Dear List,
I photocopied this information from a file of loose papers at the Jackson
County Historical Library in Jefferson. There was a note at the end of
the page that stated: "Reference: Family Bible, Family Tradition
National Bd. of Mgr. of DAR, number 39400"
Now, whose family Bible and what of the notation of the DAR?
This is the text on the page:
"Just prior to 1717 six young men, Thomas Camp; two younger brothers
from England and their cousins, Samuel, Edmond and John DeCobbs from
Wales landed at Charleston SC and went on foot throught the Carolinas
into Virginia. Thomas Camp, Edmond and John DeCobbs settled in
Halifax and Bedford Counties Virginia, the others going farther north.
Thomas Camp, the emigrant, born 1691, married a Miss Marshall of
Virginia and had three sons, born Feb. 8, 1717, John and Marshall. The
last two were officers of the Revolution in Va. Thomas removed to Ireland
Ford (?), Rutherford County, NC, soon after the death of his first wife.
There
he married Margaret Corney, a very capable Irish woman. Both of them
are buried in the burying ground of the ole homestead, which is still owned
by the family. Thomas Camp was too old for active military service, but
for the aid he gave the colonies, his home was pillaged by the British. He
had five sons in the battle of King's Mountain. According to family
tradition,
Nathaniel was a participant. A few days after the battle, Nathaniel with
several relatives and friends, was wlaking over the battlefield and found a
silver mounted conch shell. All the men tried to blow it with indifferent
success.
Because Hosea, the little son of Nathaniel succeeded, it was given to him
and is
still in possession of his decendants. This conch shell was the property of
Col. Ferguson, the British commander and was used by him for signal work
with his troops."
I have tried to type the paper exactly as it was typed previously. The name
of the first son of John and "Miss Marshall" was not listed, just John and
Marshall.
What do ya'll make of this? Is this why we haven't been able to find
records
of the ocean crossing of any of our ancestors?
Trying to stir the pot,
Carole
Thank you I will check it out and correct.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to the expenses I incur maintaining the Camp Web Site and due to the
evergrowing size of the Camp Web Site, I have made the decision to move the
Camp Web Pages to Rootsweb. I am leaving a forward at the clipper.net site
so next time you go to the site, please note the url and change your
bookmarks accordingly. The new url is:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~genlady
The only negative I can see is we do have to put up with banner ads, but that
shouldn't bother most people.
If you have any problems with any of the pages, please let me know right away
so I can fix it. Hopefully this will be a smooth transition for all of you.

As far as we know there is no indian blood in either line of Sherwood Camp
nor Lydia Kennedy. Lydia's father was Edmund Kennedy and according to Kennedy
tradition was from Ireland. Another tradition was her mother was a "Lusk" but
we know nothing about her. Sherwood's line is well known and no indication of
mixed blood.

Hello List,
I am looking for a Steve Camp, Jr. born 1891 in Georgia or
Alabama. He married Eula Mae Vesta Kirby. He died in 1943 and is buried at
Big Springs Baptist Church Cemetery in Randolph County, Alabama. Eula Mae
Vesta died in 1981 and is also buried in the same cemetery. This is from my
husbands family. I am a member of the Camp family through my father>James
Nathan Parnell> Sarah Melvina Camp>John Clark Camp>Joseph Camp & Elizabeth
Camp>Benjamin Camp & Thomas Camp IV> Thomas Camp III & John Camp & Thomas
Camp III> Thomas Camp II> and on back.
My main concern is this Steve Camp. Do any of you know
this family? Steve Camp, Jr. had five children: Christine, Tommy, James
Wilson, Ruth, and Martha.

I am hunting for Charles Brooks Camp my great grandfather. The family does have very much information about him. he was born 12-21-1858 and died 1-17-1899. I know he is buried in Denton cemetery Cleveland Country Ok. He was married to Sarah Elizabeth Millsaps. We first found him age 21 in the 1880 census Van Buren Co AR working on the Millsaps farm. He married Sarah soon after.
I had a chance to look at the census reports last week so I checked the 1870 reports. Did not find much.
We found a Charles Camp age 12 living with Henry Vanderfill ? Johnson County Iowa.
We found a Charles Camp age 11 living with a George Camp in Jackson County AR.
Does anyone have any information they can share about either of the Charles Camps ??

George Henry Camp was born about 1870"s.
Please let me know if anyone has any inforamtion on these people.
Thanks,

The Camp's and Youngs are from Northeastern PA, USA. Sorry I forgot to add

With reference to past discussions here, and to queries/submissions printed
in the Camp Bulletin over a number of years, about the DAR closing
membership admissions based on Revolutionary War service of John Camp; John
Camp, Jr.; et al, the following is offered to "stir the pot" again. At a
recent meeting of the Genealogical Society of Henry and Clayton Counties
(GA), the featured speaker was a professional genealogist who has written a
column on genealogy for the Atlanta newspapers for about 25 years. He
commented that many families have sought his help in resolving just such
conflicts with the DAR over rejection of an ancestor after years of
acceptance of their status as a Patriot.
A primary tool used by him in "proving" the "good standing" as a Patriot of
his clients' ancestors is the American Revolution Pension Payment Records
kept in the National Archives. The emphasis here is on "payment" records.
He said that even militia fighters were eventually declared eligible for
pensions, and that a Patriot in good standing could receive payment by
making application annually at the local courthouse. Acceptance by his
neighbors/family as being in good standing as a Patriot would be an
essential ingredient in approving the application.
Annual application records were maintained at the courthouse and didn't
always make it to the National Archives, etc.; but the actual federal
government "payment" records can usually be located if the veteran was
approved and received payments. He indicated that other interesting facts
could be found in these records, such as who signed for the final payment,
birth date, birthplace, heirs, etc., and that rejected pensions were
included. These records may or may not be indexed.
Does anyone on the list know if this avenue has been tried with respect to
the Camp men rejected by the DAR??

I recieved the following from a friend:
Dog Tags Found In Viet Nam
On a recent "Today Show" there was a story about two men who went
to Hanoi on a business trip. The men encountered a guy selling old GI
dog tags from US servicemen who were killed during the Viet Nam War.
They were disgusted by the thought of this man profiting from the sale
of these tags. Upon returning to the U.S., they decided to go back to
Viet Nam and purchase ALL the dog tags. They did so, paying 19 cents
per tag! They brought home several hundred tags. The plan is to return
the tags to surviving family members, when they can find them. The
process has already begun with one set being turned over to a grieving
Mom on July 4th, (coincidentally, it was on her birthday)!
These two men have set up a website, "http://www.founddogtags.com"
listing the names of all those whose tags they purchased.
If you lost friends, family, or know of someone who lost a loved one
in Viet Nam, I suggest you check out this website. If you recognize a
name, there's an e-mail address to contact these two men and to help
in their efforts to return the dogtag to it's rightful survivor. I'm
sure a family member would be eternally grateful to have such an
important
item returned. Please help by checking this website. And please send
the website address to everyone you know. The more people who
see the lists, the greater the chance of returning ALL the tags to those
who lost loved ones in Viet Nam!
