Ann Cameron
17?? - 1???
 
Ann was Calum's and Jamie's great great great great grandmother.
 
On May 21st 1772, Ann, described as being from the parish of Ruthven, married James MacGillivray, from Dunchea, Inverness-shire. The wedding took place in Ruthven. From the research done by Jane MacGillivray on her Operation Dunlichity site, it appears that the couple had three children at least.
 
After their marriage, the couple moved to a neighbouring farm called Bochruben, situated about a mile west of Dunchea, and which still exists today as a farm. James, a former shoemaker, was later noted as working as a farm manager and also as a weaver in his lifetime.
