Thomas Camp III and Margaret Carney Camp did have a son Larkin, who died in
infancy. The Larkin Camp who was responsible for a ton of other Camps was the
son of Thomas Camp IV and Nancy Anne Tarpley. In succession, there was
Larkin Camp, Sheriff T. Camp, John Thomas Camp, John Wesley Camp, O. B.
Camp and then my wife, Lorice Camp Knight.
Should any of these names ring a bell with anyone, I would appreciate hearing
from you directly at: lknight609(a)aol.com.
Thanks for your kindness.

In response to the query by L Knight (below), I've copied into this
message one of the references to Larkin Camp from Jeannette Holland
Austin's book, "CAMP/CAMPE of England, Virginia, N. C., Georgia, (1630 -
1987), copyrighted 1996. There are several references to Larkin Camp
(see p. 3, 47, 48, 84 and 93), but I think this is what you are looking
for.
I have a copy of Ms. Austin's book on diskette. Although I have not
contacted her (a cousin purchased the diskette and gave it to me), I
recommend that you get in touch with her. According to information on
the diskette she can be reached at 175 Thornton Drive, Fayetteville, GA
30214, (770)719-1754 or e-mail at jha(a)atl.mindspring.com.

Hi-- According to my information, Larkin Camp was a son of Thomas Camp and
Margaret Carney (Thomas'2nd wife). He had NUMEROUS sons by both of his wives.
I would have to dig a little further to tell you more, if anything, I know
about Larkin. Larkin would have been born after 1761.
I am also descended from this Camp line through Thompson Camp, brother of
John Lafayette Camp. Here is my line from John Lay Camp:
John Lay CAMP
Thompson CAMP, Sr.
Thompson CAMP, Jr.
Anna Laura CAMP
William Randolph HARRIS
Dorothy Joanne HARRIS
me
Thompson Camp, Sr. lived in Elyton, Jefferson Co., AL and can be found on the
1850 census for Jefferson Co., as can be his father, John Lay Camp , with
wife Eliza. Thompson Camp, Sr. migrated to Henderson, Rusk Co., TX with his
wife Susan Christian Hardyman (Hall) by 1855. His wife, Susan, died in 1855
in Henderson and is buried there. I would certainly be interested in
comparing notes on our common Camp ancestors.
Steve, In trying to find Clopton on the map (I didn't have any luck
with the map I have). What county is it in?
I did find a town called "Camp Hill" in Tallapossa County which I
thought was real unique. Wonder how it got it's name?
Still wondering, Doris

Many of us are not too familiar with the Counties and small towns in the
state of
Alabama...as I am not. Nonetheless, one of our CAMPs moved to Butler County,
AL from RutherfordCounty, NC and his name was Larkin Camp b 1767. Is
the name Larkin Camp, or his son Sheriff T. Camp is familiar to you, please
let
me know. I've been looking for information on these people for a number of
years.
Thanks,
LKnight
Steve, my great-grandfather, John Lafayette Camp, was born 20 Feb 1828 on a
farm near Birmingham, Alabama. He went to Texas in 1849 and settled in
Gilmer, TX. He was elected Colonel of the 14th Texas Regiment in the Civil
War, and he was severely wounded twice. Camp County in Texas is named in
honor of him.
This is my Camp line:
Thomas Camp (1661-1711) (immigrant from Essex County, England)
Thomas Camp II (1691-1751)
Thomas Camp I (1717-1798)
John Camp (1743-1813)
William Camp (1773)
John Lay Camp (1801)
John Lafayette Camp (1828-1891)
Berry Ward Camp (1861-1947)
Mary Katherine Camp (1910-1970)
Katherine Williamson Arth (1941-)

I am interested in making contact with anyone who has Camp ancestors who
lived (at any time!) in Clopton, Alabama. There were at least two Camp
families there in the mid 1800's with a fair amount of children, but I can't
seem to find any descendants.

I don't know where Clopton, Alabama is but my Aunt
Gertrude married a Camp. I know that the family lived
in Hanceville, Birmingham, Thorsby, and Hayden
Alabama.

Linda (or anyone else who may be able to help me),
I noticed that you have read the Camp-Kemp family
history. Is that the book written by Robert Neville
Mann and Cathrine Cleek Mann? My local library shows
that they have two copies of this book, yet when I
have gone to check on this book the last couple of
months I was told that the book 'must be out for
rebinding or something'...in other words, they can't
find it. Do you know if there's another way to get a
look at this book or where I might buy it?
I'm searching for information on Harriet CAMP b. about
1839 in North Carolina. According to the death
certificate (can't find a birth certificate) for
Charles R. CAMP b. 20 Feb 1857 probably Rutherford NC
d. 23 Mar 1923 Spartanburg Co. SC, Harriet CAMP is his
mother and his father was listed as "D.N.". I'm
assuming from that that Harriet CAMP was not married
at the time she gave birth to 'Charley'. I also have
information which leads me to believe that Harriet was
born a CAMP.
I have been unable to find any info to show me which
Harriet CAMP from North Carolina is the mother to
Charley and so I'm stuck at this point. I do know that
Harriet gave birth to five children, John J. CAMP b.
abt 1854, Charles R. (above), William A. b. 25 Mar
1860 NC d. 31 May 1909 Spartanburg Co. SC, James b.
abt 1865 NC, Mary b. abt 1867 NC, and Maggie b. abt
1872 NC. Also, census records also show that Harriet
may have been married about 1860 to ? JOHNSON - the
1860 US Census for Polk Co, North Carolina shows
Harriet as Harriet JOHNSON with three of her children,
John CAMP, Charles CAMP and William A. JOHNSON in the
Mary CAMP household. However, later census info shows
Harriet as again Harriet CAMP with William's name
listed as William A. CAMP.
Do you, or anyone reading this message, recognize
Harriet CAMP or any of her children? I've been
researching for less than a year, but at this point
I'm not sure how to proceed to find a link from
Harriet the mother of Charley, to Harriet a child...so
I can't figure out how to find Harriet's parents.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for any guidance.

