The Project Gutenberg eBook of De Camp Genealogy, Compiled by George Austin Morrison, Jr.

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 4had 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.

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 6the 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 7and 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 8any 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 inhabitant at Geneva on 4th September 1572.

Jean de Camp, a native of Montauban, setting out from Moulins (about 1572) with two gentlemen, was seized and hung near that city, with his companions.

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 9the 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.

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.”

Francois du Camp was prosecutor and counsellor in the Seneschal’s Office at Boulogne in 1558.

Antoine du Camp, son of John and Antoine du Camp, son of Robert, declared their fiefs at Boulogne in 1572.

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 11Nicholas, 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 12facts: 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 13the 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 14English 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 15of “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 Laurence² De Camp, the son of John¹ 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 16were 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.

17He 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 18all 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 19same 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.

212 John³ De Camp (Laurence², John¹) 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.

3 Henry³ De Camp (Laurence², John¹) was born at New Utrecht, N. Y., about 1682. He married on 17 Apl. 1704, at Dutch Church in New York City Maria de Lamars. The record runs “1704 Mar. 30, Hendrik de Kamp j. m. van N. Utrecht wonende of Staten Ylandt met Maria de Lamars j. f. van de Bowery: Getrouvt 1704 Apl. 17.” In the census of New York, 1703, is found “Old Ward: Walter Lamas 1 Female child. 1 Male over 60 years of age.” It is evident that Walter Lamas was the grandfather of Henry de Camp’s wife. Hendrick De Camp (sic) left a will dated 4 June, 1771, proved 10 Aug. 1771, in Middlesex Co., N. J., in which he calls himself of Woodbridge, N. J., and mentions a wife Mary; a son Henry; great grandson Ezekiel, son of grandson Lawrence; daughter Aliche (Altje) Lovel; to his disrespectful son Lambert 10 shillings; a son John; a daughter Christian Woodroffe; a grandson, son of his son Benjamin, deceased; also a granddaughter, child of his son Benjamin, deceased; grandson Joseph, son of his son Lambert. In case of any controversy of his will he appoints his friend Joseph Shotwell of Rahway, as 23mediator. Names as executors his son John and his friend and neighbor William Smith. The witnesses were William Marsh, Josiah Stansberry and David De Camp. His children were as follows:

4 Gideon³ De Camp (Laurent², John¹) was born at Flatbush, Long Island, about March 1683. He was baptized there on 8 April, 1683, and had as witnesses his uncle and aunt Hendrick (Gillis) Mandeviel and Aratie (Peters) Mandeviel. He married Henrietta Ellis, daughter of Bastian and Sarah Ellis (?). On 27 July, 1714, as Gidie Van Campen he and Styntje Christoffel were witnesses at baptism of Geesie, child of Rut van der Bergh, at Staten Island. In 1715 Giedie Van Campen and Elsie Van Campen were witnesses at baptism of Aeltie, child of Hendrick Van Campen, at Staten Island. On 12th Sept. 1717, Gydon Van Campen and wife were witnesses at baptism at Staten Island, by Dom. Freeman, of Gillis, child of Cobus Creven. On 30 April, 1721, Gideon de Camp and Hendrikje Elles were witnesses at baptism of Femmetje, child of Cornelis Egmont and Elsje de Camp, at Staten Island. On 24th July, 1743, Gedejon Decamp and Hendrikje Decamp were witnesses at baptism at New Brunswick, N. J., of child of Bastejan Ellis and Sarah, his wife. Gideon De Camp must have removed to New Brunswick, N. J., about 1735, for on 27 Nov. 1735, he signed the rules of the New Brunswick Dutch Church as “Gyedieion De Camp” and in the Pew List he appeared as the owner of Pew Seats Nos. 16, 17, and 18.

One Bastian Ellis of Staten Island, Richmond Co., N. Y., left a will dated 25 Mar. 1760, proved 2 Dec. 1763, recorded Liber 24 of Wills, page 227, in N. Y. Co., in which is mentioned wife “Sary” and children Cornelis, 25Bastian, Catran, Sarah, Eagye, Areeanche, Hendrickai and Mary. Whether he was the father or brother-in-law of Gideon De Camp is as yet undetermined.

5 Aaron⁴ De Camp (John³, Laurence², John¹) died about 1788, leaving following issue:

26The names of his children are learned from a Petition of Aaron De Camp, dated 23 Jan. 1790 (No. 427 Newark Probate Office), to partition the lands of his father Aaron De Camp, who died 1788.

6 Lambert⁴ De Camp (Henry³, Laurence², John¹) was baptized at Staten Island on 17 Apl. 1711. Witnesses: Johannes Van Campen and wife Mary (his uncle and aunt). He married Mary ——, and must have died about 1790. His will is dated 4 Oct. 1784, and was proved 4 Oct. 1790. In it he speaks of himself as of Elizabeth Boro, Essex Co., N. J., a son of Hendrick De Camp. He gives to his son Henry certain lands in Somerset Co., N. J.; to son Lambert lands in Essex Co., N. J.

8 John⁴ De Camp (Henry³, Laurence³, John¹), born 1715, was baptized at Staten Island 1717, April 17, by Dom. Antonius. Sponsors: Claas Baeker and Marytie Van Campen. He must have married and removed to Woodbridge or Elizabeth, N. J., about 1735, for he owned a plantation at Elizabeth. This is mentioned in a deed of Isaac Ward, sheriff, to Moses Jacques, dated 11 January, 1804, recorded in Newark Register’s Office in Book H. of Deeds, page 522, as follows: “Which said tract of land and premises are that part of the homestead and plantation formerly of John De Camp, deceased, and afterwards divided off to Morris De Camp, and by him conveyed to his son Gideon De Camp.”

28John⁴ De Camp was buried on the road between Westfield and Rahway, in a wood, near the grave of his brother Benjamin⁴ De Camp. His tombstone reads: “Died Oct. 23, 1782, age 67.”

(File No. 427, Probate Office Records) to have division of lands left by his father, Aaron De Camp. Mentions his father’s death in 1788, leaving ten children, viz., Aaron (the petitioner), Moses, John, Job, Levi, Lot, Mary, Sarah, Amy, Docia and Aaron Stephen, Moses, and Ludlow Squier and Sarah, wife of Jacob Tingley, all children of Jemima, daughter of Aaron De Camp (who died 1788), who died before her father.

Aaron⁵ De Camp died about 1827, leaving a will not dated but proved 29 March, 1827 (Liber D. of Wills, p. 465), Newark, N. J., Probate Office.

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 married Dr. Alexander Rousseau ^[12] of Troy, N.

Evening Post, 26th Oct. 1844, contains notice of his death and the Morning Courier and N. Y. Enquirer, 26th Oct. 1844, contains following obituary notice.

“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 44officers, 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. 13 Grove Street, at half-past four o’clock.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

17. Note.—It may be that this Gideon⁶ De Camp was not a son of Morris⁵ De Camp (John⁴, Henry³, Laurence², John¹). He could not be identical with Gideon⁴ (Henry³, Laurence², John¹), baptized 1721, May 21, or with Gideon⁴ (Gideon³, Laurence², John¹) baptized 1727, Oct. 15. He is clearly a grandson of Henry³ (Laurence², John¹), 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 Gideon⁶ (Morris⁵, John⁴, Henry³, Laurence², John¹) 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.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ 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™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ 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™ and future generations.

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™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ 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™, 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.
