| Notes for ISAAC CAMP: [CampOttmer.FTW] Isaac shows up in 1800,1820, 1830, 1840 and1850 census in PA. Thought to have lived in Herrick, PA. There was an Isaac Camp that served in Capt. Phillips' Company in the Pennsylvania Volunteers during the War of 1812. The only other Issac was his son who would have been asmall child during the war; therefore, one would assume that this Issac was the one. The following is a quote from Heverly,Vol 1: "Isaac, born Jan. 25, 1782, married Feb 10, 1803, Mary Lacey. He learned the trade of millwright and was the inventor of the mould-board of the cast iron plough. In 1825 he settled in Herrick and devoted his last days to farming. He died Jan 3,1862, his being the first death of the children (of Job Camp)whose aggregate ages at this time, were over 620 years. His wife died in February 1876, in her 92nd year. Their children were:Clark C., Isaac, Joseph, Lydia (Mrs. M. Weldon), Albert G.,Marietta (Mrs. Chas. Overpeck), George S., Clarissa (Mrs. J.S.Crawford) and Thaddeus S." The following is a quote from"History of Bradford County, Pennsylvania with Biographical Selections" by H.C. Bradsby, 1891. "Isaac Camp, was born near Hartford, Conn., January 25, 1782. His grandfather, Job Camp,was also a native of Connecticut. Isaac Camp came to Camptownin 1800, and served an apprenticeship to the millwright trade,during which time he married, February 10, 1803, Mary Polly Lacey, the eldest daughter of Ebenezer and Lydia (Pratt) Lacey,of Luzerne county, Pa., and removed to New York State. He had worked at his trade several years, and his family had increased to six, when he came back to this county and located in Wyalusing township, in the year 1816. In 1825 he purchased a farm in Herrick township, on which he remained the rest of his life, as a farmer and millwright, and died January 3, 1861; his wife died in February 1876, in her ninety-second year. They had nine children: Clark C., Isaac, Joseph, Lydia A.(wife of M.Weldon), Albert G., Marietta (wife of Charles Overpeck), GeorgeS., Clarissa (wife of J. S. Crawford) and Thaddens S." The following is another quote from a above publication: "In1822...The same year Isaac Camp built a sawmill and house,whiter he moved his family in 1825. Albert Camp settled near his father, and Lacy Camp made small improvements where is now the Crawford farm." The following is taken from "Pioneer and Patriot Families of Bradford County, Pennsylvania, 1800-1825",Vol. 2, by Clement F. Heverly, 1915: "Bradford County Anti-Slavery Society was organized in 1837 with Deacon Giles N.DeWolf as president and Deacon Charles Stevens secretary.However, agitation of this subject has been going on six years.J. Washington Ingham, an authority, says 'In 1831 some Anti-Slavery meetings were held in Terrytown, which were addressed by Geo. F. Horton and Eben Terry, both speaker sholding that slavery was wrong and ought to be immediately abolished'. Five years later the subject was warmly discussed in public meetings throughout the county, particularly in the townships of Pike, Wyalusing and Asylum. Meetings were frequently held and generally well attended in the church at Merryall and in the school houses in the afore mentioned townships. Among the earlier and most active abolitionists, when the name abolitionist was a term of reproach were the following:...Isaac Camp, Clark Camp..." The following is from "Historyof Bradford County 1770-1870" by Rev. David Craft: "This year(1825) Isaac Camp built the saw-mill near the place where he afterwards lived. He moved in with his family in 1825. Albert Camp lived on the next farm to his father, and Lacey Camp made a beginning on the place where Crawford now lives. " There was an Isaac Camp that served in Capt. Phillips' Company in the Pennsylvania Volunteers during the War of 1812. The only other Isaac was his son who would have been a small child during thewar; therefore, one would assume that this Isaac was the one.The 1810 Census shows an Isaac Camp with similar distribution of children living in Cayuga Co., NY.

