Notes for William CAMP
. Her father was William "Camp, one of four brothers who werepioneer settlers and merchants in Owego. Their businessrequired an annual trip to new York city; and when returningfrom such a trip in 1825, William Camp took passage atWilkes-Barre on board a steam boat which had been fitted up toply between that place and Owego. This was the trial trip ofthe boat, and proved disastrous. The boiler burst and injuredseveral passengers, among them Mr. Camp, and he died in a fewdays. Mrs. Ely's mother was Abigail Whittlesey, the onlydaughter of Captain Asaph Whittlesey, who, with his command offorty men, was killed at the Wyoming massacre in June, 1778.
