Hello Ralph -- I took a look in the History of Corinth, which I happen to have checked out of the library, but there is no mention of a Heath with a wife named Ruth, or a Heath that went to CA.

I have a lot of information on the Heath family from the Corinth history. Did not find a Ruth, however, she may have married Mr. Heath after she went to Calif? If you like, I can send you the list of the Heaths in the book. Don't know if it will help any or not. If you do find out who the husband was, it might.

Farnam B. Camp, a well-known farmer of Chalmers Township, McDonough County, Ill., was born in Section 3, of that township, November 13, 1836, a son of ISRAEL AND ANNA (BARNES) CAMP, natives, respectively, of New Hampshire and Connecticut. Israel Camp came to McDonough County in 1835 with his wife and two sons, who were quite young, and settled on the northwest quarter of Section 3, Chalmers Township, having bought the property from a MR. ANDERSON. The family came from Brookfield, Orange County, VT., by wagon and team, sixty-four days being occupied in making the trip. They commenced their long overland journey in April, 1835, and located where Farnam B. Camp now lives, starting life in a rude log cabin and with little improved land. The father was a man of many practical accomplishments, being a farmer, a carpenter, a millwright, a cooper and a fair doctor (for the times). He erected his hut in the thick timber, and made his way the first year building bridges and cultivating his small tract of cleared land with a wooden mold-board and single shovel plow, and other primitive implements. Afterward he formed a partnership with GEORGE RICE, built a saw-mill on Spring creek and did a thriving business. In 1840 he made a kiln of brick, and, in 1841, built a frame house which was as good a residence as any in the county at that time. He wa altogether a capable, industrious and useful citizen. The subject of this sketch attended the subscription school in the neighborhood when a youth, and continued to live with his parents until he was of age. He was the youngest of three boys and, when old enough, started out to work with his brother at carpentering and farming. This lasted one season, when he returned home and in connection with his other brother, purchased a mill-site and operated a saw-mill for eight years. At the end of this period he again engaged in carpenter work and farming, and bought a little land now and then, until he now owns fifty acres, on which he is carrying on farming. On May 1, 1890, Mr. Camp was married to ELIZABETH A. TAYLOR, who was born in Chalmers Township, where in girlhood she attended public school. In politics, the subject of this sketch is a stanch adherent of the Republican party. He has lately completed a term of four years as Justice of the Peace, and served as School Director twenty-one years, and one year as Assessor. Mr. Camp is a man who enjoyed the confidence and respect of his neighbors to a large degree, and is an exemplary citizen.

I am looking for information on the Hadley families in Hampstead, NH and Newbury, Orange Co, VT. Does anyone know how the following Smith, Kincaid, Bean, Eaton, and Hadley families are connected? Or do you happen to have anything to add to this collection of notes? Wells' history of Newbury, VT states, that just before the Revolutionary war broke out, Samuel Hadley and Samuel Eaton settled on a farm where Col. John Smith and his descendants owned for more than a century. The Alice M. Hadley manuscript shows that the farm where Samuel Hadley & Samuel Eaton lived passed to Kincaid, then Smith and finally Tylers, all connections. Samuel Hadley came to Newbury with Samuel Eaton and lived in same house, Eaton moved to Johnson, VT. Wells history of Newbury, CT shows Col. John Smith was born 13 Feb 1758 Hampstead, NH. Served "under the name of John Vance" in Reed's Co. of Stark's Regt., was in Battle of Bunker Hill. He moved Newbury, Orange Co, VT before Jan 1779. Married at Haverhill (MA?) 6 Apr 1780, Sarah Kincaid. They had 12 children. Perhaps this is the John Smith who lived in the Samuel Hadley/Samuel Eaton farm. >From book on Rev. soldiers in New England at LDS FHC, Southglenn Shopping Center, Littleton, CO. John Smith, NH, Vt, b. 1758 in Hampshire, NH res at enl. Londerry, NH, res Newberry, Orange Co, VT in 1832, d. 10/28/1851, Sarah. This sold. served under name of John Vance. John Vance, NC [sic], VT W3726. See claim of Sarah, wid of John Smith. It is very probably that Samuel Hadley (b. 1746) was the Samuel Hadley mentioned in the census of 1790 for Newbury VT. Samuel Hadley's family consisting at that time of one male under 16 years of age; 3 over 16; and two females. Thus his family consisted probably of four children in 1790. The Alice M. Hadley manuscript says that possibly, two of the sons of Samuel Hadley were Jonathan and Joshua. A note in Alice M. Hadley's manuscript attached to this Samuel Hadley reads, "A Samuel Hadley married Feb. 7 1765 Sarah Woodward." Other marriages hand-written in the manuscript on the page of or attached to the page of Samuel Hadley (b. 1746) are: "Polly Hadley m. Jan 24: 1798, Robert Kincaid - Newbury, VT." "Joel Osborne m. Ruth Hadley, June 10, 1789, Newbury" "Betsy Hadley m. Charles Kincaid, Feb. 2, 1792, Newbury." "Martha Hadley m. Francis Bean (Benjamin, Capt. Benjamin, Benjamin, James, John) she d. Dec. 17, 1851, age 62." A possible son of Samuel Hadley (b. 1746), Smith Hadley appears in 1790 in Willsboro, Clinton Co., NY (now Essex Co.), as having no wife or children. Samuel Hadley and Jonathan Hadley were minuteman in Cumberland Co., NY militia, Hatcher Co. John Hoisington, Major (ref. NY in the Revolution, pg. 134). Orange Co. VT in 1790 was part of what was Cumberland Co. NY in 1773 (see Documentary History of NY Vol.IV.) 1790 Census Vermont: Samuel Hadley Barnet Town, Orange Co. listed 1 -0-0 and another Samuel Hadley of Newbury, Orange, Co. listed 1-4-2. Jonathan Hadley of Corinth, Orange Co. listed 2-2-5. 1800 Census Vermont-Jonathan still in Corinth, Orange Co. listed males:2-1-0-0-1; females 2-1-2-0-1; while both Samuels had left the state. Daniel and Humphrey Hadley in Orange Co. Willsboro, Essex Co., NY Town Book shows both Samuel Hadley and Samuel, Jr. in Dist. # 5 in May 1796. Jonathan Hadley appears in Willsboro in 1803 or 1804.

Does anyone have any information on the following? Jason Hanks b. 1800 at Thetford, Vt. died 3-23-1882. married Rachael BURR (dau. of Seymour and Hannah ROBERTS BURR) children: Aaron Spaulding Hanks b. 3-27-1825 Thetford, VT died 6-30-1897 Norton Mills, Essex, VT.

Jared died in 1894; Sarah in 1890. All suggestions and/or help will be appreciated. Ida

Looking for Orange Co, VT descendants of Samuel Hadley (1746) and his parents Samuel Hadley and Judith Flanders. Affiliated surnames include Colby, Eaton, Smith, Martin, Parratt, Carter, Proctor, Hoyt, and North. Many of these families came from Salisbury or Amesbury, MA.
