Child of MARTHA CAMERON and DANIEL MORRISON is:
	i.	CAMERON5 MORRISON, b. October 05, 1869, Rockingham, Richmond County, NC; d. August 20, 1953, 
	Quebec, Canada.

Notes for CAMERON MORRISON:
Cameron A. Morrison was a Senator and a Representative from North Carolina; born near Rockingham, 
Richmond County, N.C., attended private schools at Ellerbe Springs, N.C., and at Rockingham; studied 
law; admitted to the bar in 1892 and commenced practice in Rockingham; mayor of Rockingham 1893; 
presidential elector at large in 1916; moved to Charlotte, N.C., and continued the practice of law; 
Governor of North Carolina 1921-1925. 

"Cousin Cam" Morrison, besides serving as governor, was a United States Senator in 1931 and 1932, 
having been appointed to fill a vacancy.  A decade later he was elected as a U.S. Representative 
and served in the House from 1943 to 1945. In his later years, sporting a flowing mane of snow-white 
hair and wearing a white suit and hat, he looked every inch the senator.  All of us in the family 
know the story of his marriage to the widow Watts and his becoming the squire of Morrowcroft outside 
Charlotte, the farm that later became just about the priciest suburban land in North Carolina.

An interesting (to me) sidelight.  Cousin Cam's Republican opponent in the 1920 gubernatorial election 
was John J. Parker, who in 1930 while serving on the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, was appointed 
by President Hoover to the Supreme Court.  But the Senate refused to confirm him after bitter opposition 
by, among others, labor unions and the NAACP.  Apparently, some racist remarks he'd made in the 1920 
gubernatorial contest came back to haunt him.  Parker ultimately became chief judge of the Fourth Circuit 
and had a long, distinguished judicial career.  Source: Jim Connah  Apr 11, 2008

law in Rockingham with his first cousin, Cameron Morrison. Paul C. Whitlock, and his cousin "Cam" 
moved their law practice in the early 1900s to Charlotte, where they both prospered. Cameron Morrison 
ran successfully for governor of North Carolina. His cousin, Paul C. Whitlock, was his campaign manager 
and was also the mayor of the short-lived town of Myers Park, NC. In the late 1950s, portions of P.C.
