Dear Madam:
I advise you from the records of this bureau, it appears that James W. Camp and Dorothy C. Camp, guardians of the minor heirs of John H. Camp, deceased, executed a power of attorney, September 25, 1832, in Giles County, Tennessee, in order to obtain any compensation that might be due from the state of Virginia or United States Government, under the Act of May 30, 1830.
This act was for the benefit of soldiers of the Virginia Line and Navy and of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, and of their heirs.
There is no description whatever of the service of John or John H. Camp.
Since this act provided for the issuance of scrip by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, this bureau has no record of the final disposition of the claim.
The will of John Camp was probated in Giles County, Tennessee, at the May term of Court in 1820. In said will he referred to his wife, Martha, and to two sons: John H. Camp and James W. Camp.
In 1833, the following are referred to as heirs at law of John Camp: James W. Camp; Elizabeth W. Camp; Sarah I. Camp; Mary Ann Camp; James T. Camp; Martha, wife of William C. Flournoy; Maria, wife of Albert Yeager.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
