-
- NEW YORK, _May 22d, 1900_
-
-In compiling the genealogical history of Laurent De Camp, an early
-Huguenot emigrant to the New Netherlands, and his descendants, I have
-been actuated not only by the desire to perpetuate the memory of the
-first American ancestor of an old New Jersey family, but also to
-preserve for future generations manuscript records rapidly
-disintegrating and in many cases inaccessible to the general public. The
-early French and Dutch church records in New York and New Jersey have,
-with few exceptions, remained unprinted and have been so carelessly kept
-that the writings have almost faded away. To add to my difficulty the
-puzzling method adopted by the ignorant Dutch clerks of entering the
-French name “De Camp” in its Dutch equivalents “Van Camp” and “Van
-Campen” has necessitated a long and thorough search against each name in
-order that no important fact concerning the De Camp family, so
-erroneously recorded, might be overlooked. Throughout this search I have
-found no evidence to prove the “De Camp” and “Van Campen” families
-identical or even related in any degree. I have further had to struggle
-against a curious apathy among the present “De Camps” concerning their
-origin and in several cases an absolute refusal to furnish the slightest
-information about their immediate generation.
-
-The result of six years’ labor is contained in these pages, and I trust
-the data collected may prove of value to those interested in the
-subject, and spur them on to further research.
-
-Some mistakes will doubtless be found throughout the work, but all
-criticism and correction will be warmly welcomed and any additional
-information gratefully received.

-
- THE DE CAMP FAMILY.
-
-
-When the Catholic party, headed by Catherine di Medici, culminated years
-of cruel persecution with the massacre of the French Protestants on St.
-Bartholomew’s Day, 24th August, 1572, a number of the surviving
-Huguenots fled for safety to the Netherlands and England. In many cases
-the name of illustrious families disappear forever from the records of
-France only to reappear in and flourish under the protection and
-religious toleration of the Dutch and English nations. Between the years
-1572 and 1620 the names of many of the French refugees underwent a
-change suitable to the environment and in some cases became so Dutch in
-character that it is extremely difficult to trace them back to the
-original French. The curious custom so prevalent in the Netherlands of
-using no surname and designating as “Laurence, the son of John,”
-(Laurens Jansen) if such was the father’s Christian name, renders the
-task of the genealogist still more complicated, and when added to the
-fact that localities and towns of the same derivative designation exist
-both in France and Holland (as the hamlet of “Camps” in France and the
-villages of “Campen” in the Netherlands and Denmark), it is small wonder
-that the greatest confusion prevails as to the ancestral source of many
-early New Amsterdam families. As early as 1650 the names of “De Camp,”
-“Van Kamp” and “Van Campen” appear on the church and State records of
-New Amsterdam and the surrounding towns. It was long supposed that these
-three families were closely related, if not identical, but a critical
-examination of the records not only of the parents and children, but
-also of the baptismal sponsors, carries the conviction that the “De
-Camp” and the “Van Campen” families were of different origin and
-nationality. Almost all the original “De Camp” settlers who can
-positively be identified and traced as such were recorded in the Dutch
-church records of New Amsterdam, Brooklyn, Flatbush, New Utrecht, and
-Staten Island, under the names “Van Kamp” and “Van Campen” by the clerks
-of the above several parishes. It is only after the year 1710 that the
-name begins to be written correctly as “De Camp” or “D’Camp” on the
-church records.
-
-At first it was theorized that some of the early “Van Campen” settlers
-were originally members of the “De Camp” family, basing the presumption
-upon the repeated recording of the name of “De Camp” in its Dutch
-equivalent, but upon classifying and comparing the names of the several
-sponsors at the baptism of the “De Camp” and “Van Campen” children, the
-strongest evidence is found to sustain the statement that the two
-families were nowise related by blood or marriage, the one being of
-French and the other of Dutch origin. As a matter of general interest,
-however, and for the sake of more complete record some few facts
-concerning the “Van Campen”[1] family are given in the foot-notes and
-the genealogical student can thus verify the above statement and draw
-his own conclusions. Every effort has been made by the compiler to trace
-the “De Camp” name in France, but a thorough search in the archives of
-the “Bibliotheque Nationale” at Paris, and of the Department du Pas de
-Calais at Arras, fails to disclose any information of direct bearing
-upon the American families of “De Camp.” For the purpose of record
-however, the following facts may be of interest. The name “De or Du
-Camp, Camps and Campe,” also “Decamp” appear in the records of the
-cities of Laon, Rosay, Rouen, Caen, Montauban, and Camp (a small hamlet
-near Abbeville) of France, and in the archives of the cities of Lausanne
-and Geneva of Switzerland.
-
-TRISTAN and PIERRE DE CAMP of Lusigran de la Cabé les Pezenas, district
-of Beziers, were received as inhabitants of Geneva on 7th January 1555.
-
-JEAN DE CAMP, a saddler, was killed at Rouen during the St. Bartholomew
-massacre, August 1572.
-
-NOEL DE CAMP, a nobleman, Seigneur de La Boudrie, was received as an

-companions.
-
-JEAN DE CAMP, going from Tours, received a passport on 2d July 1590.
