    3. This will be posted on several lists, so I apologize to anyone who receives multiple copies. Feel free to forward to other lists or researchers. As many of you may know, I have been researching the men who served at Camp Security, the last undeveloped Revolutionary War POW camp in the country. This camp is located in Springettsbury Township, York County. I am also directly involved in the efforts to save the site from development, as a board member of Friends Of Camp Security. We have started plans for a much needed website update (www.campsecurity.com), which brings me to the purpose of this message. I am currently developing a database of men who served at the camp, those who were prisoners, and descendants of both. I am gathering ANY AND ALL documentation about these men and their time at the camp. This information can be anything mentioning the camp, such as pensions, information from books such as PA State Archives, military rosters, etc. I know many researchers have come across information stating their ancestors were guards at the camp, or possibly transported troops there. I would like to hear from ANYONE who had an ancestor at the camp, those who believe their ancestor might have been a guard or prisoner, and also all those who have documentation stating this. I am interested in ANYTHING related to Camp Security, as this will be used for future projects, possible website updates, etc. This research needs to be performed as it has never been completed in the past. Descendants are asked to supply their contact information for our database which will never be released without permission. We also have a Camp Security mailing list for those interested. Details of subscribing are as follows... To join in mail mode, send an email to AMREV-CAMP-SECURITY-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word subscribe in the message subject and body. To join in digest mode, do the same thing with AMREV-CAMP-SECURITY-D-request@rootsweb.com. Thank you for your time, and I will begin posting information that I have already acquired very soon. Anyone sending contact information, please email me directly and not through the list. Blake M. Stough stauchistory@gmail.com
