Abraham Camp, Junior, the second son of Captain and Deacon Abraham Camp, of Middlefield and Durham, Connecticut, and grandson of John and Phebe (Canfield) Camp, of Milford and Durham, was born in Middlefield on March 9, 1752. His mother was Martha, daughter of Moses and Abigail (Ball) Parsons, of Durham. During his early childhood the family removed to Norfolk, Connecticut. He studied Theology and was Licensed to preach by the Fairfield East Association of Minister on Feb 15, 1775. In 1776 he supplied the Norfolk pulpit during the absence of the pastor in the army, and early in 1778 he was preaching in the First Congregational Church, Middleborough, Massachusetts, where he gave satisfaction that in December the church voted him a call on probation. In February 1779, he was unanimously invited to the pastoral office. He continued to preach there, and the call was renewed in November, 1780, but with a number of votes in the negative, so that nothing came of it. He supplied the pulpit for some time in Richmond, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. He died on Oct 21, 1781, in his 30th year, probably in Norfolk.
