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.
