\Cam`e*ro"ni*an\, n.
A follower of the Rev. Richard Cameron, a Scotch Covenanter
of the time of Charles II.
Note: Cameron and others refused to accept the ``indulgence``
      offered the Presbyterian clergy, insisted on the Solemn
      league and Covenant, and in 1680 declared Charles II.
      deposed for tyranny, breach of faith, etc. Cameron was
      killed at the battle of Airdmoss, but his followers
      became a denomination (afterwards called Reformed
      Presbyterians) who refused to recognize laws or
      institutions which they believed contrary to the
      kingdom of Christ, but who now avail themselves of
      political rights.
