Some of his sons kept the Kemper name and you may be descended from them. John Camper married Alice Cathrina Utterback. Their son Harman Camper married Catherina Elisabeth Coontz (Kuntz). One of their sons was John W. Camper. From there this line is Peter Camper, John Lee Camper,Robert Withers Camper, William Thomas Camper, me. My grandson is the last male Camper in this line.
