GEORGE KINGSLAND CAMP, of Jersey City, was born on the manor
homestead at Kingsland, Bergen County, N. J., July 15, 1548. He is a direct
descendant of Nathaniel Kingsland, to whom the family homestead in
Bergen County was originally granted by the Indians during the reign of
Charles II. This tract of land extended from the Passaic River to the
Hackensack River. He is the son of James Ely Camp and Eliza T. Kingsland,
a grandson of Brookfield Camp and George Kingsland and a grandson
of Jeannette Ely and Frances L. Ten Eyck. Mr. Camp was educated in the local schools in what was then Union Township, Bergen County. He also attended Newark Academy and B. T. Harrington's Boarding School in New York. As a boy he began his active life with the Provident Institution for Savings of Jersey City, with which he remained from 1866 to 1872. He then engaged in the real estate business, and subsequently entered the employ of the Relief Fire Insurance Company of New York, with which he continued until 1882. He then returned to the Provident Institution for Savings to accept a clerkship, and is now the Assistant Secretary and Treasurer. He is a man of acknowledged ability, an excellent financier, a patriotic and progressive citizen, and highly esteemed by all who know him. Mr. Camp was married, February 25, 189.2, to Emilie J. Wellner, of New York. They have two children: Kingsland and C. Wellner Camp.
