Robert Thomas "Tom", was called Dan Tucker for 8 years until he was named, which family members thought was horrid. Mattie and Mollie was accidentally poisoned by arsenic and died with weeks of each other.

He was at Vicksburg, Monta Valley, and near New Orleans in battle, also was in the battle at Corinth. Robert Newton was wounded in the Battle of Decatur.

Original Marriage Certificates for Charles, Robert, and John W. Camron Family records of birth and death along with family testimonies. Several researchers believe the parents of Robert Newton are William and 2nd wife Francis Nolen/Nolan, conclusive proof is yet to be located. Most records (Marriage, Census, Court transactions-from early 1800's until the 1900's), as well as cemetery inscriptions indicate the family name was spelled CAMRON. Some time during the early 1900's the name changed to CAMERON. |
