    <abstract id="aspace_767d95fa1b955e7fa631e9c8c3db7174">Typescript genealogical notes and narrative family histories of the Newlon and Camden families from the 1600s to the 1930s. Chiefly contains information about the James H. Camden family of Maryland (and later, West Virginia) from the 1720s to the 1930s, including records about properties owned and the sale of land; birth, marriage, and death dates; transcripts of obituaries; and transcripts of letters sent between family members researching and gathering family history between 1909 and 1932. Also includes short narrative histories of Bernard H. Camden's Coast Guard service from 1896 to 1927 and his life after the military; about the Civil War service of Col. Edwin Duncan Camden (1840-1922), who served in the 25th Virginia Infantry from July 1861 until the end of the war; and about the division of the Camden family between the North and South during the Civil War. Collection also contains a history of various branches of the Newlon family in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, from 1600s to early 1900s and information about the related Bland and Sprigg families.
