Elmer PAVETT (aka) William Elmer (Camp) VINCENT.
Occ: Stage Driver, Box Factory Worker, Farmer.William E Camp appears on the 1880 Barlow, Washington, Ohio Census as Grandson of Edward and Rowena Camp and his mother Emma K Camp is living with them.
The Camp family tradition states that Elmer was the only son of Andrew PAVETT and Emma Rowena CAMP both of whom died while Elmer was very young and he was raised by his grandparents, Edward & Rowena (Gard) CAMP. While he was growing up Elmer used the last name of CAMP. When he was 12 years old, he was sent to Kansas to live with his "Uncle Willie VINCENT." Elmer was 19 when he and his cousin, Harry C VINCENT and another young man hitch-hiked from central Kansas to California settling near Susanville, Calivornia. Johnson in his fairly accurate "HIATT & HIATT GENEALOGY" states this event occurred in 1892 which would have placed his age at 23. It is interesting to note that the Camp family tradition would put his leaving Kansas in the year that his gradfather Edward CAMP died (1888).
After arriving in California he changed his name to William Elmer VINCENT. Elmer may have felt that he never knew his real parents so PAVETT ment nothing compared to the name VINCENT. He also selected his uncle's first name as his own in addition to the last name. Elmer later married his first cousin, Ethel A VINCENT in 1930.
See the 1880 Census info in the notes of Emma (K) Rowena Camp PAVETT (#85) on the VINCENT families living next to Edward and Rowena CAMP.
In 1892 Elmer Pavett and his cousin Harry C Vincent hitch-hiked from central
Kansas to California settling near Susanville, CA. Elmer then changed his name
to William Vincent and married his cousin Ethel.
