I received a message from Mary who had found a Camp grave that did not belong
to anyone in the cemetery. She was hoping that someone would have any
information on this child and identify him. I told her I would post this to
the Camp list in hopes that someone would have some info for her. Please post
any info you may have, to the list.

Barbara:
His name was Andrew J. Camp son of E.F. and S. Camp born Aug 14 1861 died July
13 or 15, 1863. Sadly underneath it says "gone but not forgotten" but it looks
like he was.
I was talking to a historian at the Dekalb Co Historical Society today and he
said the grave sounded too old to be in that cemetery, that the cemetery didnt
start til around 1880 but his tombstone was against a tree there and there are
no other cemeteries around so...
I hope you can help. It's so sad to think of a child forgotten.

Mary,
I too would like more info on the tombstone. My Great-Grand-Father was
Andrew Jackson Camp, son of James "Seaborn" Camp and Mehaly Beavers,
born May 9, 1834, died March 24, 1907. Seaborn was married a 2nd time
to Elizbeth Parish. Children I have of this marriage were born in the
time frame you mentioned.
Questions; Could the "E F" you mentioned be "E P"? Would someone name
a
child of a second marriage the same as one by the first marriage?
