Lora,
I haven't heard of them being "tried" for treason. But it stands to reason
that they may well have been, by the "British" rule of the time. John Camp
&
his father Thomas, as well as many of Thomas' other sons were patriots of
the American Revolution. Thomas was much to old to fight but it was said
that he and his wife of the time, Margaret Carney gave supplies and rendered
aid to the patriots of the revolution. There is a story circulating that
Thomas Camp's home and grist mill in Rutherford were burned by the British
Army for these acts.
John Camp was a Lieutenant if the Continental Army and he and several of his
brothers and other relatives, fought in the Battle of King's Mountain. A key
battle in the victory of the war.
Here is an excelent website about this family

This is very interesting. Who was the father of this John Camp?
Does anyone know anything about John Camp, b 13 Oct 1743 and his father
Thomas Camp, b 8 Feb 1717 being tried for treason?
Thanks,
Lora
