Mary Tarpley was born in Virginia on 30 October 1740, by one account. A Camp family history of 1963 gives her birth as 1746, also in Virginia. Her parents are not known.

On 30 January 1764 she married John Camp in Virginia. He was the third son of Thomas Camp and Winifred Starling. The 1963 history lists their ten children. Thomas was born in 1765, Anna in 1768, Abner in 1770 and Starling in 1771. Keziah was born on 20 May 1777. There were also William, James, John and Winifred. Sarah, born in North Carolina about 1770, married Thomas G. Graydon of Laurens District, South Carolina, and lived until 1854.

Her family and the Camps were bound together more than once. In 1913 a correspondent to the DAR magazine, asking who her parents were, wrote that "Two of her sisters m brothers of John Camp, Nathan and Thomas." John's sister Mary is also given as the wife of a Tarpley.

She died in 1789, by one account, twenty four years before her husband.
