I found these two entries on the Madison Co., MO site. Who is this Richard Kemp? Ellis Beverly Kemp (8 Apr. 1814 - 26 Aug. 1862) and Sampson Dixon Kemp (25 Aug. 1837 - 30 Nov. 1864) emigrated from Smith & Macon Counties, TN and settled in the Madison Co., MO area, but I don't have in my notes a Richard Kemp who fits, other than possibly Richard Kemp pere (1774 - 1850<), son of Henry B. Kemp, but I have no record that Richard pere ever traveled to / lived in MO. Tried in Criminal court, but must have been acquitted - see next record 1846 State of Missouri Kemp, Richard Assault to kill James Richards Purchased land: KEMP, RICHARD MO Madison 10/5/1847 Jackson 9919 MO3530__.253 4NW Section 1 51 acres Gary Pace San Jose, CA researching the descendants and antecedents of Henry B.