-
-MARTHE (DE) CAMP de Bombelles, born of a good family of Montauban,
-married a Catholic officer in the “Desert,” who wasted her marriage
-portion and then abandoned her, alleging under the then law that his
-marriage with a Protestant was a nullity. The unfortunate woman was
-supported by a family named “Van Robais” and her daughter “Charlotte”
-later married one of that name.
-
-DANIEL DE CAMP, son of Paul de Camp, a merchant at Sedan and Marthe de
-La Croix, was born about 1643, and became minister at Laon. He married
-at Charenton on 11th June 1673, Marie, daughter of Mathew Roguin and
-Margarite Bolduc. He was a member of the Synod of Ile de France on 26th
-August 1677, and minister of the church at Roncy 1677–79.
-
-MOSES DE CAMP, of Montauban, was a student at the faculty of the town in
-1657. He became pastor of Mazamet 1659–68; was imprisoned several times
-in 1665 for refusing to salute the Sacrament when passing in the street;
-he died in February 1668.
-
-MARIE DE CAMP, of La Rochelle, widow, aged 49 years, with two children,
-was naturalized at London as Mary de Camp on 21st November 1682, and was
-assisted there 1702–06.
-
-PIERRE DE CAMP, of Pary le Monial in the Duchy of Burgundy, was received
-as a refugee with others at Lausanne on 21st August 1688. He was a
-copper-smith and died there on 1st March 1705 aged 64 years.
-
-LAURENT DE CAMP was Seigneur of Bernoville (Picardie or Normandie) in
-1746.[2]
-
-There appears to have been a large family of “Du Campe” located in the
-neighborhood of Boulogne from 1475, but it is uncertain whether they
-were of same family as the Protestant “De Camps.”
-
-HUCHON DU CAMP owned a fief in the county of Boulogne in 1477.
-
-JEHENNET DU CAMP owned an estate at Wissant prior to 1500.
-
-THOMAS DU CAMP owned an estate at Luberg in 1505.
-
-HENRI, JEANNE, ROBIN AND ANTOINETTE DU CAMP held fiefs at Engouasant in

-declared their fiefs at Boulogne in 1572.
-
-WILLIAM DU CAMP held a fief at Maninghen-les-Wimille in 1575.
-
-MARGUERITTE DU CAMP, daughter of Guillaume Du Camp and Francoise Noel,
-living at Lianne, parish of Allingthun, married on 21 May, 1631, Jehan
-Flahaut, son of Nicholas Flahaut and Leonarde Lambert, living at Laires.
-
-ANTOINE LE FEBURE, SIEUR DU CAMP du Rien, living at Wierre-au-Bois, son
-of Antoine Le Febure (husband of 2d wife Peronne Damiens), married on 28
-October, 1631. Suzanne Caullier, daughter of Jean Caullier and Marye
-Frutier, living at Boulogne.
-
-In “Recherche Genealogiques sur les contés de Boulogne, etc., Tome I.,
-pp. 312,” is mentioned a family of “Du Campe” in Boulogne who had the
-arms on a shield of silver, two bars, red. The ancestry is as follows:
-
-“JEAN ROLANT DU CAMPE, married to Marie de Euyl, was the father of
-_Martin_, 1482; ——, of Bois-le-Duc, father of _Robert_, married at
-Montreuil in 1538 first to Helene Gressier, daughter of Antoine and
-Peronne du Camp and second to Jacqueline Le Bois (remarried to Gabriel
-de Lozieres). He had by his first marriage _Nicholas_, Sieur de Hubert,
-who married at Montreuil in 1569 Laurence de Lozieres, the daughter of
-his stepmother, whence he had issue _Francois_ and _Jeanne_, the wife of
-Jean Le Vasseur. _Francois_, Sieur de Cambremont, married in 1617
-Jacqueline Lesseline, daughter of Pierre, Sieur de La Malotterie,
-captain and high bailiff of Samer, and Agnes Bertrand, and had issue
-_Philippe_ and _Louis_, priest of the Oratory of Boulogne.
-
-“_Philippe_, Sieur de Tardinghen and Longueville, musketeer of the king,
-attached to the regiment of the marines, married at Calais 24 February,
-1672, Adrienne Marguerite Lepigault, daughter of Nicolas, Sieur de
-Vertesalle, mayor and judge-consul of Calais, and Jeanne Pollart
-(Nobillaire de Rousseville), and had issue _Louis_, esquire, Sieur of
-Tardinghen, Ostove, Longatte, La Teutrie and Noir-Bonningue, who
-purchased in 1710 the estates of Frency and Rosamel paying 46,050 pounds
-for the inheritance of Monseigneur Augustine de Gouffier, Count of
-Rosamel. He married in 1696 Antoinette Catherine Carpentier, daughter of
-Antoine, Sieur of Lespagnerie and Catherine de Courteville d’Hodieg. He
-was master of the waters and forests at Boulogne, and the father of many
-children. From him descended the present Du Campes of Rosamel, allied to
-the La Rue, Le Blond de Plouy, Cacheleu d’Houdan, etc., among whom were
-_Daniel Antoine_, lieutenant in the Liannois regiment in 1729; _Claude
-Louis Marie_, marshal of the camp in 1789; and in the present century a
-rear-admiral, minister of war, father of another rear-admiral, a son of
-whom is at the present time commander of a vessel.”
