Dear List,
The deadline for the Heritage Book for Douglas County, Georgia is
fast approaching.
Does anyone else descend from John Thomas Camp? At one time,
Jackie Camp's daughter in law was a member. My computer crashed
about a year ago and I lost her address along with much of my
correspondence.
Jackie's husband, Raymond is a grandson of John Thomas through his
John's second son. My grandfather was John Thomas' older son,
William Robert, who died in 1939.
The 1880 census has John Thomas, his wife, Martha Jane Duke and
my infant grandfather listed in Campbell County next door to Martha's
parents, John Monroe Duke and Sarah An Beck Duke. That part
of Campbell County later became Douglas County.
Tradition has it that John Thomas was once a road and a school
commissioner in Douglas County. Jackie had a photo of John
and Martha Jane that she had restored. Does anyone have
a copy?
I hope that someone who has more information than I will write a bio for him
for the Heritage Book. If not, I will try to scrape together what I have to
try
and meet the deadline.
If anyone has any interest or comments, please let me know.
