I have Marshalls in my family too but not on my camp line. Here are my
Marshalls/ I keep wondering if I am relted to Penny Marshall lol. That would
be cool.
Emma Viola Marshall born b.ABT 1863 to William Jefferson Marshall & Elizabeth
Roberts-Ward.
I have tried without success to find my g,g, grandfather.
My g, grandfather was Manassa Camp who was supposed to have been born in NJ
in 1817 and soon after his birth the family relocated to Montgomery County,
IL. where he grew up and married Elizabeth Mary Polly Williams d/o Thomas
and Celia Williams, both born in SC. They were the parents of George,
Lorana, James, my g, grandfather William Anderson, Elva Marshall Camp, and
Edward Camp
The name "Marshall" crops up several times in the family tree and it is said
that it originated when the g, grandmother of John Marshall, the first
Supreme Court Justice, married a Camp.
Also the name "Berry" is found in family history.
Lorana Eveline Camp married Lowery Logan Berry in 1896. He was b. April 25,
1871 in Gentry County MO., and d. November 29, 1911 in Elmore County, Idaho
, he was son of James Berry and Eleanor Grantham.
Any help from someone in finding the name of Manassa's father would be
greatly appreciated, Linda. Perhaps we are entangled in the same web of
genealogical intrique

There are only 95 Camp surnames on this database; however, none is found in
Barbara's db.There are probably several of us who have db files out there.
Barbara by far has the largest with more than eight thousand names.
Now this is not my cup of tea as far as merging PAF files and converting to dbs.
So I would suggest that someone who knows what they are doing build a master db
containing the information that is already on the web but not centralized. Of
course, one would have to give their permission and send a PAF file to the db
administrator for merge and conversion and posting. I would certainly send mine
and even clean up some duplications. I was a little careless with notes and
sometimes they are repeated..etc. But all the info is well documented to Rev.
Elias A. Camp. Beyond that there is only an obituary claiming Elias was the son
of James Camp b. 1740 in N.C. and claiming James to be a Revolutionary War
veteran. Most of the names refer to NC to Northern Georgia CAMPS. Through family
tradition I understand that some earlier Camps gained DAR and SAR memberships
through James and Sons and Daughers of the Confederacy through Elias. Would love
to be able to make a better tie and be able to document this. All help is
appreciated.
Any volunteers for Camp Data Base Administrator?
And, sorry but my son has been tying up my computer every early evening this
week. I will try to post the latest photos I have received tomorrow night.

Perhaps with a little research ... the administrator of the page could be
identified. This person would no doubt be very interested in the problems
that have cropped up so that they could be eliminated and in the long run
make the site as a whole more valuable. As an extensively experienced
computer programmer i believe if it "my baby" I would want to know .... so I
could work on it, // thats what we do.
Please take the time to make sure that the person who maintains the page
knows there is a glitch .... i am almost certain he will enjoy the challenge
of fixing it.

Elaine, thank you for a very interesting posting, and the reference to the
web site which has the information on the Smith/Camp family relationships.
There were a DAVID SMITH and a THOMAS LINDLEY listed on both the Lebanon
Church DAR marker and on the roster given by Sara Sullivan Ervin for the
Sullivan Scouts militia group. Given the later marriage between a son of the
DAVID SMITH family you wrote about and the daughter of THOMAS CAMP and
SUSANNA WAGGONER, I wonder if the DAVID SMITHS could be the same individual
and if the THOMAS LINDLEY could be a relative of the REBECCA LINDLEY,
daughter of JAMES LINDLEY, the Tory. Does anyone know? sometimes there were
split loyalties, even within the same family, but your point is well taken!

