Hi Linda,
Thanks for your response. How far is Riverton, Utah from Salt Lake?
I did not know that item about Redwood Road being called Camp's Lane in the
1800's. Thanks for adding that piece of info to my family
history research. :-) Did your husband happen to know Gordon or
Shirley South? They are Camp relatives through Shirley. She is the
daughter of my aunt Anne (Camp) Peterson. There are also some
Christofferson's in Malad who are my aunt Anne's offspring through her
first marriage. Don't know who else is still living around there, as it
has been a good number of years since I have visited Malad. My Dad
and Mom moved to Oregon after my older brother was born, so the
rest of us were born and grew up in Oregon, and only saw relatives every few
years at reunions and such. I have heard of Deseret Camp
that you mentioned. It is interesting that your husband's grandmother was
related to her. I guess that sort of makes him a distant relative of
mine, too, in a way, eh? Isn't Deseret the Camp child who was adopted? Is
anything known about her natural parents? Just curious.
I'm not that familiar with Salt Lake, either. Does Redwood Road enter
Salt Lake?
I appreciate your getting in touch through the list. I welcome anything
you may know or are willing to share about the Camps of that area.
Thanks!
Val (Camp) McCown
