Hi List:
I am doubly blessed or cursed (it is a matter of prospective sometimes)
with having Camp's in two different branches of my lineage.
My Camps have been in Texas since about 1864 that we know of. They
possibly could have been in Texas as early as 1859. I found a J. E.
Camp listed on the Johnson County tax roll in 1859, 1861 and 1862, the
following years of the tax rolls were unreadable. I know that J. E.
Camp was not on the 1867 voters census. I don't know where he was for
the 1860 Johnson Co. census either. I believe him to be the father of
my Camp's. I have been unable to located any more information about
him.
My g-grandmother was Martha Camp married John Wood St Clair in Johnson
Co., TX in 1864. On her marriage certificate her name is listed as
Kemp. John and Martha moved to Earth Co in 1880.
On my other side my gg-grandfather was William Gabriel Camp. WGC
married Samathia Phillips in Johnson Co in about 1865/66. Their
children were: (1) William Henry Camp b/Dec 1867 *my g-grandfather* (2)
Samuel W. Camp (3) Mollie Camp (4) Delia Camp (5) John Irving Camp (6)
Thomas Jackson Camp (7) Susie Camp (8) Jodie Camp (9) Emma Camp
I believe that Martha Camp/Kemp St Clair and William Gabriel Camp are
possibly brother and sister, but have no proof.
I know that my Camp family have lived in Johnson, Brown, Stephens,
Erath, Hood, Palo Pinto, Haskell, Knox, Lamb, Bailey Counties of Texas,
and probably others.
I would really love to hear from anyone who has any information
cencerning the elusive Texas Camp's.