Barbara, Thank you for answering my inquiry. I would appreciate it very
much if you would send me the ancestry information on James Elbert Camp.

Gerald, As always, you start with what you already know. I checked the
Ancestral File
where John Camp was submitted. The information is so sketchy that you must have
another source of information to know that this John Camp is the correct
grandfather.
A family record of some kind, perhaps?
Do you know anything about the Peggy Butler that submitted the info? Since
it was
a 1996 submission, chances are that her address could still be current. You
could start
there.
Have you checked out the USGenWeb site for Tama County, Iowa? It looks
like
there might be something there to help. Work backwards in time when you
research.
Start with the death, obituary and cemetery records. Then go to probate
records,
tax records, and land records. All of these can give you more info. and clues
for
further research. Did John Camp die in Tama County?
Check the 1910, 1900, and 1880 Census records for Tama County for the
family.
Was John Camp a Civil War veteran? Ask at the Tama County Historical Society.
Also, post a query on the site. Someone might know of a connection.
Are you near an LDS Family History Center? Check their SL catalog for film
and fiche records of Tama County. There are lots there to help you in your
research.
I have copies of the John Steel Camp book and the Camp-Kemp Family History
book. When you find out more about John and where he came from, I will be happy
to check these books for more info. on the family. Happy hunting! Linda

James Elbert Camp was a descendant of Edward Camp (1615 England) and Grace
Mott. I do not know if the James Elbert Camp and James E. Kemp in Dale
County, Alabama is the same one or not as I do not have those census records.
If you need any ancestry information on James Elbert Camp, please let me
know.

The coat of arms on my Camp family Association card is gold, blue and
green. Is that what you are talking about? Just thought I would ask or is
that a coat of arms? I am not sure what it is. Nancy

The Camp(e) coat of arms I have is much more elaborate than the one on
the Camp
web site. It is a 15th century style with mantling (piece of cloth)
attached to the helm
lengthened, tasseled, and edge cut into leafy patterns.
The shape of the shield is Victorian. It is described as "Sa. a
chevron between
3 griffins' heads or. Crest-a griffin's head ducally gorged, and holding
in the mouth
a branch of laurel all ppr."
Sa. means sable or black--or. means gold or yellow--ppr. means
proper (of
its natural color--ducal means all of equal height--gorged means
encircled around
the throat--erased means forcibly torn from the body-has its severed
parts jagged.
The motto on mine is Virtus Vera Nobilitas.
Keep in mind that coats of arms were created for a particular
person and used
only by him. If his sons wanted a coat of arms, they had to change it
somehow.
There are several different versions in different branches of the
family.
Basically, the chevron was black, the griffins were gold, or some
were silver,
and the laurel branch would be its natural color. I have no info. on the
background
color of the shield. Hope this is of some help to Margaret, who asked
about it.

Enjoyed your description of the coat of arms you have. You are so fortunate
to know of your CAMP family. We are still in the dark. All we know is
Grandfather's Name was John CAMP. Born 21 DEC 1835 Died in 1914. He married
M.Alavelda Beadle 16 Feb 1862 in Tama County,IO. This week we had a major
breakthru on the BEADLE family back to 1622. We would love to know as much
for the CAMP side. On the IGI records there are no parents listed for him.
Any ideas on how to proceed? Any & all help would be most appreciated.
Thank You,
Gerald & Marjorie
I took the Camp crest off the picture section of the Camp web and as it is in black and white does anyone know the true colors in it? B Farris said she received it in black and white. Think we would all like to know our true colors. Margaret
Hi list, I am searching for any information concerning JAMES ELBERT
CAMP/KEMP.(b 5-2-1819) He was the eldest child of Sextus Camp and Jane
(Crawford) Camp of Jackson Co., Florida. After Sextus death in 1832,
Jane remarried . Her second husband was John Whitehurst and they moved
to Dale Co., AL. Jane & John are both buried in the Lawrenceville
Cemetery, Lawrenceville, AL. Evidently Whitehurst was appointed as
guardian of Sextus's underage children.
I found a James E. Kemp listed on the 1850 Dale CO Census and I am
hoping that this is the same person as James Elbert Camp which would tie
in to my family tree.
Any information will be greatly appreciated. Doris Perkins
