"Big-Headed John" Camp is my gggrandfather through his youngest son,
William Washington Camp. Where in the world, Carole, did you get
the stuff about " hopped a freight train "? Also, what does the
topic subject "John Thomas Camp" have to do with your questions?
Many of us are seeking "Big-Headed John" Camps burial site in Smith
County, TX, including descendants of his three daughtersfamilies,
with whom he migrated to TX in 1856, who remain in that area today.
Much has been written in the Camp Newsletter in recent years, as well
as some exchanges in this list, about this search for his exact
burial site. He died in Smith County, TX on July 3, 1877, at the age
of 92. His wife "Winnie" is believed to have been buried in the
family cemetery just east of Jonesboro, GA (old Henry County, Clayton
County after 1859), between the 1850 Census and his move to TX in 1856.
Your best source for the basic story of "Big-Headed John" Camps family
is the "History of Clayton County Georgia" (1821-1983) (pages 156-166)
which was published by The Genealogical Society of Henry and Clayton
Counties, Inc.; P. O. Box 1296; McDonough, GA 30253-1296; Phone
(770) 954-1456; Office/Library staffed MWF, 10 AM to 3PM Eastern Time.
