Notes - According to Records of the Clan and Name of Fergusson, Ferguson, and Fergus. (Edited for The Clan Fergus(s)on Society by James Ferguson and Robert Menzies Fergusson by David Douglas, 10 Castle Street, Edinburgh, 1899.) Helen Ferguson and her siblings were born at Kipp in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, but later resided at Glenbeich on the northwest shore of Lochearn.
According to Cameron family records, Catherine Stewart, daughter of Donald Stewart and Isobel McGregor, married Duncan Cameron, and were the parents of John Cameron who married Helen Ferguson of Kipp, Balquhidder, and had nine children born at Glenbeich, Balquhidder. Documentary evidence is lacking to support the Cameron/Stewart connection, however the claim seems probably true. The Stewarts were from Dalveich, next door to Glenbeich, and multiple autosomal DNA connections exist between descendants of the Camerons and this Dalveich line. The Camerons immigrated to Canada in 1831. Research has eliminated the possibility of a marital connection between these families post-immigration, thus the connection must earlier than John Cameron and Helen Ferguson. Thus the connection suggested here, though not proven, becomes more than plausible, in fact probable.
After the death of her husband, Helen (Eleanor), lived with her son John and his family. She is found residing with them in 1851 and 1861.
