Moses DeCamp (son of Lambert DeCamp and Mary Boud) was born 28 Sep 1735 in Westfield, Essex, New Jersey, and died 05 Oct 1827 in Butler County, Ohio. He married Sarah Ross on 31 Jan 1764 in Westfield Presbyterian Church, Chester, Morris, New Jersey, daughter of David Ross and Hannah Scudder.

He removed to Butler County, Ohio, in September, 1812, and purchased land there, dividing between his sons David and Ezekiel, who accompanied him, 160 acres in Reily Township, Section 14, Range 1, East, about four miles south of Oxford, Ohio. He died here 5 October, 1827, aged 92 years, and his wife died 15 May, 1835, aged 89 years. Their graves are in cemetery of old Bethel Presbyterian Church, seven miles west of Hamilton, Ohio. Moses DeCamp served through the Revolutionary War, and his flintlock musket is in hands of Mrs. Rebecca Hand Mustin, a great-granddaughter, at Wood's Station Ohio.
