The brothers Ichabod and George Camp might be termed frontiersmen. In 1782 they came to Randolph County where they settled near the mouth of a creek that now bears their name and opened a small farm. Within a few years they felt that the country about them was becoming too crowded and moved to Missouri. The place of their settlement there became Camp’s Spring.