-
-There are many references concerning these “Du Campes” in the archives
-of the Department Pas du Calais at Arras, from which may be learned the
-following facts: _Francois_ and _Jacqueline (Lesseline) Du Campe_ had
-issue _Guillaume_, eldest son, an advocate at Sarlement, and later Sieur
-of Cambremont; _Philippe_, second son, baptized at parish of St. Joseph
-on 9 November, 1646, his godfather being Philippe de Crequy,
-Chevalier-Seigneur de Hesmont, Souverains Moulins, Wimille, and other
-estates; _Francoise_, a daughter, who signed a marriage contract with
-Regnaut Destailleur, Knight, Sieur de Questreque, on 10 September, 1659,
-and had a child, Marie Francoise Destailleur, married to Bertrand de La
-Haye, Seigneur de la Houssaye, on 27 January, 1684, by Louis, priest of
-the Oratory; _Louis_, who was priest of the Oratory at Boulogne, and
-died 8 November, 1700.
-
-PHILIPPE AND ADRIENNE (LEPIGAULT) DU CAMPE had a son _Louis_ and a
-daughter _Nicolle_, who married Jean de Lafontaine, Sieur Dufart.
-
-LOUIS AND ANTOINETTE (CARPENTIER) DU CAMPE had a son _Louis Antoine_
-baptized 15 April, 1697, and a son _Francois_, baptized 10 October,
-1712.
-
-DANIEL ANTOINE DU CAMPE, squire and Seigneur de Rosamel, was married on
-7 January, 1727, to Marie Marguerite de la Rue du Rosny, by Louis Claude
-Du Campe, priest of the parish of St. Joseph, and had a son _Daniel_,
-baptized on 20 September, 1729–30.
-
-CLAUDE LOUIS MARIE DU CAMPE, Chevalier, Seigneur de Rosamel, Chevalier
-of St. Louis, Major of the Royal Navarre Regiment, married Marie Armande
-Cecile de St. Martin, who died 17 February, 1765, aged 19 years. He was
-also Seigneur of Frency, Seguian, Journy, Lamotte, Courteville, and
-Zelucy.
-
-CLAUDE CHARLES MARIE DU CAMP DE ROSAMEL was born at Boulogne 1774 (?),
-was minister of marine, and died 19 March, 1873.
-
-In addition to above “Du Campes” clearly related to the great Du Campe
-family of Boulogne, we also find the following mentioned in the Arras
-archives:
-
-JEAN DESCAMPS (sic) living at Boulogne, a son of Jean Descamps,
-deceased, and Margueritte Chevalier, married on 28 September, 1681,
-Catherine Delarre. Witness, Maurice Descamps, his younger brother.
-
-GUILLAUME DU CAMPE and Marie Boutalle had a son Jean, who obtained a
-beneficiary letter on 12 October, 1705.
-
-NICHOLAS DU CAMP and Marie Isabelle Battel, his wife, living at
-Cremaren, had a lawsuit at Samer with Jean Battel and Marie Duflos, his
-wife, on 30 October, 1733.
-
-MARIE ANNE BARBE AUSTREBERTHE COULOMBER DU CAMP, daughter of Jacques and
-Angelique Rose Du Camp, living at Boulogne, married on 24 July, 1736,
-Antoine, Seigneur du Blaujel. Witness, Jean Du Camp, proprietor, living
-at Lianne.
-
-MARIE ROSE DESCAMPS, widow of Charles Jacques, living at the hamlet of
-Partel, gave a donation to Marie Rose Jacques, her daughter, of
-furniture situated at Bienvillon-au-Bois on 11 October, 1741.
-
-LOUISE MARIE DU CAMP, living at Brumembert, signed a contract of
-marriage with Adrien Gardin, laborer, living at same place, on 11
-January, 1755.
-
-In “Le Cabinet Historique” (Indicateur Armorial d’Houzier, Charles
-Rene), edition 1866, may be found the names of those “De Camps” entitled
-to bear coat-armor about 1650. The list is as follows:
-
-JEAN ANDRÉ DE CAMPS, Counsellor to the Presidial of Pamiers. Arms: On a
-shield azure a chevron with two roses in chief and a wheat sheaf in
-point, all in gold. (Montpellier, vol. 15, fol. 1483.)
-
-JACQUES DE or DU CAMP, notary in the district of Lauvan. Arms: On a
-shield sinople (the color green in English heraldry) a chief fessy, gold
-and sable. (Montpellier, vol. 15, fol. 1483.)
-
-FRANCOIS DE CAMPS, Abbe de Ligny. Arms: On a shield azure, a lion gold
-holding in his two front paws a shield, sable. (Paris, vol. 24, pt. ii.,
-fol. 1137.)
-
-LAURENT DE CAMPS, Chief Surgeon of the King’s Hospitals at Maubeuge.
-Arms: On a shield azure three trefoils, gold, 2 and 1. (Flanders, vol.
-12, fol. 1438.)
-
-ETIENNE DES CAMPS, scribe of the king at the gallery called La Forte.
-Arms: On a shield azure a crescent gold between two towers silver,
-placed front, three stars gold ranged in chief, and three ducks, also
-gold, ranged in point, swimming on a river of silver. (Provence, vol.
-29, pt. i., fol. 668.)
