NOTES
1 _UID FB59EAFD7CCF374C84D94D6D1D2A425801DF In a deed dated Nov 1, 1715, Samuel Camp of Milford conveyed to his son, Enos, the land which he, Samuel, had bought from his brother, Edward Camp, Jr.
Notes for LT. SAMUEL CAMP, LT:*Samuel Camp was the son of Edward and Mary (Canfield ) Camp. He was born in Milford, CT. and lived his entire life there.
Samuel was a mason by trade.
In 1697 he was Sergeant in the Second Train Band in Milford. In October 1698 he was officially appointed Lieutenant (of the Band) by the General Court.
He used this title often with his name; in fact, he used it on his marriage record three years earlier.
It also help to distinguish him from the other Samuel Camp who was a son of Nicholas Camp.
This Samuel was chosen a Deacon of the church about 1709 and used that title thereafter.
He was one of the proprietors of New Milford but did not move there.
He married (1) Hannah Betts, Daughter of Thomas Betts of Norwalk on 13 Nov. 1672.
She was born 12 Nov. 1652 at Guilford and died January 1680.
Samuel married (2) Mary Camp, daughter of William Camp on 10 Oct 1682. She was born in Milford on 22 Mar. 1663 and died in 1691.
He then married (3) Rebecca Atkinson.
In 1691 he was overseer of the estate of Nathaniel Briscoe, husband of his sister, Mary. In a record pertaining to this, he was referred to as "Samuel Camp Senr, her brother." In a deed dated Nov 1, 1715, Samuel Camp of Milford conveyed to his son, Enos, the land which he, Samuel, had bought from his brother, Edward Camp, Jr.
Since there are no Edward Camps coming from the Nicholas Camp lineage, Samuel is know to be the son of Edward Camp.
Samuel's death is documented by his grandson, the Reverend Samuel Camp: "My honored grandfather died Jan 27, 1736, in the 91st year of his age." Samuel is very clearly documented as the son of Edward Camp in "Camp, Jones and Related Families" by Nell Jones Carter.
At the age of 10, Samuel was baptized on 15 Sep 1655.

Notes:

From writeup on wikitree at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Canfield-600:

MARY CANFIELD was born in abt 1622. He married Mary Canfield in 1643 in Milford, Connecticut. [1] [2] They had four children in 10 years. [3] She then married second JOHN LANE about 1660, in Milford, Connecticut. [4] She died before February 22, 1680, the date her estate's inventory was taken, in Milford, Connecticut, at the age of abt 58, and was buried there. [5]

'From The Ancestry and Descendants of Frederick Tracy Camp... page 2

At Branford on 15 Nov. 1660 the testimony of John Burwell [of Milford] was taken concerning a stray horse then in possession of Josias Ward of Branford demanded by John Nash of New Haven. He stated that "myself and my Cosen Edward Camp who was then living, this winter three years past, saw a colt with John Nash's mare." This was John Burwell, who must have been near Edward Camp in age, so the term "cousin" was probably used in the sense of first cousin rather than nephew. However, it may have been Edward's wife who was the actual cousin of John Burwell. She was MARY______, and her will made "Brother Canfield" an overseer. While this may have meant brother in the church, it is quite possible that she was a sister of Thomas Canfield of Milford. The Canfields, like the Burwells, were from Hitchin, Hertfordshire. If the father of John Burwell was uncle of Thomas Canfield and of Mary wife of Edward Camp, or if his mother was their aunt, these expression of relationship would be explained.

Edward's widow Mary married second, 4 Apr. 1662, being called "widow Camp that lived at Chestnut Hill," John Lane of Milford. He was a widower, with a son Isaac and daughter Sarah, wife of Jobanah Gunn. Lane's will, dated 11 Sept. 1669, made beuest to his sons-in-law [stepsons' Samuel and Edward Camp and daughter-in-law [stepdaughter' Mary Camp; and the codicil written the following day remembered his daughter-in-law [stepdaughter] Mercy Baldwin; son Isaac Lane and son-in-law Jobamah Gunn; brother William East.

Mary Lane died in 1680/1 and her will, dated 22 Feb. 1680, named her sons Samuel and Edward Camp, and daughters Mercy Baldwin, Mary Briscoe, and Mehitabel Camp [the last, the wife of her son Edward]; daughter-in-law [step-daughter] Sarah Gunn and son-in-law Jobamah Gunn [husband of Sarah Land]. Sher made Brother Canfield and John Fiske overseers of her will.

Note: Her will[6] (undated, linked below on Ancestry) mentions children SAMUEL, EDWARD, MERCY BRISCOE, and MARY BALDWIN. She mentions SON IN LAW JOBAMAH GUNN and DAUGHTER IN LAW SARAH LANE GUNN and their children. She also mentions DAUGHTER MEHITABEL, which actually a daughter-in-law, the wife of EDWARD?

Her inventory was taken on 22 February 1680/81 and recorded in New Haven.[6]
