Debra, I just recently found out about Elizabeth Kemp Roop's family with the aid of a couple of Kemp researchers. There is no direct proof that she is the daughter of David Kemp and Sarah Patricia Ward, but the circumstantial evidence is considerable: Her birthdate matches David's daughter in the census. David's daughter Elizabeth was listed as born in PA in one census and OH in another. The Kemp family moved to Seneca Co, OH about 1815, so Elizabeth Kemp Roop's birthplace of OH would be correct. Joseph Roop left Huntingdon Co, PA, in 1835, married EKR in 1836, in OH, and bought land within five miles of David and Sarah Kemp's farm in Venice Twp. Joseph had siblings (sister Elizabeth m. Wm. Lingafelter, brother Amos m. Rachel Croningnor, brother Jacob m. Nancy Lewis) all lived in Seneca Co, OH, in 1834. In the 1830 census of Seneca Co, Jacob Rupe and David Kemp are listed next door to each other in Venice Twp. David and Sarah Kemp were members of the United Brethren Church. EKR's obit stated that her funeral services were conducted by a the UBC. Joseph's obit stated he had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for 40 years. Both families followed the same line of migration: PA to OH to IN. I am satisfied that Elizabeth Kemp Roop was the daughter of David and Sarah Kemp. I have more information on David and Sarah. David's parents were John W. Kemp and Mary Miller. There is a lot of discussion on the parents of John and I don't know a thing about Mary Miller, except that John and Mary were married c1768 in Frederick Co, MD. I will be happy to share whatever information I have on the Kemp family. I have several Millers in my files, but have not tied them together. Can you shed any light on any of these Millers?
