Notes:

Shirley Brinkley writes that there was "some question whether Thos. Cammack immigrated at 13 yrs. of age accompanying a widowed mother to Horab, SC (Fairfield Co) or TN. One source suggested that Thomas, his widowed mother, older bro. Wm. and twin, James, immigrated to NY in 1797 and journeyed to SC where he stayed with his Uncle David Cammack several years."

Thomas married Isabella Neely about 1810 in Tennessee. Isabella was born about 1786 in Ireland; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Shirley Brinkley instead shows she was born in SC or TN.
