My quest concerning my gggrandfather is due to the fact that he is my double gggrandfather (Thomas S? Kemp). He married the Widow Harris (nee Campbell) in Baltimore and had two daughters by her (Jane W. Kemp and Sabina Kemp) but lost the wife in childbirth when the second daughter was born. The wife's sister, the wife of a Nashville doctor, took the little girls back to the Nashville area and apparently he went as well. He then married Frances Orr (from Kentucky) and they had one son, William Thompson Kemp. The second wife died when their son was very small, probably of cholera. The child's maternal uncle (with his wife) raised the child in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee. When Wm. T. Kemp was an adult, he went to Texas, met and married Emma Frances Stinnette, and produced a number of children - among them my grandmother (Frances Loretta Kemp), Joseph Kemp, Lula Kemp (who married Frank Kell) and several others. In the meantime, his half sister, Jane W. Kemp married in Tennessee to Wm. Perry and they had three sons - two were bachelors, the other was my grandfather, William Kemp Perry. He went to Texas to visit his mother's half brother (Wm. T. Kemp), met my grandmother (Frances L. Kemp) and married her and remained in Texas the rest of his life - buried in Grandfield, OK. His widow and a number of her children (including my father) moved to Tennessee.Frances L. Kemp Perry is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Columbia, Tennessee. I believe there was a Kemp child drowned in the Bosque River on a family outing and could well be buried in the local cemetery. William T. Kemp was my ggrandfather (my grandmother's father) but was also the half brother of another ggrandmother, Jane W. Kemp Perry. (A bit confusing, I'll admit) The Kemp name has been used frequently in our Tennessee line as first and middle names. Any information you might have would be very appreciated. I believe that my great uncle, Joseph Kemp, married into the Anderson family.
