In 1783 among the Loyalists who came from the United States to these provinces was Abiathor CAMP. His home was in New Haven prior to his coming to New Brunswick. He was a sea captain, as was his father before him. Being true to British laws and institutions, he left his home and settled on the Jemseg. Being a man of ability and wealth, he lived like a prince at his home in this beautiful spot. In 1841 he died leaving behind him ten children. The sons were Abiathor CAMP, George CAMP, John CAMP and James CAMP. The daughters were Starry CAMP who became Mrs. DYKEMAN; Rebecca CAMP who married a BURLOCK; Mary CAMP who married a CURREY; Rachel CAMP and Abbia CAMP who became, in turn, the 1st and 2nd wives of Solomon HERSEY; and Sally CAMP who married a Mr. BLAIR. In a home on Grand Lake there is a family record of the second son, George. This record is as follows: George Camp b. April 18, 1791 d. May 11, 1850. Mary FERRIS b. July 20, 1801; married Feb. 14, 1818. Then follows a list of children: John, James, Abigail, Rebecca J., George W., Sarah E., Rachael, Mary, Abiathor and Mariah - in all 9 children. Abigail CAMP, the second child, died in her third year. The oldest of the family, John J. CAMP was born in 1819 and the youngest, Mariah CAMP was born in 1844. These eight children and mother are still living. Their ages are as follows: Mrs. George Camp, mother of the family, is in her 93rd year. John J. Camp is in his 74th year. Rebecca J. is now Mrs. Archilus BELYEA, a widow, in her 69th year; Geo. W. CAMP is in his 66th year; Sarah E. CAMP, unmarried, is in her 64th year; Rachael CAMP, now Mrs. McLEOD, widow, is in her 62nd year; Mary CAMP, now Mrs. George R. BELYEA is in her 60th year; Abiathor CAMP is in his 51st year and Mariah CAMP, unmarried, is in her 49th year. It will be observed that no death has occurred in this family since 1850. The writer visited the mother and nearly all of the eight children in this present month and found them all in excellent health. Mrs. Geo. Camp, mother of this family, lives with two of her daughters on the shore of Grand Lake. She is a cripple with rheumatism; still she manages to feed herself with one of her hands. Her faculties are almost wholly unimpaired. She has a retentive memory, a quick hearing and can enjoy most heartily a good joke. She was one of thirteen children. Most of them lived to be well ripe in years, but they are all dead, and the husbands and wives of their brothers and sisters are dead. She often feels lonely and wonders why God spared her life. She has been a great sufferer, but bears all her pain with wonderful patience, resting with confidence on the promises of her Saviour.
