IGI has a christening of Peter Cameron 16 Oct 1762, Inverkeithny, Banff, parents William C and Harriet Gordon. Too early if birth date we have for William (1748) is right (William would be 14 at Peter’s birth!). But even the 1764 birth date for Peter (from 1841 census and death age), would make William only 16 if he was born in 1848.

IGI also has birth of Peter C 6 Oct 1777 Duthill with Rothiemurchus, Invernesshire, father William, mother Elspet Gordon.

Scotlandspeople has no Peter Cameron born in relevent period in Banff.

But, as I am obliged to be out of town on that day, permit me in this manner to request that you will consider me as an enrolled person and willing at all times to promote and inforce by every means in my power the salutary objects contained in those resolutions, according to their true spirit and common meaning.’
