Abigail Camp is a daughter of Nicholas Camp Jr. Thus making William Camp a brother to Abigail Camp and a son to Nicholas Camp. : “Whereas I John Baldwin of Newark in the Government of New England being weak in body but of good understanding & memory do make this my Last will & Testament in manner & forme ffollowing. First I bequeath my Soule into the hands of Almighty God hoping for Salvation from the riches of his grace by the alone merits of Jesus Christ & through faith in his blood, also I commit my body to the earth decently to be buried, & there to rest until the resurrection of the Just, & as for my worldy Estate I dispose of it, (both reall and personall) as followeth.
