Biography:

1. Mr. B. Camp started work grinding Saltpetre and Charcoal on the 31st August 1793 replacing John Haynes, who had been discharged for stealing coal (Supply 5/216). 2. He was employed in the Corning House from September 1793, with pay of 1/6d per day, according to a Report of Artificers Employed in the Store Keeper's Department dated the 31st August 1793 (Supply 5/216). This was also the case in January and August 1794 (both also Supply 5/216). 3. Robert Coleman reported on the 11th March 1794 that Camp had been chequered (fined) for striking George Pain whilst working in the Corning House. 4. Camp enlisted as a Private in the Volunteer Company on the 7th May 1794, and by the end of that year he was described as "separating gunpowder." (Supply 5/217). 5. In June and July 1795 (also referenced Supply 5/217) he was described as a Puntman.
