I'm still digging as I have no date or place of death for my Thomas. I do know that he left Baltimore with his two daughters 30 (my ggrandmother) and his newborn daughter not long after his wife's death in childbirth which would have been around 1834. He went to the Nashville, TN area as Margaret's sister and her husband who was a doctor lived there and she took care of the two girls. Margaret's maiden name was Campbell, she was the widow Harris when she married Thomas Kemp. Thomas lived in the Clarksville, TN area near Nashville and census records show him there. He remarried (young woman named Orr) and had a son, William T. Kemp. Census records show him, his new wife, his young son and his two daughters living in the Clarksville TN area in, I believe, 1840. He lost that wife to what we think was cholera. He then left Tennessee, his first wife's sister took care of! the two girls and his second wife's brother and his wife took care of the small boy. The girls went to an Episcopal boarding school in Columbia, Tennessee and the boy was raised in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee - only 15 or 20 miles from Columbia. We know that Thomas Kemp was in Galveston some years later and met with his son when the son was grown - which would make it somewhere after the Civil War. The son remained in Texas, married and had a family there. The daughters remained in the Middle Tennessee area - the older daughter was my ggrandmother and married William Perry and both are buried at Rose Hill in Columbia. The younger daughter married a doctor in Nashville. St. Peter's in Baltimore seems to be more than a coincidence though - will try to check it out more thoroughly. Thanks for the information. My interest is not only in the fact that he is an ancestor of mine but that he is a double ancestor - the son of his daughter married the daughter of his son so he is my double gggrandfather. (He was the grandfather of both but they had different grandmothers).
