From Pioneer and Patriot Families of Bradford Co., Pa, by Clement F. Heverly, Vol 1, Pages 225-26: "Job Camp was born Nov 16, 1749 at Milford, Conn. During the Revolutionary War he served as a Capt. of a company bearing his name, in Lt. Col. Thomas Seymour Regiment of Light Dragoons, Conn. Mil. In 1792, Job Camp came to what is now Camptown, Bradford Co., selected lands, planted a piece of corn, and, after it was harvested, returned to Connecticut for his family, which moved in the next year, and settled at Camptown, which was then a dense, unbroken wilderness. At this time there were, besides Jones Ingham, two or three families above him on the creek....Mr. Camp started from Connecticut with a yoke of oxen, which were used to transport his family and goods. Taking the usual course of the emigrants—across the country from the Hudson to Stroudsburg, and through the great swamp—they reached the Susquehanna at Pittston. The route was a slow and toilsome one, but thus far there was a road along which they could drive a team, but up the river there was nothing but the narrow Indian path. They were therefore compelled to unyoke their oxen and drive them along singly. The cart, younger members of the family, and household goods were then placed on a keel boat, and two men were hired to push it up the river to Wyalusing. The progress was slow and the labor severe, and several days were necessary for the trip. It took all of Mr. Camp's crop of corn raised the preceding year to pay the boatmen, and the family were obligated to get along as best they could until another crop was harvested. Mr. Camp was by trade a carpenter and, the year he moved in, built a barn for himself, which is still standing. This barn is covered with boards split out of pine logs, which are fastened on with wrought nails, made by Salmon Bosworth, who had moved up the Wyalusing.”
