    3. John Henry Westcamp born abt 1800 in Germany was in Valley by abt 1840. Married Elizabeth Daughorty or Daugharty or Doughorty or Dougharty. The o and a are similar in the script. She was probably born in Shenandoah Co. Oldest dtr, Mary Ann age 18yr, 10mo and 17da married John Westcamp of Kilcar Parish,Co Donegal, IRL on 25 Nov 1861. John Westcamp was in the Confedrate Army with McClanahan's Batery at Dumfries on the Potomac and he had to have someone write a letter for him giving permission for his dtr. to marry. Henry or John Henry died at Staunton during the war and was buried in a group of unmarked Confederate graves at Thornrose Cemetery. The mother was lost to family but the children including Mary Ann mostly ended up in Baltimore and she and her husband and children moved to Winchester. Other Westcamps still at Baltimore by 1900 or so. Interested in information re Westcamp or Dougharty families and ideas as to when John Henry came to VA and what his port of immigration may have been. Thanks Sam McFadden