-
-JACQUES DE CAMPS, bourgeois. Arms: On a shield azure two towers silver,
-jointed sable, accompanied in point by a dog, gold, running after a
-hare, gold, on a meadow, silver, and a chief gules charged with three
-gold stars. (Provence, vol. 29, pt. i., fol. 818.)
-
-BERTRAND DE CAMPS, Procureur Audit of Parleement; Capitoul (municipal
-officer of Toulouse). Arms: On a shield azure a chevron gules,
-accompanied in chief by dots azure, and in point by a lion of sable,
-tongued and armed gules and a chief, azure, charged with three silver
-stars. (Toulouse, vol. 14, pt. i., fol. 137.)
-
-PIERRE DE CAMPS, esquire, Seigneur de Clairbourg, and former body guard
-to the king, Valet of the Wardrobe to Monsieur (the Dauphin). Arms: On a
-shield azure a chevron gules, accompanied by three merlets of sable.
-
-
-From the above facts it will be noted that there existed a large family
-of Protestant “De Camps” at Montauban between 1625–1675; a great
-Catholic family of “Du Campe” at Boulogne between 1600–1780, and an
-indication of “De Camps” at Rouen. Perhaps a clue to the ancestry of the
-New Jersey “De Camp” family may lurk about that Laurent De Camps who was
-Chief Surgeon at Mauberge and that Laurent De Camps who was Sieur de
-Bernoville in 1746. The fact of a Maurice Descamps being a witness to
-the marriage of his brother Jean Descamps and Catherine Delarre on 28
-September, 1681, may also be important, as this Maurice was a son of
-Jean and Margueritte (Chevalier) Descamps, deceased in 1681, and it will
-hereafter be seen that the name of Morris is a favored one in the early
-New Jersey De Camp families.
-
-The purpose of the present work is to trace and record the descendants
-of “Laurens Jansen De Camp,”[3] a French Huguenot, who arrived in this
-country about 1664, and appears to have been the first and only one of
-his name who came to the shores of the New Netherlands.
-
-1 LAURENCE^2 DE CAMP, the son of _John^1 De Camp_, was probably born
-either in the province of Picardie or Normandy about 1645. He arrived at
-New Amsterdam in 1664, in company with other Huguenots, from Holland;
-but the name of the vessel in which he crossed the ocean is unknown. Dr.
-Charles W. Baird, in his “History of the Huguenot Refugees in America,”
-states that his fellow-emigrants were Antoine du Chaine, Nicolas de La
-Plaine, Jean de la Warde, all of Normandy; and Simon Bouclé, Jacques
-Monier, Pierre Monier, Gedeon Merlet, Jacques Cossart, and Jean Paul de
-Rues. In the early Dutch church records he is repeatedly called “Laurens
-Jansen,”[4] but in 1687 his full name, “Laurens Jansen De Camp,” appears
-on the Kings County, N. Y., rolls.
-
-He must have been quite young at the date of his emigration for he
-married about 1676 Elsie de Mandeville, daughter of Gillis and Altje
-(Hendricks) de Mandeville[5] (also written Mandeviel), and had most if
-not all his children born within the period of from 1676–1696. In the
-Assessment Roll of New Utrecht made up 24th August, 1675, his name
-appears as “Laurens Jansen 1 Pole, 2 Horses, 2 Cows, £52; 24 Morgens of
-Land £48; Total; £100;” and in the Assessment Roll of the same place
-made up 29th September, 1676, he appears as “Laurens Jansen 1 Pole; 2
-Horses; 2 Cows; £52; 12 Morgens of Land; £24; Total £76.”
-
-In 1677 the names “Laurens Jansen and wife” appear in a list of church
-members at New Utrecht, N. Y., and he undoubtedly lived at this place
-from 1664 to 1688, for on the 26th September, 1687, his name appears on
-a list of these inhabitants of Kings County, N. Y., who took the oath of
-allegiance to England as follows: “Lawrens Janse De Camp 23 Jaere” (Doc.
-Hist. of N. Y., vol. I., p. 415), (that is, he had been in New
-Netherlands 23 years) of New Utrecht, N. Y. Shortly after this date he
-must have removed to Staten Island, N. Y., where there was a large
-Huguenot settlement and a French church established as early as 1680. On
-30th December, 1701, he joined in a Petition of the Protestants of New
-York to King William III. (N. Y. Col. Mss., vol. IV., p. 942), entitled
-“A list of the maj^r part of the freeholders and inhabitants of Richmond
-County” “Johannes de Campe; Larrens de Campe.” The John De Camp here
-mentioned was his eldest son. In 1719, May 7th, he was Local Pastor of
-the Staten Island Dutch Church. On 20 June, 1679 “Laurens Janz & Altie
-Gillis” his wife, were the witnesses at baptism of Maria, the child of
-Antoine Du Chesne and Anna Bocque at Flatbush, N. Y. On 5th May, 1688,
-Laurens Jansen and Altie Gillis, his wife, were the witnesses at baptism
-of Angenetie, child of Hendrik Jansen Cammega and Anna Maria Vervele at
-Flatbush, N. Y.
-
-His children were:
-
- i JOANNES^3, bapt. 1677, Apl. 2, at Brooklyn, N. Y. by Dom.
- Gideon Schaets. Witnesses: Joannes Gillisz and Tryntje
- Gillis.
