About Mary Camp

It is not proven, but possible, that Mary was Mary Canfield. There was some relationship between the Camp and Canfield families. (See discussion of her will at the end of the Overview)

Mary was most likely born in England. When she married Edward Camp, they lived in New Haven until his death. She then returned to Milford, CT and married John Lane on April 4, 1666, and lived there until her death in 1680. "Lane, John, widower of Milford married 4 April 1666 Campe, widow who lived at Chestnut Hill in New Haven Parish by Mr. Treat Majestrat in Milford." (Milford Vital Records)

John Lane died in 1669 and in his will mentioned Mary's children, Samuel, Edward Jr., and Mary.

Mary Lane died in 1680; Milford Church Records state "Lane, Mary died Feb. 1680". An inventory of her will was presented Feb 22, 1680: "The last will and testament of Mary Lane, who being very sicke of body but of sound memory and understanding, doth bequeath as followeth: I will my body to be decently buried and my soule to God that gave it. Amen. Item: To my son Sam'll Campe, one cow, one ewe & lamb, & one last years lambe. Item: To my son Edward Camp, my big iron kettle & one three years old steare.

He children were brought up in the Lane homeand her son, Edward, was referred to as "Edward Camp of Milford," todistinguish him from his father who was known as "Edward Camp of NewHaven."John Lane died in 1669 .....

"The first name of the wife of Edward Camp was MARY.In her will,dated February 22, 1680, she says:"I leave Brother Canfield & JohnFiske as overseers."This was undoubtedly Thomas Canfield who waswitness to the will.There were then two men of that name, father andson, in Milford. The son was born October 14, 1654, and marriedFebruary 26, 1679, Rebecca Adkinson ..., and as Mary Camp was bornabout 1622, she did not probably refer to ther son, Thomas Canfield,as "brother."If this designation is to be taken literally, ThomasCanfield the father was her brother.He married before 1650, PhebeCrane, of Wethersfield ...It is not improbable that Mary Camp was asister of either Thomas Canfield or Phebe Crane.There areindications in the Milford records of some relationship between thesetwo families, and Samuel Camp, son of Mary, was one of the witnessesto the will of Thomas Canfield, Februaru 23, 1687-88, and in 1695married his widow.It is thought to be most likely that widow Camp'smaiden name was MARY CANFIELD, and that she was a sister of ThomasCanfield, 1st, the settler."(P) [A paragraph follows discussing themarriage of John Lane of Milford, 4 Apr 1662, to "the widow Camp thatlived at Chestnut Hill."John Lane had no children by her.](P) MaryCamp Lane died in 1680.Her will, dated Frebruary 22, 1680, names her"foure children," Samuel, Edward, Mercy Baldwin and Mary Briscoe, herdaughter, Mehitabel Camp (wife of Edward), "daughter-in-law SarahGunn," and "son-in-law Jobamah Gunn."It should be noticed that shedoes not mention a wife of her son Samuel, and the reason as shownelsewhere was that Hannah Betts, the first wife of Samuel Camp, haddied about a month before her will was made.Her inventory amountedto #65 [pounds] 142. 10d.(New Haven Probate Records, I. pt. 2, 80;New Haven County Court Records, I: 125.)
