This is what I know..My ggf was born in Ohio...possibly sent on an orphan train to Missouri..G L Kemp was his name, but my mother referred to him as Lon. Records in Missouri show George. Census records show that he came from Ohio... Also the Lon Kemp I found on Orphan train records state he was from Ohio as well. Your post caught my eye because you had written that their mother died when your ggf was a child. My grandfather, George, was born in 1848..so the dates could work...would love to hear from you. Thanks...Lisa Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