David Smith and Rebecca Lindley
David Smith, Revolutionary War Soldier of Abbeville , Long Cane area of Old
Ninety Six District South Carolina , born between 1753 and 1755 ; died 27
March 1833 at his home in Walton County Georgia where he is buried in the
Smith Family Cemetery at his farm on Hog Mountain Road Route 53 near Winder,
Walton County now Barrow County Georgia. David Smith married in March 1782
Rebecca Lindley, born 9 August 1762, in Ninety Six district, South Carolina.
She was the daughter of James and Mary Cox Lindley. James Lindley was a Tory
who was hanged in Pendleton District after being caught by the Whigs in
Georgia at the Battle of Kettle Creek.
c. Arnold Smith , born 10 June 1811, died 7 April 1890, married (1) Frances
Elizabeth (Eliza) Thompson , born 28 January 1816 , died 29 May 1855,
daughter of David and Patience Drucilla Camp Thompson. He married (2) on 16
Oct. 1860 Gwinnett County, Georgia, Frances A. Johnson who was born 31 July
1827 and died 20 May 1906 all are buried at Green Acres , Thompson Bridge
Road, Barrow Co. Georgia..
5. Job Smith b.15 Feb 1793 m. Nancy Camp , daughter of Thomas Camp and Susan
Waggoner. (More later)
~~~~~~~~
2. Job Smith was born 15 February 1793 in South Carolina and married 10
August 1817 in Jackson County, Georgia, Nancy Camp, born 7 March 1795, the
daughter of Thomas and Susan Wagner Camp from Spartanburg Co., South
Carolina. Job Smith was very prominent in Walton County, being named along
with Samuel Whaley and others as the second grand Jury of the County. He was
also an early Clerk of Court. In 1836 and 1838 he bought over 800 acres of
land from Samuel Whaley which included the grist mill on Marbury Creek.
.When Job died in 1840, his widow, Nancy Camp Smith , and son-in-law, David
Thompson were made administrators. He had quite a large estate in slaves and
personal property as well as land. Pages from the family Bible of Job Smith
are part of the Revolutionary War pension file w.6082 of Rebecca Smith, and
it said to be in his handwriting. Both Job and Nancy are buried at the David
Smith farm near Winder, Georgia. In the Camp book , it is stated that
Susannah Waggoner Camp, Nancy's mother, is buried at Job Smiths home. In
another paper called "Another Stroll ", it is said that her father , Thomas
Camp , is buried in a lone grave along Marbury Creek. In 1850 census Nancy
Camp.
Children of Job Smith and Nancy Camp Smith (goes on to list those).
Also has RAGSDALEs mentioned in article. My guess is they may be desc. from
ARNOLD family also, with one given name as that.
2. Green Wagner Smith , born 27 May 1820, died 27 March 1893; married on 4
November 1840 Walton County, Georgia, Mary Ann (Polly) Arnold born 5 May
1814; died 5 May 1901, the daughter of Stephen and Camma Camp Arnold. Camma
Camp was the daughter of Nathan Camp. Green W. and Mary A. Smith are found
on the 1850 census Walton county Georgia along with four of their children.

If I remember right, this portion of Oddballz is in error. There was some
info about Mary FISH on this site a while back that would be in the archives
if you did a search for her.
I think that Barbara Farris has the info on her site and it's probably
right. It's also in her db on Rootsweb WorldConnect, I think.
I wouldn't be the one to ask. I've only known about my CAMP connection for
about 15 months. I haven't done much research except to find what I can on
the net, such as the Douglas Co., GA Marriage Books.
My db is in WorldConnect also, though, if you'd like to look. It's
Blackman - Farmer.
Thanks for acting like I might know something.

Virginia, I cannot really give you a good history of the CAMP/KEMP names, but
I can tell you that in earlier centuries the spelling of names was not nearly
so fixed as it is today. People who could write usually spelled names (and
other words) the way they sounded to them. This, of course, led to many
variant spellings of names. Sometimes a name would even be spelled two or
three different ways in the same document.
When you do research you have to consider all the possible variant spellings
of the names you're looking for. For example, I have found the name PARNELL
spelled as PERNAL, POURNEL, PURNAL, etc. Sometimes the spellings of names
changed as they were anglicized from other languages. For example, the
German name VOLMAR became VOLLMER, FOLLMER, FULMORE, FULMER, etc.
While the names CAMP and KEMP are two separate names today with their own
fixed spellings, in earlier centuries they were usually considered to be the
same name and were simply spelled differently depending on the fancy of the
person who was writing the document.

Elaine,
I went to the oddballz site and found my ancestor
"8 Starling Camp b. 22 Oct. 1793 d. 2 Apr. 1830 m. 24 May 1822 to Mary Fish
9 Nathan Camp
9 James Berry Camp".
The problem is that just above him is listed
"8 Mary Camp b. 20 Aug 1805 m. 6 Feb 1838 William Jarrell
9 Nathan Camp
9 James Berry Camp."
Did Starling actually have a sister named Mary? The information shown
above is correct for Mary FISH who married Starling CAMP and following his
death married William JARRELL. If there were a Mary CAMP who married
William JARRELL, their children would have been JARRELL's not CAMP's. In
addition to Nathan and James Berry CAMP, Starling and Mary had Eveline CAMP
who married John Beacham McRIGHT and Claricy CAMP. Mary FISH CAMP married
William JARRELL and had Willis F. JARRELL and Thomas JARRELL.
I have never been able to verify any further back on my line that
Starling CAMP who married Mary "Polly" FISH. I believe some of the
information has gotten confused and I would like to be able to sort it out.

Mike,
I don't know what caused the problem you had. I have sent several photos and
information to the Virtual Cemetery without problem. Each page allows you to
include information about the person's birth & death dates & locations,
cemetery location & spouse. There is also a link to the person's e-mail
address who submitted the photo if someone should want more information.
What I like about this location is that I can submit photos of more than one
family name and easily do searches of the information. Unfortunately, it
hasn't been around long or used much yet. I think it would be a great
resource if used. If you do a search for "Camp" you can see all the photos I
submitted for my line.

I have been a member of several organizations all devoted to family search
and research. As you can imagine, a lot of mail can be accumulated. I
would like to suggest that personal mail sent to one individual be sent to
that specific person and not to all the other subscribers. When mail is
sent to one person, I feel like an eavesdropper when I scan their private
communiqués.
Thad Greer--Dodd L Greer--Lacy Greer--Catherine Ellen Camp Greer--Williams
Washington Camp etc.
Does anyone know if there are rules that apply to that? I posted some on
that site a few times and they are not there? I did not see any help
options on that page. I know they went through because I viewed them and
later they were not there. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
