Barbara: Sorry, to bother you with this, but I have lost my bookmark file and can't
find my way back to the Camp page or messages, but so glad I am still on the mailing
list. I would like to contact the person who said he was interested in the
tombstone because his gr grandfather was Andrew Jackson Camp, son of James
"Seaborn"
Camp, who married (2nd) Elizabeth Parish. He signed it Bob. I am trying to trace
my 2nd gr grandfarther who was William Parish Camp (b 1798 in VA) and since this is
such an unusual middle name, was trying to make a connection there. Would
appreciate it if you would let me know how I can get in touch with Bob. Also, would
like to know how I can find my way back to your page. Thank you very much. Bob

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?
Bob
