Dear Aunt Ludie, My Husband was told his maternal grandmothers family who are
Camps are Cherokee. They did migrate into Arkansas. Can you help point me in
a direction to search this line of Camps and the Cherokee heritage?VA
Dear VA, Your request is sketchy however I will do my best to search and give
you some key areas for your research. The bad news is the Bureau of Indian
Affairs in Arkansas burned to the ground in 1910 what wasn’t ashes was ruined
by water. My resources show two sets of Camps—those descended from Rev.
Ichabod Camp and Samuel Camp (originally from Connecticut) and those from
Thomas originally from Virginia. Dawes Indian Index shows Camp to be in the
Sioux tribe. I did find several interesting web sites I can email you if you
would send your address to Mr. Goodwin at the Press address. Happy Hunting
Aunt Ludie
