Check on Claudius CAMP to see how many children he had. It really seems
like John Jackson CAMP was his son, or at least he's in that family line.
This would make him the brother of Alford / Alfred Banks CAMP, being
mentioned so much here. :-)
BTW, John Jackson CAMP married Mary Ann SHARPE in Chambers Co., AL on 04 Nov
1860. She would probably have been the stepmother of William Anderson CAMP.
I think that John Jackson was married to Arrena who died 20 Oct 1848 in
Randolph Co., AL and then to someone else.

It has been ages since I've looked at any of this, but I do have
your
Jack
J. Camp, Born July 28, 1813, married to Mary Ann Sharp, December 10,
1836. The
only child I have listed for them is Versie Rachel Camp. Do you have any
of
their other children? Maybe Versie is William A. Camp's sister? I have
Versie
as born December 23, 1866. Versie married Robert Erasmus Camp, but she
died
February 6, 1922 and Robert remarried. My grandfather, Walter Luther Camp
was
Robert's brother.
Also, Norm...I looked in my history for Alfred Banks Camp, and I think he
is
my great, great grandfather. The Alfred Banks Camp I have married Mary C.
Heath and died May 30, 1853. Alfred Banks Camp was the father of Henry
Clay
Camp. Henry Clay Camp was the father of Robert Erasmus Camp and my
grandfather,
Walter Luther.
If these seem related to your family members, I'll be happy to get the
information in a format that makes more sense and share.

Hi Susan:
Yes, his name was John (or possibly "Jack") J. Camp. Born July 28,
1813, died August 21, 1880.
My William A. Camp was born in Wedowee, Randolph County, Alabama on
November
29, 1845.
He was first married to Sarah E. Jeter (Geter) on January 27, 1867;
then after her death to Catherine Jeter on June 26, 1882 and finally to
Elizabeth Wilder at Forrester's Chapel on October 1, 1897.
Children of Sarah & Catherine (Jeter sisters) and William were:
Green Berry Camp born 2/13/1868
Alonza B. Camp born 2/3/1870 (my great grandfather)
Mollie (Mary J) Camp born 2/23/1872
Nora Camp born 12/16/1874
Harriett Elizabeth Camp born 5/12/1877
James William Camp born 10/04/1898
Alice Camp born 03/05/1882
Lucinda (Ludi) V. Camp born 04/15/1883
Martin L. (Lutha) Camp born 01/07/1886
Robert McDoler Camp born 01/11/1888
Mabel Camp born 03/05/1890
Eunice L. Camp born 12/03/1892
I have an enormous amount of information on my William Camp which I must
go
through -- but maybe some of the individuals I've listed may ring a bell
with someone -- I would certainly like to get beyond my J.J. Camp -- I
know
I have more info on him but will have to look for it. I run my own
medical-legal nurse consulting business so have a pretty full schedule
and
not as much time as I would like to devote to genealogy.
Best, Annie

>> She was 87 at the time of the affidavit.
>>

>>
>> There is so much more in the suitcase - land records,

>>
