Notes for Thomas B CAMP
Just prior to 1717 six young men, Thomas Camp; two younger
brother from England and their cousins, Samuel, Edmond and John
DeCobbs from Wales landed at Charleston S.C. and went on foot
through the Carolinas into Virginia. Thomas Camp, Edmond and John
DeCobbs settled in Halifax and Bedford Counties Virginia, the
others going farther north. Thomas Camp, the emigrant, born 1691,
married a Miss Marshall of Virginia and had three sons, born
Feb. 8, 1717, John and Marshall. The last two were officers of
the Revolution in Va. Thomas removed to Ireland Ford (?), Ruther-
ford County, N.C., soon after the death of his first wife. There
he married Margtaret Carney, a very capable Irish woman. Both of
them are buried in the burying ground of the ole homestead, which
is still owned by the family. Thomas Camp was too old for active
military service, but for the aid he gave the colonies, his home
was pillaged by the British. He had five sons in the battle of
King's Mountain. According to family tradition, Nathaniel with
several relatives and friends, was walking over the battlefield and
found
a silver mounted conch shell. All the men tried to blow it with
indifferent success. Because Hosea, the little son of Nathaniel
succeeded, it was given to him and is still in possession of his
descendents. This conch shell was the property of Col. Ferguson,
the British commander and was used by him for signal work with
his troops.
