Mark,
I can put the document on the Camp web pages if you wish, is it a text file
or .jpg file? Attach it to an email to me, if that doesn't work, I can scan
the original and put it directly on the site. If none of this works, I can
put the text below on the site. Let me know what you can do, thanks.
Someone said they were sending it to me, but as of right now, I haven't
received anything.

Hello. I have an interesting, undated, and entirely hand-written
document
that relates, as far as I've been able to determine, to the 1783 Treaty of
Paris. I'd like to share this information, and perhaps learn more about it.
The document begins: "We the subscribers agree to pay Mr. Samuel C. Camp &
others a committee to make arrangements for selebrating (sic) the
ratification of peace, the sum or sums annexed to our several names to be
improved in the purchase of powder & other necessaries." 36 names and the
corresponding subscription amounts (in dollars and cents) follow. They are,
as best as I can transcribe: Budgman Guernsy, Samuel C. Camp, Deacon Abner
Newton, Jess Alwell, Richard Robinson, Worthington G. Chauncy, John Butler,
Capt. Stephen Robinson, Richard Hubbard, Capt. O---ids Camp, Capt. Charles
Robinson, Wm. Smith, Wm. Knowls, Adam Baldwin, Hezekiah Baldwin, Roger
Newton, Isaac Newton, Lemuel Camp, Denis Camp, Wm. Brainard, Daniel
Hickcox, L.P. Chauncy, James R!
obinson, Pa-- a- Coe, Charles Camp, H--th Camp, Joseph Camp, John White,
Samuel Hall, Capt. Man--h Camp, Samuel Curley, James Clark, Daniel -ut-s,
John Loveland, Asahel Strong. Your website names the aforementioned Samuel
C. Camp, citing his place and date of birth as Hartford, 1694. There is,
however, no reference to his date of death. I would be happy to send an
image of this document to any interested party. My sole interest is to
share the information I have, and to hopefully learn from yours. Mark
