I have very little
information on this family. The further back records are much
harder to
come by. The only proof for this material comes from papers in
the
possession of Judge Zelma Price, publish by Col. Neville Mann.
Her
research was published in 1958. This same source is cited also
by Russ
Williams. Several researchers have assumed that they were
married in
Westmoreland County, Virginia but no records have been found
to verify
this. [Williams, p. 6]
Although Thomas Camp
was
born and lived most of his married life in King and Queen Co.,
Virginia. In his last years he moves his family to Culpepper
County.
They seemed to have lived a quiet life. I have found no
records on this
family but have depended on the research of others.
Mary Marshall was not
mentioned in her father's will, however, old documents once in
the
possession of Judge Zelma W. Price, late of Greenwood,
Mississippi,
stated that she was a daughter. "These documents also related
that Mary
Marshall Camp's mother Martha Sherwood Marshall died in the
home of her
'son-in-law' Thomas Camp on the "4th of July 1749.' [Mann.
v.1,p. 6]
It
is also alleged that Thomas married Mary in Westmoreland
County, but
since
no records exists in that county, their marriage must have
taken place
in King and Queen, no doubt the place of her residence at
marriage
time. With her brother William Marshall inheriting the
Marshall estate,
he probably became the guardian to the children not named in
the Will.
He removed to King and Queen County, not long after his
father's death.
As he moved he sold the old family estate in Westmoreland
County to his
brother John Marshall, land that lay in 'Washington Parish' in
Westmoreland County, Virginia. [King: Marriages of Richmond
Co., VA. p.
129, He used Westmoreland County, COB 1698-1705, p. 268a;
D&W#3,
p.232; and D&W#3, p. 268a and D&W#8, p. 923; as proof
for these
statements). [Williams p. 6]
