Walter VanCampen




Malvina Sutton VanCampen
Walter Van Campen; The Van Campen family dates back to early settlers of New Jersey. The VanCampen inn owned by Isacc Vancampen was the family home and farm and not really a “Inn” more like a weigh station for traveling colonial Americans. Find more info here on the Inn, http://www.njskylands.com/hsoldmine072

Walter was born 19 Sept 1864 in Warren County NJ, To George and Mary Zimmerman VanCampen. George learned farming from his dad, but became a Grocer in Newton, NJ. He married about 1892 to Malvina Jane Sutton (1871-1954). Her parents Malachi & Mary Mitchel Sutton called her Mallie. They had 2 children Gerald Sutton and Walter Meredith (1898-1965). They made their home in Pahaquarry Township, Warren county N.J. near their families. They are both buried in Calno Cemetery Pahaquarry Township. Im going to add a link to the cemetery. This is a cemetery that is a complete mess. Its a large cemetery that is really hard to find and move around in since it is surround by briers. We are fortunate that their stone is still standing. Most of the other family members are also interred here but impossible to find themCalno Cemetery, Pahaquarry, Warren Co., NJ
