  • Notes 
    • Elizabeth Dabney was born to Major George Dabney III of Dabney’s Ferry and Ann “Nancy” (Nelson) Dabney February 11, 1763, in King William County, Virginia.
      She married a Mr. Camp, who may have been Richard P. Camp of Caroline County in the 1810 census, where his and his wife’s ages were given as 26-44 and five children were listed. He served as security and witness for the marriage of Sarah Camp with Samuel Burruss in August, 1809 in Caroline County. In 1810, he wrote a letter to Lawrence Taliaferro Dade of Orange County concerning a debt he owed to Dade. He was listed in the Caroline personal property tax records from 1810 through 1814, but the 1815 and 1816 lists were too dim to be readable. Between 1810 and 1814, Richard paid personal property taxes on 4-7 slaves and 3-7 horses. He evidently owned no land, but pobably rented some, because he was never listed in the Caroline County land tax rolls from 1782-1816. In 1813, a Richard P. Camp, perhaps a son, served about four months as a corporal in a Caroline County militia unit. Richard Sr. died in Caroline County in late 1815 or early 1816 as evidenced by a court record dated February, 1816, of the inventory and appraisement of his estate, which included no slaves and totalled $668.