The following was taken from a news paper article Dec1875, author unknown: "H.W. Camp accompanied by only his true and faithful wife, settled in these woods, these play grounds and frolic fields of nature. On his land, in a log hut was the first election in the township. Single-handed and empty-handed, his only capital will and industry, he plied himself to the task of home-making. Year after year, by sunlight and starlight, he laid siege against obsticles in his way. Conquering them slowly but surely, redeeming acre after acre from forest gloom and letting in upon it the sunshine of heaven, until around him lay a broadand productive farm with all the appointments and resources of an affluent home. During the years of toil, his children were born with him. Ferdinand died in infancy, a mere life blossom,partially unfolded, fluttering back to dust and llike apressed flower, preserved among the leaflets of parental memeory. Susan M. was the oldest daughter. All persons have excellencies after death, but the attractions of some are so impressive that the world is constraigned to acknowledge them in advance of the grave's apotheosis. Such was hers. Seen to be admired, know to be loved. At the age of seventeen she was away at school, took cold, was ill and came home to die. George W.,born 1834, spent his earlier years on the farm, at school and in the store. When the war opened, he volunteered, served under Grant in the Mississippi campaign, was in the battle of Pittsburg Landing, at the siege of Vicksburg, was taken prisoner, and for ten dreary, terrible months, he lay in southern prison pens. He was not released until the cessation ofhostilities, and then returned to his friends who had long since given him up as lost. The harships of war had made rough work with his constitution. His after years were a continual struggle between vitality and disease, and in 1875, he came home to die.Horatio was born in 1838. He was a natural mechanic, a cunningworkman in wood and brass. Following the bent fo his genius, he pursued the arts of the shop. When his country called, he volunteered, served for a time, went back to the shop, and on a cold winter day, 1865, blanched and wan, he came home to die.Williston was born in 1848. The members of the same family not unfrequently evince entirely dissimilar tastes and proclivities.WIlliam's yearnings were for books. To this he gave his enthusiastic pleasure or profit. He grasped for mental culture.Being a student in Lafayette College commened by his tutors and holding high position for conduct and attainment, he gave strong promise of brilliant manhood. But the dearest and most reasonable expectations are many times dashed in the(unreadable). The raven wing of disease let fall its shadow upon him, and with strained nerve and delirious brain, he came hometo die. Charles was born in 1840. Having reached his majority and swayed by the excited patriotism of the day, he found himself on the banks of the Potomic with thousands of others,struggling for the unity of the states. When discharged from the army, he located in New York and was employed mostly as a salesman, bookkeeper, and superintendent of working gangs on the different lines of city improvements. The smiles and frowns of fickle fortune fell alternately upon him. Worn with toil and enervated by sickness, needing care, and sympathy of those who cherished his childhood, and (unreadable) his sorrows, he came home to die. This day, followed by a large concourse of people and borne by four soldier mates to the tents of the dead, he added one more grave to the long line of family graves" Buried in Camptown Cemetery, Camptown, PA.

HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIPS HERRICK TOWNSHIP The first break in the forest between Mr. Park's place and Camptown was made on the farm now owned by Hiram Camp. The fallow was cut by Mr. Park and Robert Depue, in 1821. They carried their rations on their backs from Wyalusing creek. Depue made a little improvement, and soon after left, and Hiram Camp succeeded to it. In 1818, also, James Hines came and settled on the farm now occupied by the widow Platt. He had two daughters, Minerva and Betsey. In 1820, Calvin Stone came. He married Betsey Haywood, and settled on the farm now owned by W. W. Haywood. He was for a time a justice of the peace, and died on the farm in 1859 or '60. He was a brother of Raphael and Luther Stone. About I825 Reuben Atwood settled in East Herrick. He is still living and in good health, though upwards of ninety years of age. In 1822, Charles Squires, of Connecticut, settled on the farm now occupied by Pembroke, his son. This year Isaac Camp built the saw-mill near the place where he afterwards lived. He moved in with his family in 1825. Albert Camp lived on the next farm to his father, and Lacey Camp made a beginning on the place where Crawford now lives. Deacon Charles Stevens, Micajah Slocum, and Ezekiel Mintz came in 1824. Daniel Durand came in 1824 or '25. Adam Overpeck came in the same year, a short time after Mr. Durand. He was recently buried, nearly ninety four years of age. He came from Monroe County, and had three sons with him, took up a large farm, and lived in the same neighborhood. Nathan B. Whitman came into Herrick in 1828 or '29, and settled where Ephraim Platt now lives. Henry Wells made a beginning on the Durand place, clearing a small piece and setting out a few apple trees. He sold out after two years to James Clark. Durand made a beginning beyond Wells, a short time before the latter came in. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
