Andrew is the son of Daniel A. Camp, a miller in 1860 McDonough County, Illinois, and Elizabeth Kellough.
|
This family history was written by in 1880 by Thomas W. Kellough,
who was born in 1829 in Pennsylvania and died in So. Dakota in
1902. The family was composed of his grandfather, Thomas E.
Kellough, his parents Richard A. and Sarah Maxwell Kellough and
their thirteen children. Portions of it are quoted here:
"We came to this state (Illinois) in the fall of 1837, from Rising
Sun, Maryland. We came in wagons to Columbia, Penn., thence by
canal to Pittsburgh, then down the Ohio river to Cairo (Ill.), then
up the Mississippi river till we reached the Illinois river, and
from there up to Frederic, then in a wagon to Schuyler county,
(Ill.) landing on the banks of Crooked creek, opposite Brooklyn, in
just four weeks from the time we started. There was at that time
six children of us, Thomas W. (the writer), James M., John G.,
Charles H., Andrew L., and Elizabeth J.
"In a few days we moved into a big log cabin close to the mill.
Father could get a school, but there was no school house, so the
settlers went to work and built a log house, made windows by cutting
out holes on three sides large enough to put in one pane of glass at
each place. The stove used in this house was the first one in the
neighborhood. There was no public money at that time, but he
commenced his school and was to receive two dollars per scholar for
three months. He taught nearly a year at that time, and for several
years afterwards. The postage on a letter was twenty-five cents,
and our closest post office was Rushville, eighteen miles away.
"Father then rented a farm and commenced building a house, but
sickness came, and Frances A. died in Aug. 1839. She was born after
we came here. The sixth of Jan. 1840 we moved to Plymouth, where
Mary E. was born. That summer I hired out to feed silk worms at one
dollar per week. Father rented a farm; we stayed there two years,
then our only horse died. We then rented a farm where the landlord
furnished team, seed and feed and received half the crop. We raised
a good crop of oats, sold some to travelers at twelve and a half
cents a bushel, sent some to Quincy, which sold there for thirteen
cents a bushel, the man who hauled then charged twelve and a half
cents per bushel for hauling.
"Albert M. was born in 1842 and died in 1845. The fall of ’43 we
moved back to Brooklyn. Richard M. was born in ’44. The place proved
to be sickly, and we moved back to Plymouth in ’46. The older boys
then hired out; wages ranged from five to 12 dollars per month.
Margaret A. was born in ’47, George and Mira in 50. In ’54 father
bought 160 acres of land in McDonough county, and in the spring of
’55 we moved on to the old place near Macomb, which we all called
home so long. It was about this time that one after another we
began to strike out for ourselves. Then came the (Civil) war, with
its distractions. Daniel Camp, Elizabeth’s husband, was the first
to enlist. He soon fell victim to disease and died, and now lies
buried in Missouri. Thomas and Andrew enlisted in the fall of ’61.
Andrew was killed the sixth of May, ’62, on the skirmish line in
front of Corinth, Miss. He was buried by a citizen where he fell.
His body now rests in an unmarked grave in Mississippi. Richard
enlisted in ’62 and remained until the close of the ear. Mother died
in ’68. . ."

Daniel died Nov 13, 1861 in Franklin County Missouri. "Died in the Civil War, Co. B of McDonough Co. in the 10th MO Infantry;"
| Which cemetery in or near Pacific is most likely to contain the
Union soldiers who died while stationed at Pacific in the fall of 1861? My gggrandfather Pvt. Daniel A. Camp died on Nov. 13, 1861 of disease. We don't know if he was buried at Pacific. Thanks. Dave. Andrew Kellough, of co. D, 1st Battalion Yates Sharp-shooters, was killed May 8th, while out on a reconnoitering expedition. He was shot through the breast and killed almost instantly. His body was not recovered, it being too close to the fire of a battery to obtain it. He has a respectable circle of friends and relatives residing near Macomb, including a loving father and mother, brothers and sisters, who will deeply mourn his untimely death. He also has a brother in the same company to which he himself belonged. He is spoken of by all who knew him as a highly respectable and esteemed young man. Fell in battle by a ball from the enemy through the heart, near Corinth, on the 5th day of May, 1862, Mr. Andrew L. Kellough, of Capt. Stewart’s company, Yates Sharpshooters. A young man of unblemished character and noble aspirations, conscientiously moral and religious – a patriot – a Christian. He resided with his parents about three miles from this city until last autumn, when at the call of his country he took the tented field where, as at home, the purity of his life, and the faithful unselfish discharge of every duty made him a favorite with all. Though this is the second from this family sacrificed on the altar of their country, (Daniel A. Camp of Dr. Bayne’s Company, who fell a victim to exposure and disease in early winter, being a son-in-law) yet these parents now in the “sear and yellow leaf” of life, and feeling most deeply their loss do not regret that they had sons to give to their country in its time of peril and sore trial; and let us who are enjoying the peace and comforts of home cherish the memories of those dear ones and their compeers, who have fought and fallen to secure us these blessings. Let the names of McDonald, Camp, Bailey, Gill, Milligan, Pierson, Welch, Teas and Kellough, and as many more as may be called to follow them, be as household words, not dishonored or forgotten; and let a tear of sympathy and a helping hand ever be extended to their families and friends left behind. |
