Hello Camp List Members:
I am looking for help on establishing the parentage of James R. Camp,
who was born about 1820 in Ohio, and who married Malinda Witt in
Breckinridge County KY, June 28, 1846. His mother was born in Vermont,
father's birthplace not known. Known children of James Camp/Malinda Witt
marriage were: William H. b. abt. 1848 in KY; Eugene L. b. abt. 1850 in
KY; James R. Jr. b. abt. 1853 (my great-grandfather); and Ann, b. abt.
1858 in KY. The family appears in the 1860 and 1870 Ohio County KY
census.
James R. Camp Jr. married Eudora Vastine Petty in Ohio Co. KY December
25, 1873, and is in Henderson KY at the 1900 census. Known children were
Leila b. June 1875, Lorenzo b. November 1877, and Linnie b. November
1883.
William H. Camp married Addie Pate Sept. 8, 1877 in Breckinridge Co. KY.
There was one son, James P. , age 1 at the 1880 Breckinridge Co. KY
census.
Eugene Camp is in the 1880 Breckinridge Co. KY census with Sallie, age
39, and the following children: Laura B. age 9; Norman C. age 7;
Anderson age 6; John W. age 4; and Margaret A. age 1 (all children b.
KY).
Would welcome hearing from anyone familiar with this Camp family.
Thanks,