-
- 2 ii JOHANIS^3, bapt. 1679, Feb. 2, at Flatbush. Witness: Tryntje
- Gillis.
-
- iii STYNTJE^3, bapt. 1681, Jan. 16, at Flatbush. Witness: Gillis
- and Elsje Mandeville. She is Christyntje or Christina De
- Camp and married _Christoffel Christopher_, and their names
- appear on Staten Island Dutch Church record as witnesses on
- several entries of birth.
-
- 3 iv HENDRIK^3, bapt. about 1682, probably at Flatbush.
-
- 4 v AGIDIUS^3, bapt. 1683, Apl. 8, at Flatbush. Witnesses: Hend
- Gillis and Aaratie Peters.
-
- vi WERAICHIE^3, bapt. 1685 at Flatbush. Witnesses: Dan Polhemus
- and Neeltje Cornelissen V. d. Veer. Her name as entered is
- wrong or meant for Marytje. She married _Charles Ellens_ and
- had a son (11) _Johannes_^4, bapt. 1719, May 7, at Staten
- Island. Witnesses: Laurens de Camp, Loco. Past: Nicholas
- Bakkers, Catherine Vlierboom.
-
- vii ALTJE^3, bapt. about 1690. She married _Cornelis Egmont_, and
- had issue (1) _Altje_^4 bapt. 1718, Apl. 21, at Staten
- Island, by Dom. Freeman. Witnesses: Louwerens Van Campen and
- wife. (2) _Femmetje_^4 bapt. 1721, Apl. 30, at Staten
- Island. Witnesses: Gideon de Camp and Hendrikje Elles. (3)
- _Zeger_^4 bapt. 1723, July 21, at Staten Island. Witnesses:
- Zeger Gerritzen and Jannetje Faas. (4) _Christoffel_^4 bapt.
- 1725, Jan. 2, at Staten Island. Witnesses: Laurens de Camp
- and Christyntje de Camp.
-
-2 JOHN^3 DE CAMP (Laurence^2, John^1) was born at New Utrecht, N. Y.,
-about January 1679. He was baptized on 2d Feb. 1679, at Flatbush, N. Y.
-Witness: Trynte Gillis. He must have removed to Staten Island with his
-father, for his name appears on a List of Protestant Freeholders of
-Richmond Co., who petitioned King William III., on 30 Dec. 1701, as
-“Johannes de Campe.” He married about 1701, _Mary Praal_, daughter of
-Peter and Mary Praal, and died about 1765. He left a will dated 9 Feb.
-1764, probated in Essex Co., N. J., on 28 May, 1766, Liber H., fol. 610,
-in which he mentions a son Aaron; heirs of a son John, deceased; heirs
-of a daughter Mary Vannamen, deceased; heirs of a daughter Dinah Power,
-deceased; and a daughter Sarah Oughtletree. The executors named were
-William Parrat, Jacob Bedell, and Recompense Stanbury. The witnesses
-were Jonathan Milford, Abraham Rutan and William Coles.
-
-In 1715 “Johannes Van Campen and Saara Van Namen” were witnesses at
-baptism of Tys, child of Johannes Sweem, at Staten Island.
-
-The children of John De Camp were:
-

-soldier of the Revolution, died at Greenport, L. I., on the 26th inst.
-(July) aged[11] 96 years.” There is a tradition that in 1775 at the
-outbreak of the Revolutionary War he was 14 years of age, and
-immediately enlisted and served all through the war. This would
-apparently place his birth at 1761. In the N. Y. Herald of Monday, 1st
-August, 1853, the following obituary notice appears:
-
-“Henry De Camp, a soldier of the Revolution, died at Greenport, L. I.,
-on the 26th ult., aged 96 years. Mr. De Camp was born in New Brunswick,
-N. J. When he was yet a mere youth the Revolution commenced and he
-joined a company raised at New Brunswick. At the close of the war he
-learned the trade of a carpenter, and commenced business at Troy, N. Y.,
-at which place he settled when there were only six or seven houses
-there. He built the first Presbyterian Meeting House erected there. He
-would have been astonished could he have visited Troy to have seen to
-what it had grown. For the last twenty-five years he has resided at
-Greenport, L. I. Out of a large family only four children survive him,
-and fourteen grand, twenty-three great grandchildren, and one great
-great grandchild.” Henry De Camp’s wife was a sister of Mary Frear, who

-
-“On Thursday, 24th inst. John De Camp, aged 84 years. This upright and
-energetic man was a soldier of the Revolution. At the early age of 16 he
-commenced an active career of military enterprise and was soon engaged
-in the perils and glories of the scenes immediately following the
-retreat of General Washington across New Jersey. He was present in
-numerous engagements with the enemy. His personal conduct secured for
-him the approbation of many well known officers, under whom he served.
-For two years he was constantly exposed to the dangers and privations of
-active service. He then joined a body of men known as express riders
-attached to the Quartermaster-General’s Department. In this capacity he
-soon became personally known to Gen. Washington, who on many occasions
-thereafter during a period of three years, entrusted him with despatches
-for Congress and for his general officers. In all his military duties he
-invariably acquired the confidence of his general commander, and the
-fact of his being constantly employed in the immediate service of Gen.
