  Notes	Jessie Silver Fenton, later Cameron, is named Jessie on birth record but was later known as Janet. Her presumed father is Alexander Silver, of Harvieston Farm, Kinneff. He died four months after her birth. This is confirmed by DNA tests on common descendants from Alexander Silver's parents and Jessie Silver Fenton's descendants. Jessie and her mother Jessie Brooks Fenton immigrated to Canada in 1911 on the vessel Hesperian from Glasgow, to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. From there, they travelled to Alberta, Canada. Jessie Brooks Fenton married a man named Hugh Cameron.
