William M. Cameron was married a third time to Myra Williamson who was previously married to a Pierce. William and Myra had no children.
M. James C. “Jim” Cameron - bom in 1853 as found in the 1860 Marion County census living with his parents. He was bom in December 1853 as he is listed in the Pearl River County, Mississippi census of 1900. Much of the following was told to us by one of his daughters in 1972, Dona Cameron (Mrs. Joseph Lee), bom in 1887, and living near Lumberton, Mississippi. She had an excellent memory and told us her father was James Calvin Cameron, a brother to Samantha Cameron, and son of Jesse Cameron who lived in Marion County. Her father married Mary Jane Raybum, had 6 children, and the family lived in northern Pearl River County. This is confirmed by the Marion County marriage record that has “J. C. Cameron and Mary Raybum married on June 23, 1879.” Dona said she was only about 15 at the time of her father’s death, which would be approximately 1902. James Cameron shows up for the last time in the 1900 census of Pearl River County, thus Dona is probably correct about his death date. James is buried in an unmarked grave in the Byrd Line cemetery in Pearl River County, next to his wife’s headstone. James C. and Mary J. Cameron had:
