The following is a newspaper article regarding Camp Security. I wanted to pass it along for any who did not see it. Bill could provide funding for Camp Security Friends of Camp Security still interested in a parcel owned by developer Tim Pasch. By TERESA ANN BOECKEL Daily Record/Sunday News Updated: 07/23/2011 11:42:47 PM EDT York, PA - A bill introduced in Congress earlier this month could help save more land where historians believe a Revolutionary War prison camp once stood in Springettsbury Township. The bill proposes $10 million annually for 10 years to acquire and protect nationally significant battlefields and associated sites of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Camp Security, which is off Locust Grove Road, has been nationally recognized twice as one of the most historically significant and endangered sites. Several years ago, it was listed as one of 26 sites that is a priority for preservation in a 114-page report to Congress about the historic preservation of Revolutionary War and War of 1812 sites. Carol Tanzola, president of the Friends of Camp Security, said the proposed bill is good news. Providing funding to save the historical sites was talked about when the report to Congress came out. Officials have preserved a 116-acre farm where historians believe the camp once stood. The Conservation Fund bought the property and turned it over to the township in May. But historians also think part of the camp lies on a neighboring 65-acre parcel, owned by developer Tim Pasch. His plans to build houses on it has sparked controversy. A limited archeological dig in 1979 revealed artifacts, such as pottery shards, buttons and gold coins. "It's still on the radar screen," Tanzola said of Pasch's property. "That's the last piece really because everything else is developed." Pasch wasn't available for comment. The wording of the bill has raised a question about which sites would be eligible for the money. The bill says it is to acquire and protect battlefields and associated sites, but it only mentions battlefields for the funding, said Tanya Gossett, a preservation planner with the National Park Service. Camp Security was a prisoner of war camp, which would be an associated property. "There's no argument as to the significance of the site," Gossett said. If the bill passes, the grants would be made available on a first-come, first-served basis, she said. The property would be acquired for fair market value. The federal government would pay half, and the applicant would pay the other half, Gossett said. In addition, the property owner must be a willing seller, the bill states. Site history Camp Security has been nationally recognized as one of the most historically significant and endangered sites. The National Trust identified it as one of the nation's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places in 2005. Several years ago, the camp was listed in a 114-page report to Congress about the historic preservation of Revolutionary War and War of 1812 sites. It was listed as a priority for preservation and was one of only five considered to be threatened in both the short and long term for being dam aged or destroyed. Blake Stough www.preservingyork.com

In an effort to help everyone understand the Rev. War pension process a little better (including myself), I found some information I wanted to pass on. Pensions are located at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., but they work with another website for people to acquire copies of pensions online. This is where I found the information I am sharing. It explains the different types of pensions, the timeline for pension laws pertaining to the Rev. War, etc. Very good information for those interested. Here is the address for this information... http://www.footnote.com/page/849_revolutionary_war_pension_files/ Blake M.

There were different requirements to qualify for different pensions at different times. I can tell you that for my ancestor, George P. DeHoff/Dayhoff, the requirements had been loosened by Congress in 1832 to include state militia members who had served for at least 6 months total during the Rev War. In George's case, he had been denied a pension because his only service was 2 months documented at Camp Security. And now I'll ask my own question in case anyone on the list knows the answer -- I am researching the families of Paul Miller and Andrew Noel, both Catholic families of York, now Adams County. I know for sure that during the French and Indian/7 Year's War that Catholics were not allowed to be part of the state militia and in fact had to turn in any weapons to authorities. I guess the fear was that they would support the Catholic French side. I haven't been able to find any of these families on York County lists during the Rev War so I assume the same held true, but have not found anything concrete that tells me so. My question would be does anyone knew whether Catholics were included in the group of dissenters, loyalists, etc...that were fined or treated differently during the Rev War?

Linda That is a very good question and I will do my best to answer it. Let me start by explaining how I obtained the pensions I have on hand. When I started researching Camp Security, I did a great deal of research at the York County Heritage Trust Library. They have a series of books, which I believe are called "York County In The Revolution". It has all types of information on local men who served in the war, including information from their pensions. At the time, I copied ALL the pages I found that referenced Camp Security, which also listed pensions for men who served there. With those records whch gave me pension numbers, I was able to acquire copies of the pensions that were referenced in the books I mentioned. If someone wants to acquire pension records from the Revolutionary War, you can do it several different ways. One way is to visit the National Archives (www.archives.gov), where you can search for the pension you are seeking and purchase a copy from them. You can also use Heritage Quest (www.heritagequest.com) and search there as well. I believe there is a membership fee for using that website, and you can download or copy the pensions from there. There is a fee for using this website. I am unsure of the requirements for a person to receive a pension, but I found very few pensions for men who served at Camp Security (I'm guessing less than 75). I search for a pension for each and every man I post on this mailing list, but have found very few that I did not already have. If someone has knowledge of the requirements that these Rev. War vets had to meet to receive a pension, I'd be interested in hearing from you. If this did not answer your question Linda, please let me know and I will try to explain better.

This is a multi-list post, so I apologize to anyone receiving multiple copies. The following 81 men are being added to my Camp Security database, and served there under Captain Peter Ford, according to the pay roll for July 8th to September 8th, 1781. These names were transcribed by me exactly as they were written in the records, so these surnames may not match your records. Also listed is their rank and if I have a pension for that person. These men not only settled in York County, but some possibly in Adams County, and also other states. I would like to be contacted if you descend from any of these people, as I am also creating a descendant database. I am also seeking information on these men for biographies I am planning.

Hi Judy As I go through the muster rolls I will post more names. I didn't get to the rolls for McMaster and Pennington yet but I'm trying to do so as quick as I can. In the meantime, feel free to send any information about these men that I can add to the database. I will add you to the descendants database I am creating, and if you want more contact information added besides your email address please let me know.

I do not see the info of my Jacob, John & Henry Shrode/Sroad who served under McMaster & Pennington listed. Did you not get it???? jj ----- Original Message ----- From: "Blake M. Stough" <stauchistory@gmail.com> To: <amrev-camp-security@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 1:54 PM Subject: [AMREV-CAMP-SECURITY] Militia muster roll from Camp Security (75names) The following is a multi-list posting. I apologize to anyone receiving multiple copies. I am expanding my database of men who served at Camp Security, the last remaining undeveloped Revolutionary War POW camp in the United States. Over the past week I verified the names I previously added to my database, to assure accuracy in past research I had performed. The following are NEW names I have just acquired from PA Archives books. I have transcribed these names exactly as shown in the books, so surname spelling might not be accurate to your research. At times one needs to look at the surname a few times to understand what name they were actually writing. If you feel you descend from these people, I would appreciate a response, as I am also compiling a database of descendants from men who served at Camp Security. Names of more militia members will follow as I transcribe them. Thank you. Blake M. Stough The following is a muster roll from Captain Samuel Fullton's company of militia from York County, PA, which guarded Convention prisoners at Camp Security for the month of September 1781.

The following are names from the pay roll and muster rolls of Captain Andrew Foreman's Company of militia from York County. These men guarded the Convention prisoners at Camp Security in November and December 1781. This camp was a Revolutionary War POW camp in York County. Some of these men may have came from, or settled in counties other than York. These names were transcribed from PA Archives books and the spelling is shown as they were in those records. I included rank of these people, and some had different surnames listed on the records, as shown with a question mark. If I have a pension for this person it is also listed. Please contact me if you descend from these people as I am creating a database of descendants as well. Any additional information is appreciated. Thank you. Blake M.

Blake,Good to hear from you and glad to know that you're still fighting the good fight to save Camp Security from the developer beasts. I recently relocated to western North Carolina so I'm no longer just a hop in the car away from York. Please keep me in the loop on future developments. My fifth great grandfather, John Stroman (Strohman, Strauman), was placed on guard duty at Camp Security after he returned home from being a prisoner when captured at the Battle of Fort Washington. Since moving here, all my research materials are packed away in boxes. I doubt if I can get to the things soon but will try to do so down the road.

Brad Also good to hear from you. As long as you stay subscribed to this list you will stay in the loop. Right now I am confirming the names of people I had in my database of Camp Security guards that I previously collected, so I can verify I made no mistakes. I also have nearly 100 pages from a PA Archives book about Camp Security, and this has many many more names of guards from there, so I need to add them to the database as well. This week I hope to begin posting names on here of the men who served at the camp. I also have nearly 50 pension files from guards who were at the camp as well, and I am anticipating that I will at least double that with the new names I have found. Blake M.
