Jim,
Thank you for the information on the Sarah Elliot that married William
Curtis. Aha! Yes, one of the troubles with names is that so many people
shared the same names...first names, and even given names. There were several
Nicholas Camp(e)s, Thomas Camp(e)s, etc. Probably more than one Sarah
Elliot, too. I have heard that the Camp, Jones, and Related Families book has
errors, but was unsure which "facts" were controversial. Seems like this
marriage of Nicholas Campe and Sarah Elliot is one of those challenged facts.
I also have her parents as Bennet Eliot and Lettice Agger. So this must
be the one that married william Curtis as evidenced by the other sources you
mention. Ok, back to square one on Nicholas Camp's wife. Would it be
possible that William Curtis died and she remarried one Nicholas Camp? Did
she die before her husband William Curtis?
I think you did a good job on the book you made for your mother, Florence
Camp. I enjoy it, even though your Camp line and mine veer off several
generations back.
The father I have for this particular Nicholas Camp is John Camp(e),
christened Feb 1566.I will have to look up that issue of the CT Nutmegger.
Thanks for the tip on that resource.

Hello Everyone,
Sarah Eliot was the daughter of Bennet and Lettice Eliot. Baptized at
Widford, Hertford, England on 13 Jan 1600 at St. John the Baptist parish. She
married William Curtis on 6 Aug 1618 in Nazeing.
Sarah, her husband, their four children and her brother, the Rev. John
Eliot, immigrated to Roxbury in 1631 also aboard the Lyon.
Admitted to Roxbury Church as member # 38 and is documented as "Sarah
Curtis, the wife of William Curits" Buried in Roxbury, MA.
The Curtis Genealogies and the Eliot genealogies have documented these
facts. In fact The Eliot genealogy was published in the last few years in
NEHGS Register; I don't recall the specific issue. So please stop using Sarah
Eliot as the wife of Nicholas Camp.
There is some confusion over the father of this Nicholas Camp. There were
at least three Nicholas Camps who were born and baptized within a few years
of each other in Nazeing, England. John D. Baldwin III wrote an excellent
discussion on this subject for the June 1997 (Volume 30, Number 1, page 63)
issue of "The Connecticut Nutmegger".

Genealogy is not fatal but it can be a grave disease.
