information on Camp Defiance.

In the book "Our Proud Heritage: A Pictorial History of Rockingham County,
NC" by Lindley A Butler, page 13, it is said to be 1 mile north of Norfolk.
I have not seen this book yet, but it may hold more clues for you. It is
available in several libraries including the LOV and UVA libraries.

Subject: [VA-ROOTS] Camp Defiance of Virginia, War of 1812
One of my ancestors from New Kent enlisted in the 20th US Infantry in 1814.
He was at Camp Defiance. No mention of where this camp was located. He was
discharged in 1815 at Norfolk. I found several different Camp Defiance
listings from Google. One Google book result mentions a Camp Defiance near
Norfolk, Virginia. This sounds like the place I'm looking for. But I cannot
find anything useful about this Camp. Does anyone know of this place and
where I can find more information on it, like it's location and other
surrounding camps?
Thanks in advance.
