilhaney, Clan Cameron 😊
My paternal grandmother was Agnes Cameron (1914 - 1976).
Good to see this
Thank you :)
I have traced my ancestors back to Alexander Cameron around 1630
My name is Cameron, so I guess it's mine and I'm the chief.

What a fascinating family story, thank you for sharing with us Donita!
We are related.
