Elizabeth's tombstone inscription shows that she died 18 Jan 1863 at the age of 76 years & 5 days. That calculates to a birth of 13 Jan 1787. However, the Martha Camp Bible transcription shows Elizabeth's birth as 13 Sept 1785. Elizabeth's age on the 1850 census is 67 and she is 78 on the 1860 census. None of that meshes perfectly. At this point, we have used the Bible date for her date of birth, recognizing it may not be correct (perhaps having been transcribed incorrectly).
Elizabeth married Thomas Camp. The Thomas & Elizabeth Camp Bible records the following children:
Elizabeth Camp, b. 26 Feb 1806
Maria Camp, b. 1 Apr 1810
Thomas Camp, b. 28 Oct 1813
Elias Camp, b. 7 Jan 1816
Mary H. Camp, b. 15 Mar 1818
Rosetta Camp, b. 13 Feb 1820
Leonard Camp, b. 27 Mar 1822
In 1850, Thomas & Elizabeth and a grandson lived in Maurice River Twp., Cumberland Co., NJ. Thomas died in 1856 and the 1860 census finds Elizabeth living in Dennis Twp., West Creek P.O., Cape May Co., NJ.
