You don't know how you have helped answer a number of questions. My brother will also be interested. He will probably contact you, if that is okay? I will let him know what you have told me here. You may have been in touch with him already, as he has been in contact with someone associated with the KEMP family. Please email me at rickjudy76@hotmail.com. I don't live that far away from Schuylkill Co., PA. It takes about 1 1/2 hours, perhaps. I get up that way at least twice a year, as does my brother. Who knows, maybe the KEMP family member he is in contact with will have some info for you. You had some names which we didn't have before, like Rhoda's second husband, and Emma and Mattie's husbands. You also cleared up that William was also known as John sometimes because his name was William John KEMP. We have on our files that Jemima is the correct way to spell the wife of the son William. Jemima WATKINS was the sister of my great great grandmother Mary Ann WATKINS. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: KENNELLYMARKA Surnames: Kemp, Main. Classification: obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.kemp/1890/mb.ashx Message Board Post: WASHINGTON (AP) - Jack Kemp, the ex-quarterback, congressman, one-time vice-presidential nominee and self-described "bleeding-heart conservative," died Saturday. He was 73. He became a Presbyterian after marrying his college sweetheart, Joanne Main. The couple had four children, including two sons who played professional football. He joined with a son and son-in-law to form a Washington strategic consulting firm, Kemp Partners, after leaving office. Kemp died after a lengthy illness, according to spokeswoman Bona Park and Edwin J. Feulner, a longtime friend and former campaign adviser. Park said Kemp died at his home in Bethesda, Md., in the Washington suburbs. Kemp had announced in January 2009 that he had been diagnosed with cancer. He said he was undergoing tests but gave no other details. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called Kemp "one of the nation's most distinguished public servants. Jack was a powerful voice in American politics for more than four decades." Kemp, a former quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, represented western New York for nine terms in Congress, leaving the House for an unsuccessful presidential bid in 1988. Eight years later, after serving a term as President George H.W. Bush's housing secretary, he made it onto the national ticket as Bob Dole's running-mate. With that loss, the Republican bowed out of political office, but not out of politics. In speaking engagements and a syndicated column, he continued to advocate for the tax reform and supply-side policies - the idea that the more taxes are cut the more the economy will grow - that he pioneered. Kemp's rapid and wordy style made the enthusiastic speaker with the neatly side-parted white hair a favorite on the lecture circuit, and a millionaire. His style didn't win over everyone. In his memoirs, former Vice President Dan Quayle wrote that at Cabinet meetings, Bush would be irked by Kemp's habit of going off on tangents and not making "any discernible point." Kemp also signed on with numerous educational and corporate boards and charitable organizations, including NFL Charities, which kept him connected to his football roots. Kemp was a 17th round 1957 NFL draft pick by the Detroit Lions but was cut before the season began. After being released by three more NFL teams and the Canadian Football League over the next three years, he joined the American Football League's Los Angeles Chargers as a free agent in 1960. A waivers foul-up two years later would land him with the Buffalo Bills, who got him at the bargain basement price of $100. Kemp led Buffalo to the 1964 and 1965 AFL Championships, and won the league's most valuable player award in 1965. He co-founded the AFL Players Association in 1964 and was elected president of the union for five terms. When he retired from football in 1969, Kemp had enough support in blue-collar Buffalo and its suburbs to win an open congressional seat. He told a gathering during a return trip in 2007 that he still tried to catch as many Bills games as possible, but mostly on television. Efforts to be in the stands were reserved for family. "I've got 17 grandchildren, 10 of whom play football, so I spend my weekends flying around the country going to football games," he said. In 11 seasons, he sustained a dozen concussions, two broken ankles and a crushed hand - which Kemp insisted a doctor permanently set in a passing position so that he could continue to play. "Pro football gave me a good perspective," he was quoted as saying. "When I entered the political arena, I had already been booed, cheered, cut, sold, traded, and hung in effigy." Kemp was born in California to Christian Scientist parents. He worked on the loading docks of his father's trucking company as a boy before majoring in physical education at Occidental College, where he led the nation's small colleges in passing. He became a Presbyterian after marrying his college sweetheart, Joanne Main. The couple had four children, including two sons who played professional football. He joined with a son and son-in-law to form a Washington strategic consulting firm, Kemp Partners, after leaving office. Through his political life, Kemp's positions spanned the social spectrum: He opposed abortion and supported school prayer, yet appealed to liberals with his outreach toward minorities and compassion for the poor. He pushed for immigration reform to include a guest-worker program and status for the illegal immigrants already here. At the Department of Housing and Urban Affairs, he proposed more than 50 programs to combat urban blight and homelessness and was an early and strong advocate of enterprise zones. In 1993, along with former Education Secretary William Bennett and former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Jeane Kirkpatrick, he co-founded Empower America, a public policy organization intended to promote economic growth, job creation and entrepreneurship. His choice as Dole's 1996 running mate was seen as a way for the Republican Party to reach groups of voter that Dole could not. And it came even after Kemp endorsed Steve Forbes for the nomination - a move many considered political suicide - and declared himself a "recovering politician." Dole's more sober demeanor contrasted sharply by Kemp's high-spiritedness, which was recalled in various accounts, including one by Marlin Fitzwater, Bush's press secretary.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: cskwilliams Surnames: KEMP, ANNEAR, ELMS Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.kemp/1881.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I understand your confusion. Between the mixed up dates and all the Williams and Johns floating around the Kemp family tree, this branch of my family has been really tough to research. Background information obtained from relatives: My paternal grandfather was Frank Alexander Kemp, born in Camden, Maine in 1895. His parents were Frank Kemp and Kate Liddell. Frank Kemp was born in Minersville, PA in 1856. His parents were William John Kemp and Rhoda Annear (both were born in Cornwall, England around 1820). My grandfather had 2 aunts who also lived in Maine when he was a child -- Emma Kemp Elms, and Mattie Kemp Cooper. The reason I mention Emma and Mattie is that they turned out to be the key to putting all the pieces together. I'm still not sure I have it all right yet, but it seems to fit. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1841 ENGLAND CENSUS - Gwennap With St Day, Cornwall, England WILLM KEMP, Male, age 20, Copper Miner RODICE(?) KEMP, Female, age 18, Copper Miner ******************* This fits with birth years obtained from later re - 1822 for William John and 1823 for Rhoda. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1860 US CENSUS - Minersville, Schuylkill, PA JOHN KEMP, 29, England (occupation - Coal Mining) REGETTA, 28, England JOHN, 16, Pennsylvania WILLIAM, 15, Pennsylvania ANN, 12, Pennsylvania MARY, 11, Pennsylvania FRANCIS, 3, Pennsylvania EMMA D, 9/12, Pennsylvania ******************* According to family information, my grt-grt-grandfather's name was "William John Kemp". In all the records I've come across, William and John seem to be used interchangeably. I have no idea how somebody got "Regetta" out of "Rhoda", but since the rest of the family fits with later records, I'm pretty sure Regetta is Rhoda. John/Rhoda's ages should be 39/38 rather than 29/28. (If Rhoda was 28, she would have been 12 when son John was born.) Based on other records I've found, I think Wm-John and Rhoda came to the U.S. in the 1850's. The birthplace for the 1st 4 children should be England, not PA. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1870 US CENSUS - Shamokin, Northumberland, PA Dwelling 636, Family 688: WILLIAM, 26, England (occupation - works in mines) GEMIMA, 25, Pennsylvania Dwelling 636, Family 689: WILLIAM KEMP, 48, England (occupation - works in mines) RHODA, 47, England JOHN, 27, England (occupation - works in mines) FRANCIS, 13, Pennsylvania EMMA D, 11, Pennsylvania JAMES H, 10, Pennsylvania MARTHA, 5 Pennsylvania *********************** This is the same family from the 1860 Census in Minersville. John is still living with his parents. (If William and John served in the Civil War, it appears both came home safely.) William has gotten married (wife Gemima). Ann and Mary would be in their 20's -- probably married and living with their new families? Francis and Emma still there, and two new children -- James and Martha (Martha is Mattie Cooper mentioned earlier). ------------------------------------------------------------ Wm-John dies in 1878 (Shamokin Cemetery records), leaving Rhoda widowed with their 2 youngest children -- James and Martha. The three brothers -- William, John, and Frank (Francis) are in Colorado in 1880. They're listed on the 1880 U.S.Census in Poughkeepsie Gulch, San Juan, Colorado. Their ages and birthplaces aren't right, but the basic fact is consistent with family accounts. (And it explains why Gemima is a head of household but still married on the 1880 census.) Emma married Joseph Elms in 1875 and some time in the late 1870's they move to Maine. Joseph Elms was born in Maine, so I assume they were returning to where he had family. (I haven't figured out yet when or why he came to PA.) I'm basing the time frame on a later census indicating that their first two children are born in PA and the 3rd in Maine. In 1882, Martha (Mattie) married Samuel Cooper (in PA, I think.) I haven't figured it all out yet, but somehow or other, most of the family ended up living in Maine. (Rhoda marries again -- her second husband is John Easton.) ----------------------------------------------------------- 1990 US CENSUS - Camden, Knox, Maine SAMUEL E COOPER, 40 MATTIE, 34 WILLIAM E, 17 PEARLIE, 16 EDNA M, 14 WALTER, 13 MILDRED H, 5 JOHN EASTON, 79 RHODA K EASTON, 77 JAMES H KEMP, 38 FLORA M, 37 WILLIE L BARRICK, 17 JESSIE M, 11 EVA M, 3 FRANK KEMP, 40 KATE L, 33 BEATRICE, 6 FRANK A, 4 MARY L, 6/12 1990 US CENSUS - Belmont, Waldo, Maine JOSEPH E ELMS, 49 EMMA D, 42 LAURA A, 19 FRANK A, 13 AUBREY E, 9 CLARENCE T, 3 ----------------------------------------------------------- I still have SO many questions... According to the 1900 census, Rhoda had a total of 16(!)children and 5 were still living. There are 8 children on the 1860-1880 census records. (I'm guessing that the other 8 could have died as infants, or died some time before the 1860 census). Four of the children are living in Maine in 1900 -- Frank, Emma, James and Mattie. Which of the other children is still living? William died before 1890. John maybe? Or I suppose it could be Ann or Mary. I have no idea what became of them after 1860. I hope this helps in your research. If you come across any additional information to share, I would love to hear from you.

To answer your questions. The two deaths in 1809 were for the parents, Alexander Kemp & Jean Blackie - Jean died of Dropsy - these are transcriptions from the OPR entries. All the children appear to have survived but I don't know who brought them up or where they went to as, apart from my 2nd gr grandfather, William Kemp, the rest seemed to have disappeared as they are not on any of the Scotland censuses. What I am looking for is any info about the children - perhaps they emigrated somewhere. Also, I do not know who Alexander Kemp b c1764 parents were & would really like to find this bit of info. Thanks for trying but I've been at this for a couple of years so far & it is not a straight forward search - I live in hope.

Hi Art - one thing about the Kemps in Scotland is that they didn't tend, in general, to stay still for long which makes researching them all the more difficult. I would think that there were also Kemp lines that have been in England for a long time as well. Have you any dates or names that might give more information?

If you can scan the birth entry you have for William 1834 & attach it I would appreciate it - I accept all 'donations' in this quest to put this Scottish Kemp tree together - not sure how you would do that - maybe easier to just type a transcription of what it says.

Alexander is my 3rd gr grandfather. 1791 "KEMP, Alexander, gentleman's servant in St. Andrew p., and Jean, same p., d. of deceased James Blackie, overseer at Rosewell, p. of Laswade, 12 Jan 1791" (Source: Entry in Edinburgh Marriage Register 1595-1700: 1751-1800 from www.scotsfind.org) "Alexander Kemp Gent's Servant in St Andrew Kirk Parish & Jean Blackie in Same Parish Daug'r of the Deceas'd James Blackie late Overseer at Rosewell in the Parish of Laswade" (Source: Copy of an entry of Marriage in Old Parochial Register) It appears that Rosewell was a coal mining area & so James Blackie was probably an overseer at a coal mine. (Author note) Children - all baptized Edinburgh parish - have all the OPR entries 1. Marion b2/9/1791 (maybe married Peter Scott 7/1/1837 Edin p) 2. Peter b10/11/1793 3. James 16/10/1795 4.

A search for deaths in St Cuthbert's for the period 1790 - 1812 indicates no obvious entries for these children - no images bought. Who brought up these children & where might they be found for their subsequent marriages/census etc.? (Author note) As you can see I haven't been able to trace most of the children either & they haven't turned up on any census that I can see. If you have any ideas or locate any of them I'd really appreciate it. JudyG Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Unfortunately, I don't think my Alexander was baptized or his baptism has been lost - so to this huge Kemp tree to see if I can find him that way through other families. You did well getting that close to the answer!!!! JudyG Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