-Washington is a sufficient guarantee of his character. With his life as
-a private citizen we have less to do. It is enough to say that he was
-eminently successful. He was remarkable for industry, activity and
-probity. For 27 years he occupied a seat on the judicial bench of his
-native state, New Jersey. At a later period he came to reside in this
-city, and in the numerous circles of acquaintances he commanded the
-respect and esteem of all who knew him to value the great Christian
-virtues of benevolence, integrity, and truth. His funeral will take
-place on Sunday afternoon, the 27th inst., from his late residence No.

-Footnote 1:
-
- NOTE.—(A.) One Gerrit Jansen Van Campen and Machtelt Stoffels, his
- wife, had a child Jan, baptized at Kingston, N. Y., on 18 April 1661.
- Witnesses: Jacob Jansen Van Campen; (undoubtedly a brother), Juriaen
- Westvaal, Marytjen Hansen, and Tryntje Tyssen Bos. From this child Jan
- sprang all the Kingston, N. Y., and Somerville, N. J. families of “Van
- Campen” descendants of which settled in Schawangunk, Minisink, and
- Delaware Water Gap.
-
- On 11th June 1667 one Jan Smedes sued Gerrit van Campen in the New
- Amsterdam Mayors Court and on 17th December 1667 Bartholomew van den
- Schol sued him in the same court.
-
- One Gerrit Jansen Van Campen bought a house and lot at Flushing, N.
- Y., of Peter Jansen Schol on 27 November 1688 (Liber C. page 45
- Flushing Register Office). It seems a fair assumption to regard this
- Gerrit Jansen Van Campen of Kingston, New York, and Flushing as one
- and the same person, and that Jacob Jansen Van Campen, who was a
- witness at the baptism at Kingston, 1661, was probably a brother.
-
- (B.) There was a Gerrit Janzen Van Campen, who had a wife Aeltje
- Pieter Lamberts, and a child Cornelia, baptized at N. Y. Dutch Church
- on 1st January 1655. Witness Emmetie Van der Slüys. The name of the
- witness inclines one to believe that Gerrit Janzen Van Campen was
- closely related to the following party.
-
- (C.) Lambert Hendrickson Van Campen in 1664 took the oath of
- allegiance at New Amsterdam, and was assessed later as living in
- “Marketfield Alley.” He and his wife Barbetje Barents, had a child
- Hendrick, baptized in N. Y. Dutch Church, 9 November 1661. Witness:
- Marritie Van der Slüys.
-
- (D.) One Jan Martyn Van Campen had a child Johannis, baptized in N. Y.
- Dutch Church, 4 April 1660. Witnesses: Nicasius de Sille and
- housewife, and Pieter Montfort. This man was in command of a privateer
- and is mentioned in N. Y. Colonial records.
-
-Footnote 2:
-
- NOTE.—The authorities for above facts are as follows: “La France
- Protestante,” by Hogg; “Bulletin Protestant,” VIII., pp. 444, 454,
- 455; “List of French Protestants who were Naturalized in England,” by
- Agnew; “La France Protestante,” by Henri Bordier; “History of the
- Huguenot Refugees in America,” by Charles W. Baird, ed. 1886, pp. 772;
- “Carres d’Hozier,” vol. 148, folio 19; “Histoire de l’Eglise
- Protestante de France,” by Charles Drion, 1885; “Histoire
- Ecclesiastique des Eglises Reformes de France du XVI. au XVIII.
- Siecle,” vol. 2, pp. 483; “Collection of Genealogies of America,” by
- Charles Browning, 1891, pp. 726; “Histoire des Refugies Protestants de
- France,” by Charles Weiss, vol. 1, pp. 367; “Recherche Nobiliaires en
- Normandie, par un Gentilhomme Normand (Amedee du Buisson de Courson),”
- 1876, pp. 236.
-
-Footnote 3:
-
- NOTE.—It has been stated that he was related to that Nicholas Camp who
- went from Wethersfield to Milford, Conn., in 1639, and had a son or a
- grandson, William Campe, who removed to Newark, N. J., about 1665. Not
- the slightest proof of such relationship exists, and upon none of the
- Milford, Conn., or Newark, N. J., records dealing with this Camp
- family does the prefix “De” appear. Moreover, it is well established
- that the Milford Camp family was of English origin.
-
-Footnote 4:
-
- NOTE.—There were several of the early inhabitants of New Amsterdam who
- were called “Laurens Jansen” on the records, none of whom can be
- identified with our “Laurens Jansen De Camp.” It is interesting,
- however, to trace out such of these “Laurens Jansen” worthies as can
- clearly be followed.
-
- (A.) In a list of early immigrants the following appears: 1659
- February, In the Faith, “Laurens Janssen from Wormer” (Documentary
- History of New York, vol. III.) The same man appears on the N. Y.
- Dutch Church records as follows: “1666 May 6, Laurens Janzen j. m. van
- Wormer in Noorthollt en Annetje Jans wed^e van Lucas Elderzen.”
-
- (B.) On the same church record also appears one Laurens Jansen who had
- a wife Marritie Aldrichs, and children baptized Maritje, 1672 April
- 16; Annetje 1674 July 8; Albert 1676 November 11; Wyntje 1679 April
- 23; Neeltje 1682 May 20; Jan 1685 April 29; Belitje 1693 June 18.
