John Cameron of Fassiefern : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Cameron of Fassiefern John Cameron (1771–1815) of Fassiefern, Argyllshire, was a cousin of the Camerons of Lochiel and a celebrated Scottish military commander.〔(''ODNB'' at www.oxfordindex.oup.com )〕 Cameron served as Colonel of the Gordon Highlanders and was killed in action at the Battle of Quatre-Bras.〔(www.napoleon-series.org )〕 The Prince Regent created his father a baronet in 1817 in recognition of Cameron's distinguished military service.〔(www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk )〕 ==Early life== John Cameron, a great-grandson of John Cameron 18th of Lochiel and eldest grandson of John Cameron of Fassiefern (1698-1785), was one of the six children of Sir Ewen Cameron, 1st Baronet, of Fassiefern in the parish of Kilmallie, by his first wife Louisa Campbell of Barcaldine,〔(www.thepeerage.com )〕 and was born in Inverscadale by Loch Linnhe on 16 August 1771. Nursed by the wife of a family retainer whose son, Ewen McMillan, was his foster-brother and faithful attendant through life, young Cameron grew up in close sympathy with the traditions and associations of his home and people, who looked to his father as the representative head of the clan in the enforced absence of the chief of Lochiel. He received his schooling in part at Fort William Grammar School, but chiefly by private tuition, before going to King's College, Aberdeen. Cameron was then articled as a clerk in Edinburgh to James Fraser of Gorthleck, WS.
