born 1744 at Westfield, N. J. He was a physician and owned lands near
Westfield, N. J. He is buried on the road between Westfield and Rahway,
N. J., in a wood, and his tombstone reads “died December 18, 1815, age
71.” He left a will probated at Newark, N. J. It is dated 6 Dec. 1813,
proved 13 Jan. 1816, in Liber B. of Wills, page 189, and states he was
of Essex County, N. J.; mention is made of 4 grandchildren, viz. John,
Louisa, Gideon, and Juliet De Hart. The codicil, dated 23 Feb. 1814,
strikes out the name of David S. Craig as executor. The executors under
the will were Ralph Phillips of Maidenhead, Hunt Co., N. J., and David
S. Craig of Rahway, N. J. Witnesses were Fletcher M. Brooke, Lewis
Terrill, and Noah Frazee. The will was proved a second time on 3d June,
1816, Liber B. of Wills, page 189, as at the time of the first probate
Ralph Phillips was out of the State of New Jersey.

guardian of Mary Eliza Coe, infant daughter of Edward M. Coe, son of
Rev. Jonas Coe, D. D. The letters of guardianship were recorded 1830,
June 7, and the age of the infant is stated therein to be one year, as
is certified by Eve Ripley (_i. e._, the former widow of Robert
McCullen, of Troy, N. Y.). Abram De Camp was for some time engaged in
stationery business in Wall street, but failed and retired to
Washington, where he lived with his brother Sidney. He died at
Washington and is buried in Glenwood Cemetery, just north of that city.
