This is called "grasping for straws". I am trying to locate my g g grandmother's maiden name. Catherine married Lorenzy Kemp Burrow, and they lived in Ripley Co. Missouri and Randolph County, Arkansas where she died in 1862 at about age 32. Lorenzy made several land transactions with a Joshua Parmer in Ripley Co. and Randolph Co , which leads me to believe her name may have been Parmer, and she may have been a sister to Joshua. Joshua Parmer had a daughter Matilda Augustine who married James Benjamin Roach in 1876 in Randolph Co. Catherine was born in South Carolina, according to 1860 census in Randolph Co. I find a Joshua Parmer in Cobb County, Georgia, also the name Kemp and Roach. I'm thinking Kemp could have been Catherine's mother's maiden name. Does any of this information ring any bells?
