Children
The will of Jacob Vancamp[3] (1798) gives these children: Peter, Catharine, Jacob, William, John, Tunas, Joshua and Elisabeth. This list follows the phrase "to all my sons & Daughters to be divided equally between" which could be taken to suggest that these might be all his living children as of 1798. However two additional daughters, Rachel and Mary, appear in later land petitions presumably naming Jacob as their U.E. loyalist parent, according to Reid's work.[4] Hence it seems the word "all" in the will should be ignored. (The phrasing is odd in any case, as it uses an explicit list as well as the word "all"). References
