Dalrymple. William Kemp (b. June 1839, d. 1918 in smith Co., KS, m. Apr. 2, 1865 Berrien Co., MI. William was the son of Alvah/Alva Kemp and 2nd wife Rachel Stith. They had 9 children. Alvah born 1808 VT died 1863 as a result of Civil War disease and is buried in the Alton National Cemetery in Illinois. His parents were Nehemiah Kemp and Betsy Snow. You will find several trees for Betsy Snow at Familysearch.org that include John Alden and Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. I can't verify the ancestry of Betsy Snow. You might was to contact the submitters if you are interested. Please feel free to E-mail me directly if I have information that might be useful to you.
