John Hamlin Camp

I was born in what is now Greenville County, Virginia to John Camp and Elizabeth Wall on the 28th day of January in 1783. In 1804 before meeting and marrying my wife I obtained a medical degree from the Pennsylvania School of Medicine. I traveled with my father and brother between Virginia and Davidson County, Tennessee and staying there after 1810 where I served in Captain Creel's Militia Company. Before that time I married Dorothy Chamberlain Jones. This was in 1808 Her mother Martha married my father shortly after that. Our relationships to our parents was brought before a court in Maury County, TN when the executor of my wife's father's estate sued me as executor of my father's estate. (1,2,3)

By 1817 I had moved my family to Giles County, Tennessee. I served as Justice of the Peace there in 1823. I was the Speaker in the Tennessee House of Representatives in 1827. I died a short time later in 1829.
