THE ANCESTRY OF WILLIAM FRANCIS JOSEPH BOARDMAN HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT BEING HIS LINEAGE IN ALL LINES OF DESCENT FROM THE EMIGRANT ANCESTORS IN NEW ENGLAND BY WILLIAM F. J. BOARDMAN Member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and the Connecticut Historical Society PRIVATELY PRINTED HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT 1906 The death of Nicholas Camp, 1st, is believed to have occurred not long before 1658, when a "Widow Camp" of New Haven gave to her daughter, Bridget Tompson, a portion due her from the estate of her father, Anthony Tompson. Only one of that name is found in the list of freemen in 1669, who was the son. The practice in the Milford records had been to distinguish them by the titles "Senior" and "Junior," but the return made by the searchers for Whalley and Goffe, May 20, 1661, has the signature of "Nicholas Campe" without any such title [New Haven Colonial Records, II: 389n.] The same is true of a deed to Nicholas Campe and John Beard, September 16, 1664, and in this case the son, who was at other times associated with his brother-in-law in land transactions, was undoubtedly the person named. [Milford Land Records, IV: 294; cf. IV: 329.] |
