Note 1: Concerning William STARLING,
from Russ E. Williams, The Kemp, Turner, and

"William STARLING probably
came to the colonies as an indentured servant and
was one of nine persons brought to the colonies
by Jonathan Gills prior to March 6, 1647
(Virginia Patent Book, 2, p. 112. [Also see
Nugent, Cavaliers and Pioneers, vol. 1,
p.170.] Gills received a land grant of 450 acres
on Higer's Creek in Northhampton County for
transporting this group. It should have taken
William STARLING five to seven years to free
himself from his indenturedness putting his
freedom at about 1654. "1658 - William
STARLING leases 160 acres for 99 years from John
Smith of Nuswattocks. This land was originally
patented by Henry Pendenden later tranfered to
George Smith and George Smith transfering to John
Smith. It was located in Northampton County near
Cowpen Branch and lands previously held by
Jonathan Gills.
"1660, September 20 - William is a member
of the Hungars Parish Register when he now feels
possible to marry Margaret Edwards. [Hungars
Parish Register Returns for 1660-61, William and Mary College Quarterly
Historical Magazine, Vol. 18, No. 3. (January
1910), p. 180.]
"1665 - William purchases 120 from
William and Anne Mellinge, "part of the
Thomas GRAVES 200 acre patent, which lay
on_______."
"1668 - He purchased another 200 acres
from Henry Rosee which had been part of a patent
of John Sturgis and lay adjacent to a 300 acres
patent issued to Edward Smith on the Machipongo
Creek.
"1672 - He purchased another 300 acres of
a 600 acre patent of Daniel Foxcroft then of
Elizabeth City County. He is described as a
"cooper" in these documents. With these
several purchases he becomes part of the
"landed class."
"William STARLING was one the early
colonial leaders who addressed a long protest
over the act to the Colony's House of Burgesses.
in 1675. Their protest was over the division of
their county for the benefit of a few , the lack
of protection from the Indians, sale of liquor
near the courthouse, and the exemption of some
from paying their fair share of the taxes. They
further demanded freedom from some many features
which also went against their ideas of proper
social behavior and a better court system."

Note 2: William STARLING and Elizabeth EDWARDS
were married, in Hungars Parish, Northampton County,
Virginia on 20 September 1660, eight days after the
marriage of John NUTHALL IV and Jane JOHNSON, also in
Hungars Parish, on 12 September 1660. [ See G0500A: John NUTHALL IV [of CROSS MANOR] in Antecedents and Descendants of John Nuthall of

Note 3: From the Camp
Bulletin, vol. I, no. 1, p. 3, August 1923:
| |
"The historical data and
records of the CAMP family about to be published
at last, were compiled as a labor of love at
great personal sacrifice by the late William
Allie CAMP. Although he was born in Bradley
County, Arkansas, January 11, 1852, and died in
Boaz, Alabama, October 12, 1906, his life was
spent in three Georgia cities, Dalton, Atlanta,
and Augusta. He was the son of William Addison
CAMP (son of Aaron), and married Miss Sallie
SHEPPARD of West Point, Georgia, who survives
him.
"Thomas CAMP, of Virginia, born in 1691,
married a Miss MARSHALL, of that State. They had
three sons: first, Thomas; second John; third,
Marshall. John and Marshall were officers in the
revolutionary army in Virginia. Thomas CAMP was
too old for the army, but he had several sons and
grandsons who served gallantly. He was born
February 8, 1717. This name of his first wife was
Winifred STARLING. They had eleven sons and one
daughter . . . ." |
Note 4: From Col. Robt. Neville Mann
and Catherine Creek-Mann, Camp-Kemp Family History
(1969), vol. II, pp. 17 - 18:
| |
"The burial ground for
Thomas CAMP is 'ten miles from the picturesque
Island Ford on Broad river. . . . A lone, weather
beaten apple tree, crowning an eminence in a
cotton field, marks the site of the original home
while hard by is the rambling, comfortable farm
house 'Joshua's Home' built around the final
dwelling of Thomas, Senior, of logs
"veneered" with lumber. "'Between
these and the creek, whose torrent rushing over a
rocky bed once hummed with the busy wheel of the
mill, in the midst of a large corn field, is the
family burial bround, consisting of a dozen
graves in a row. There lie the remains of our
famous progenitor between his second wife,
Margaret Carney CAMP, and son, Cranshaw, or
"Granger," who died unmarried. Neat
headstones and a cedar designate the graves of
Joshua and wife Nancy Gregory, a growth of aspen
bushes and box ivy vine riot over the others.
"'The present owner of the land has
plowed as near the head and foot stones as
possible and burned cornstalks upon the grave at
the head of which is a granite boulder marked
"T. Camp, Born 1717, Died 1798."
Nowithstanding, the deed specifies that one acre
shall be reserved for burial purposes, A rail
fence once enclosed this acre but a freshet in
the "Eighteen Forties" washed it
away.'"
|
Note 5: From Elroy Christenson, The
American Revolution: South Carolina History:
| |
"Thomas CAMP's five sons who
settled in Laurens and Greenville Counties fought
in the battles of King's Mountain in September of
1780 and in the cattle-grazing area known as
Cowpens in October 1781. The battle of King's
Mountain saw the defeat of the left wing of
Cornwallis's army and the patriots' victory at
the Cowpens enraged Cornwallis even further. This
battle is the battle shown in the recent Mel
Gibson film The Patriot. Thomas CAMP,
Jr. enlisted for the cause and probably fought at
the battle of King's Mountain. Lt. John CAMP was
probably at King's Mountain under Colonel
Benjamin Roebuck. Reverend Joseph CAMP was
arrested as a spy by General Cornwallis.
Nathaniel CAMP was also at King's Mountain and
perhaps killed the British brevet Lieutenant
Colonel Patrick Ferguson (1744 - 1780).
Nathaniel's son had Ferguson's conch-shell battle
horn which later became part of the collection of
the Daughters of the American Revolution. Thomas,
Sr. was probably too old but did provide supplies
to the revolution and was said to have had his
mill and house at Island Ford on the Broad River
taken over by the British and burned. Thomas's
brothers were also supporters of the revolution.
William C. CAMP wrote much later, 'many of the
early settlers of the up-country were of English
extraction and dissenters of the established
Church of the mother country.'" |
Note 6: From Col. Robt. Neville Mann
and Catherine Creek-Mann, Camp-Kemp Family History
(1969), vol. II, p. 19:

"The bridge on U. S. Route
221 between Chesnee, South Carolina and
Rutherfordton, North Carolina over the Broad
River bisects the island. The Broad River is
approximately one-half mile north of the North
Carolina - South Carolina line at this point. The
island is approximately one half acre in size in
the middle of the river. The old road, long
before the present road and bridge, crossed the
river and island at this point hence the name
'Island Ford.' By the height of the water on the
rocks on the island the early settlers could
determine whether the river was fordable. " |
Note 7: From Col. Robt. Neville Mann
and Catherine Creek-Mann, Camp-Kemp Family History
(1969), vol. II, p. 22:

"Revolutionary Army
Accounts, Vol. IX, page 11, folio 3, North
Carolina Archives, lists Thomas Kemp as receiving
sum of money with interest. These records contain
incomplete pay records of the Revolutionary
period, denoting that some product or service.
These records do NOT prove military service
unless they carry this information, and many of
them do not indicate for what purpose payment was
made. These records do NOT give any personal
information. Usually payment was for civil
service, military service, or the sale of
supplies to the army." |
