163+ acres of land were deeded to Samuel Camp (1829-1887) on December 28, 1864. Apparently it was extra land set aside by the State of Illinois for a public school, but not needed and auctioned off. The purchase price was $1185.98.
Update: This deed is for land in Friends Creek, in northeastern Macon County. Many of the Camps are buried in the cemetery at Friends Creek.
