Well, Did You Evah? Cole Porter's descent from Nicholas Camp
Evidently the great songsmith Cole Porter is the sixth-great-grandson of Nicholas Camp, if the two sources I've pieced together are correct:
Nicholas Camp m. Sarah
Mary Camp m. John Baldwin
Nathaniel Baldwin m. Sarah Phippen
Elizabeth Baldwin m. Caleb Galpin
Ozias Galpin m. Mary Andrews
Mary Galpin m. Albert Cole
James Omar Cole m. Rachel Henton
Kate Cole m. Samuel Fenwick Porter
Cole Albert Porter b. 9 June 1891 Peru, Indiana
Let me know if any of these descents can be challenged.I can't vouch for the veracity of every generation, but many on this forum should know the first three; from Elizabeth on down the line came from this site:
