The time is getting closer. As summer begins to wane, it is time to think of the 1997 Annual Reunion of the Kemp Family Association. November 6-9, 1997 Cap'n Jack's Waterfront Inn Swampscott, Massachusetts The brochures went to the printer today, and should be in the mail by next Monday. At least we do not have to rely on UPS <G> If you haven't checked out the tentative information on the Reunion that Linda posted to our web page, why not check it now?? If you are not a paid member of the Association, that's OK. You can still come to the Reunion - although we'd much rather count you as a member.

Has anyone contacted the Chickasaw or Choctaw Nations about the information in their files? DawnChere

So sorry I haven't replied. I am not lost, just extremely busy with two children at home on summer vacation, a baby and a husband who is very busy at work and with two master's classes. I saved Joan's original message, intending to get back with her before now. I promise to reply today, although I don't have much for her. Sorry for the delay. Jayne Eannarino

In a message dated 97-07-14 03:16:04 EDT, you write: << Hello Dawn, The Alsace/Lorraine is a region of France on the German border - very nice, and rather mountainous. Quite possible that your ancestors are of Kentish origin, but I will not have the Kemp(e) Kent database for another 3 weeks, as my friend in Alberta, Canada is inputting to it frantically before she flies over with it shortly. Would you like to contact me again in 3 weeks?

Linda, I would try the France section in AOL Roots forum, also with Dunkirk being so close to Kent England, this family may be from Kent.

My Great Grandfather John J. KEMP is a perplexing problem. His death certificate says he was born in Dunkerque, France on 18 Aug 1830 - the son of John C. KEMP and Jane ? However, all the census records say Alsace Lorraine. Our local LDS is closed for remodeling and I cannot obtain films until they open. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My husband' is descended from John A. Kemp, b. 1793 in NC. His children by his first wife (unknown) were Henry*, Kinchen, John, Joshua, Sara, Siety (Society), & Zilphy. He lived in Emanuel Co. where he died in 1859. He may have fathered twin infants buried in the Kemp cemetery known only as G.M. & L.L. Kemp b & d 8-5-1817. The only other Kemp mentioned in Emanuel Co at this early date was Thomas who received a grant. We think that John A. may be the son of Joshua, Jr of Craven Co. NC. But have no actual proof. I have John's descendants if anyone is interested. I would love to connect him to the NC Kemps (William) that you mentioned. Thanks, Peggy Kemp, Marietta, GA

We have a group of about 10 researchers working on descendants of : WILLIAM KEMP[ ca. 1700-1750 ] m ELIZABETH --?--They lived in Williamsburgh, Craven Co., SC, Bladen Co., NC and Anson Co., NC. His children are: JOHN, WILLIAM, THOMAS, JOSEPH, STEPHEN and SARAH. If you are working on this family, you may want to join our group. Don Dunningto >>

I did see a Kemp in the Indian files I went through today, but I don't think I wrote it down. I'll check back....do you know from where your relatives came? These are NY state Indians. Sue

I can't remember if I posted this to this site or not I really need to keep better mail logs than I do. First here's Mine its actually my Colberts but I have some KEMP marriages. http://members.aol.com/DawnChere/colbert.html next is some pages that I found that have to do with KEMP and COLBERTs <A HREF="http://www.flash.net/~kma/">The Chickasaw Historical Research Page</ A> http://www.flash.net/~kma/ <A HREF="http://www.chickasaw.net/journal.htm"> The Journal of Chickasaw Hist ory Index</A> http://www.chickasaw.net/journal.htm <A HREF="http://www.novia.net/~vikia/Leaders.html">Leaders and Leading Men of Indian Territory</A> http://www.novia.net/~vikia/Leaders.html DawnChere @aol.com

I have recently been seeing a lot of inquiry on Southern KEMP families and invite you to visit my page on a Chickasaw KEMP line. http://www.novia.net/~vikia/ This line begins with a William Kemp, trader, who settled among the Chickasaw circa 1766. -- Viki Roark Anderson mailto:[email protected] 2755 Read Street Omaha, NE 68112-3121 Researching: Chickasaw families: Roark, Colbert, Kemp, Love, McKinney & Frazier.

Thank you for your response. I will be on the lookout for the southern Kemps. I do know that another of my relatives Phillip Hundley 1658 in Va. married an Ann Kemp in Va. So I've got both sides of my family names in the South. Let me know what you find out about the Indians. My grandmother use to tell me we had married into an Indian tribe somewhere in the background. Interesting! Keep in touch. Carolyn