-
- (C.) In a list of those who took the oath of allegiance at New
- Utrecht, N. Y., on 26th September 1687, appears one “Laurens Janse,
- natur” who also appears later in a list of inhabitants of New Utrecht,
- 1698, as having a wife, three children, and two slaves. (Hist. of
- Kings Co.) He it is who, on Brooklyn Dutch Church records appears as
- follows: “1696 Jannetje, child of Laurens Janse and Hendrikje Jacobse;
- Witnesses Stoffel Gerritse and Annetje Jans,” and also in a deed
- “Laurens Jansen and Hendrickse, his wife, both of the Yellowhook, Town
- of New Utrecht, Kings Co. N. Y. to William Matysen of Brooklyn N. Y.,”
- dated 8 May 1708, consideration £412–0 Acknowledged 21 March 17¹⁸⁄₁₉
- recorded in Liber 4 of conveyances page 207 Kings Co. Registers Office
- conveying land on Yellowhook consisting of 66 acres. It is this
- Laurens Jansen that Mr. Tunis G. Bergen confounds with our Laurens
- Janz (de Camp) in his work (Early Settlers of Kings Co.), and has
- erroneously attributed to him several of the children of our Laurens
- Janz de Camp. A careful examination of the names of parents and
- witnesses on the original Flatbush and Brooklyn Dutch Church records
- (Onderdonk’s copy, in Long Island Hist. Soc.) shows the excusable
- error of Mr. Bergen. It is a curious fact, however, that our Laurens
- Janz de Camp and this Laurens Jansen should both live at New Utrecht
- between 1670–1700.
-
- (D.) Another Laurens Jansen appears indirectly in N. Y. Dutch Church
- records, viz.: “1659 June 19 Jan Gervon van Beaumont in Walslant,
- Soldaet en Lÿsbeth Hendricks Wed^e van Laurens Janzen Deenmarken” (_i.
- e._ a Dane).
-
- Here, then, we find no less than four other Laurens Jansen in New
- Amsterdam living contemporaneously with our Laurens Jansen De Camp and
- apparently in no way related to him.
-
-Footnote 5:
-
- NOTE.—Elsie de Mandeville was the daughter of Gillis Jansen de
- Mandeviel from Garder, Holland, who emigrated to New Amsterdam in
- February, 1659, on the ship De Trouw (Faith), a private trader going
- to Manhattan, which sailed 13 February, 1659, with near one hundred
- passengers, but no French except one—“De Ruine.”
-
- It has been suggested that this single French emigrant was Laurens
- Jansen de Camp “de Rouen,” _i. e._, that the passenger whose name is
- left blank or cannot be deciphered in the original list was “from
- Rouen,” a city in the province of Normandy, France. While there is no
- substantial proof of the above contention it is based upon reason as
- it is known that Laurens Jansen de Camp came from Normandy, and that
- there was a De Camp family in that city, one member of which, Jean de
- Camp, a saddler, was killed there during the St. Bartholomew massacre,
- August 1572.
-
- The name “Gillis Janzen” erroneously appears in a list of passengers
- on the ship “Moesman” which sailed in April, 1659, and it was long
- supposed that this was another person of the same name. (Doc. Hist. of
- N. Y.) An examination of the original document now on file at Albany,
- N. Y., proves conclusively that this “Gillis Janzen” is recorded not
- as a passenger, but as one itemized in the ship manifest against whom
- a charge is made for a small sum of money advanced by the direction of
- the Dutch West India Company. Gillis Jansen de Mandeville brought over
- with him his wife Altje (Pieters or Hendricks), and four children,
- viz.: (1) Hendrick Gillis, born in Gelderland; (2) Gerretje Gillis;
- (3) Aeltje Gillis; (4) Jan Gillis; and it is presumed that two
- children (5) Tyntje Gillis, and (6) David Gillis, were born later at
- Flatbush, N. Y. He died between 1696–1701, leaving a will dated 15th
- September 1696, proved 1701, in New York County, Liber 2 of Wills,
- page 109. In it he calls himself of Greenwich, N. Y. (an outlying
- district of the city), and mentions his wife Elsie Mandeville, eldest
- son Hendrick, son David, daughter Tynte, wife of Corn Jansen De Veer
- (should be “van der Veer”), daughter Altje, wife of Lawrence Johnson
- (meant for Laurens Jansen de Camp), daughter Perette, wife of Peter
- Mutt; daughter Geritie, wife of John Muthel.
-
- The original will, on file in the New York Surrogate’s Office, is
- written in English, and bears a wax seal upon which a coat of arms or
- crest can be traced, resembling a horse rampant.
-
-Footnote 6:
-
- NOTE.—The above Laurence De Camp has been placed as a son of Gideon^3
- (Laurence^2, John^1), but there is no proof that such was his descent.
- The fact of his marriage date being about 1752 would indicate that he
- was not identical with Laurence^4 De Camp (Gideon^3, Laurence^2,
- John^1), baptized at Staten Island 1719, June 7. Witnesses Laurence de
- Camp and Altje Mandeviel. But he has been so placed until future data
- proves this assumption true or erroneous.
-
-Footnote 7:
-
- NOTE.—The names of children of Aaron^5 De Camp not mentioned in will
- were furnished by Geo. E. De Camp, of Roseland, N. J., his
- great-grandson.
