This is from memory so....
Raliegh was born in Walton Co. Ga. 1829, the oldest son of Edmund K. Camp.
He moved to Texas to practice law. He was a Capt with the 7th Texas until
its capture. He was sick and not with the 7th at the time. He returned to
Ga. and joined the 40th Ga. I believe many were from northwest Ga. Co's.
They were captured at Vicksburg then parroled several days later. He went
back to Ga. and later the 40th Ga. was reconstituted. My ancester Thomas L.
transfered from another reg. or that regiment became part of the 40th. I
can't remember. After the war he went back to Texas but died of meningtitis
in 1867

Thanks for the info. Did Thos L Camp also join up out of Texas. My
Thos B
Camp son of Little Berry who had 24 or 25 children lived in Upshur Co at
the
time I believe. My Thos Berry Camp joined the 40th April 1st
according to
records from /nat'l archives..... It said he was elected Major of the 40th
April 1 no year date. Maybe he was mixed up with your Thos who knows.....
