JOHANNES VANCAMPEN.
JOHANNES VANCAMPEN, (in English called John CAMP,) owned 300 or 400 acres of land, lots No. 50, 51, 52, of the Elizabethtown lots, adjoining Passaic River, west of Littell's lot, where he lives. He lived on lot No. 55, south of Mulford's bridge, by the brook. He probably exchanged lot No. 50 with John Blanchard, for lot No. 55. He lived on No. 55, and Blanchard subsequently sold 40 acres of No. 50 to Thomas Baker, in 1738. About half his 300 acres were sold ( 100 acres of which was subsequently owned by Richard Scudder, now owned by John Littell.) The remainder was inherited by his son, Aaron Camp, who lived where his father did.
Aaron Camp died 8th December, 1788, and his farm was divided among his children. Aaron Camp married, 1st, _____, 2d, Hannah Clark, daughter of Daniel.
Aaron Camp, by his 1st wife, had children :
1. Mary, who married David Allen, son of Joseph Allen, Jun., of Washington Valley. [See Allen.]

THOMAS CARLE
THOMAS CARLE lived on Long Island, and had two sons : Jona ; Jacob.
Jona Carle sold, in the year 1729, to Benjamin Pettit, of New Rochelle, in the State of New York, 105 acres of land adjoining Passaic River, and yet in the Pettit family.
In the deed, from John Blanchard for the Church Parsonage lot, Jacob Carle is said to adjoin it on the west ; therefore it would seem that Jacob Carle and Jona Carle owned from the Parsonage lot up the river, to about the middle of the Pettit farm, and that Jacob sold the remainder to Elnathan Cory, who subsequently owned it.
Jacob Carle removed to the farm now owned by John Worth, on the north of Dead River. He then bought 500 acres, the one-fourth part of the Berkley Tract of 2000 acres, north of Passaic River, on which his grandson, Daniel Carle, now lives.
Jacob Carle married Rebecca Stites, daughter of William Stites, and had children :
1. John, who married Providence Layton, sister of Capt. Peter Layton. (Providence and Peter Layton's mother was sister of Richard Runyon, Sen.
2. Sarah, who married Bedient Baird, who lived where Clark Squier does.
