* ancestry and dates confusing; she is listed in the Baldwin genealogy book as being the "daughter of Edward Camp." At the time there a Nicholas Camp of Wethersfield who settled in Milford and a Edward Camp (d 1659) whose widow m John Lane of Milford. John Lane's will of 1669 mentions "Samuel, Edward, and Mary Camp."
* who were her parents and when did she die? most Camp sources list her death BEFORE the birth of Samuel, Josiah and Remember in January 28, 1673/74.
*others say she the daughter of Edward Camp and Mary Hine? sourses who claim this ancestry list Mercy/Mary Camp then being married to a Biscone in 1672, yet they still contribute these other children to her and Josiah.
* Descendants of John Baldwin; familytreemaker
* Descendants of Thomas Campe; familytreemaker
* Baldwin Genealogy p 301 simply states she was the daughter of Edward Camp
