CAMP, Jonathan,
Manufacturer.
Among the self-made men of Hartford,
Mr. Camp has attained at a comparatively
early age a prominent position among his
contemporaries, and has justified the
promise of a long line of worthy an-
cestory. He is descended from John
Camp, Sr., who resided at Nazing, Essex,
England, seventeen miles from London,
near the river Lea, and died in 1630.

His will, made May 21, was proved June
11, 1630, and in this he devised three
pounds to his son, Nicholas. He married,
in 1573, Mary, whose surname is not of
record.
Their third son was Nicholas Camp,
called younger in England and senior in
America, born 1597. In his time there
were several Nicholas Camps in and
about Nazing, and he was called the
younger to distinguish him from a
cousin, who was somewhat older. In
the section where he lived in America
he was the senior, and that was naturally
his title. In 1638 he came from Nazing
to this country, lived for a time at Water-
town, Massachusetts, subsequently at
Wethersfield, Connecticut, in 1639 was at
Guilford, Connecticut, and as early as
1646 had a house lot of six acres, two
other parcels, and one right in the township
of Milford, Connecticut. His name
appears on the list of free planters of
that town, dated November 20, 1639, and
he joined the church there with his wife
Sarah, November 2, 1643. His wife Sarah,
who accompanied him from England,
died September 6, 1645, the first adult
buried in the town of Milford. Her grave
was made in the garden of her pastor,
Rev. P. Prudden. Nicholas Camp married
(second) Edith, widow of John
Tilley, of Windsor, Connecticut. The
date of his death is unknown.
His son, Nicholas, (2) Camp, born in
April, 1627, in Nazing, was a prominent
citizen of Milford, which town he rep-
resented in the General Assembly in 1670-
71-72. He was taxed on property valued
at £199, in 1686, conducted a store at the
west end, and was accepted an inhabit-
ant of Derby, Connecticut, where he re-
ceived a grant of land in May, 1673, but
did not reside there. He died at Milford,
June 10, 1706. He married, July 14, 1652,