-
-Footnote 8:
-
- NOTE.—The name of his son Eliphalet^6 is not mentioned in this
- petition, but is learned from a deed of Abraham Reynolds, sheriff, to
- Zophar Hatfield, dated 17 September, 1823, and recorded in Newark, N.
- J., in Book P2, page 542.
-
-Footnote 9:
-
- NOTE.—He may be identical with that Enoch De Camp of Morris Co., N.
- J., mentioned in N. J. Pension Rolls of Revolutionary War as dying 19
- April, 1832, aged 75 years.
-
-Footnote 10:
-
- NOTE.—At Troy, N. Y., the Rev. Jonas Coe baptized a Sally de Camp on 2
- November, 1816; a Christina de Camp on 3 August, 1817; he married a
- Cinderilla de Camp to Matthew Nobles on 30 January, 1809.
-
-Footnote 11:
-
- NOTE.—If he was aged 96 at death it would make his birth 1757. This,
- however, is an error for he was baptized 1764, and probably was born
- at earliest in 1763. The fact is curious as showing how erroneous a
- family statement of old age can be.
-
-Footnote 12:
-
- NOTE.—There is a curious family tradition that the Rousseaus were
- related to the philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau of France, and that
- the ancestor of Dr. Alexander Rousseau and the ancestor of Henry De
- Camp came over in the same ship from France. The Rousseau family claim
- that the father of Dr. Alexander Rousseau was born in Bordeaux,
- France, and was the first of his name to come to America. All the “De
- Camp” data, however, is to the contrary, and goes to disprove the
- Rousseau traditions and claims, and the ancestors of Henry De Camp had
- been in America since 1664. There is a strong probability that the
- Troy “Rousseau” family were closely related to, if not identical with
- the great “Roosa” family of Kingston, N. Y., which intermarried
- several times with the Freer family of New Paltz and Kingston, N. Y.,
- and when the members of said “Roosa” family removed to Troy the name
- was corrupted or changed to “Rousseau.” Curiously enough there were
- “Rousseau” and “Rozet” names recorded in N. Y. French Church records
- about 1680, and the Staten Island Dutch Church record contains a birth
- record of a child of one Peter Ruisseau and —— Mesereau. As Staten
- Island Church records contain many De Camp names this is a significant
- coincidence.
-
-Footnote 13:
-
- NOTE.—Eve De Camp who married Robert McCullen, was the maternal great
- grandmother of the compiler of this record.
-
-Footnote 14:
-
- NOTE.—Either this Moses (or his cousin) was in Col. Chas. Webb’s 19th
- Cont. Army, Capt. Bostwicks’ Co. who crossed the Delaware Xmas 1776,
- Adjt.-Gen. Johnstone (Com.) Roster of Troops, including some N. J.
- troops. Morris of Westfield, N. J., where Moses came from (in roll is
- called Moses Camp).
-
-Footnote 15:
-
- NOTE.—These children are given by Miss Wilson of Elgin, Ill., and must
- have died before the will was made.
-
-Footnote 16:
-
- NOTE.—An admirable compilation of these Ohio De Camp families has been
- made by James M. De Camp, of Cincinnati, Ohio, entitled “Record of the
- Descendants of Ezekiel and Mary Baker De Camp, of Butler County,
- Ohio,” which was printed and published by the Western Methodist Book
- Concern, Cincinnati, O., in 1896 (pages 177), and to which reference
- is directed. As a record has been made of these De Camps of Butler
- Co., the compiler of the within work has not incorporated this branch
- of the general De Camp family into the present compilation.
-
-Footnote 17:
-
- NOTE.—It may be that this Gideon^6 De Camp was not a son of Morris^5
- De Camp (John^4, Henry^3, Laurence^2, John^1). He could not be
- identical with Gideon^4 (Henry^3, Laurence^2, John^1), baptized 1721,
- May 21, or with Gideon^4 (Gideon^3, Laurence^2, John^1) baptized 1727,
- Oct. 15. He is clearly a grandson of Henry^3 (Laurence^2, John^1), but
- the fact that he was a physician in good circumstances owning several
- valuable tracts of land at Elizabeth, Westfield, and Rahway, is
- indicative that he might not be identical with the Gideon^6 (Morris^5,
- John^4, Henry^3, Laurence^2, John^1) mentioned in Sheriff’s Deed,
- Isaac Ward, Sheriff, to Moses Jacques, dated 11 Jan. 1804, recorded
- Newark Registry in Book H. of Deeds, page 522, as one against whose
- land a judgment writ of fi. fa. was issued and under which the land
- was seized and sold.
-
-Footnote 18:
-
- NOTE.—The above De Camp line was furnished by James A. De Camp of 95
- Reade street, N. Y. city, who states that perhaps Elihu De Camp was a
- son of Lemuel De Camp. This, however, the lineal descendants of Lemuel
- De Camp deny, and no mention is made of such a son in the will of
- Hannah De Camp, widow of said Lemuel De Camp. Mr. De Camp further
- states that Elihu De Camp had another daughter Mary, but if so she is
- not mentioned in either her father’s or mother’s will. It therefore
- remains to trace out the father of Elihu De Camp.

-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by

-and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
