Scottish involvement in the Texas History - John Cameron's Grant

Sound like you belong there.
Let's not forget the 1st Empresario of Texas though. Stephen F. Austin was of Scottish decent from Clan Keith.
There was a Scot named Cameron in my area too. He bought up the land around the Brazos and started a lumber company.
Later the 'un-timbered' property was donated to the City of Waco and is now the very popular Cameron Park.

Looking at your map, it looks like John had two grants.

If I'm eyeballing it right... it would be in the Big Country, generally west of Abilene

[Cameron of Texas]

Another Cameron, Evan Dhu, came to Texas from Trinity (now Duke) Univ, called to the ministry. He would then go north to Oklahoma Territory to set up and pastor churches and get involved in public education, eventually becoming Oklahoma's first Superintendent of Schools.

Cameron University in Lawton is named for him
