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.
