Born in Buffalo, New York, in 1821, John G. Camp came to Ohio in 1834, when his father Major John G. Camp, Sr., relocated the family, including his brother Jacob A. Camp, in Sandusky, Ohio. John Camp, Jr., was a practicing attorney (Camp & Leonard), banker, and part owner of the "city tract" (known originally as Portland) that later became the city and port of Sandusky, Ohio. Closely aligned with Norwalk, Ohio, businessman John Gardiner, Camp worked to locate several early rail lines in the Sandusky area. In an attempt to increase property values and area business, Camp devoted considerable time to negotiating with Ohio politicians for railroad charters, securing "subscribers," and financing of the Mad River and the Indiana Railroads. Camp remained deeply involved in local business matters until his death in Carthage, Ohio, on October 28, 1865.
