I (Marty Grant) am not related to Hector Cameron.

After struggling with this family awhile, I finally figured out the problem. Although he is clearly listed as "Hector Campbell" on the 1850 census, this man is actually Hector Cameron.

Hector Cameron was born ca 1797/98 in Marion Dist, SC (per the 1850 census). Since this person isn't a Campbell at all, I'll not go into detail about his family, since I have no interest in the Cameron family.

Hector Cameron was listed on the 1840 census in Marion Dist, SC.

Hector and family were listed on the 1850 census in Marion Dist, SC. I  can't be sure where they were living exactly, but based on some of the neighbors, I think this was in the part of Marion that later became Florence County (in 1888) either in Pee Dee, Cain or McMillan Township.
