A distant ancestor, would have been a ggg aunt, was Jemima or Jennie or Guermina (WATKINS) KEMP. The US CENSUSES had different spellings for her name. I don't know the first name of her husband, could have been William or John. Her children I have seen listed were John H. <1870>, Martha A. <1876>, and Roda or Rhoda <1878> all PA. Jemima WATKINS was the daughter of William and Charlotte WATKINS, b. in WALES and first living in Banks Twp., Carbon Co., PA. She moved with her mother and siblings to Hazle Twp., Luzerne Co., PA before 1860. Her mother had remarried to a John LLEWELLEYN or LLEWELLIN. Her siblings were: Elizabeth, Mary A., John, William, Hannah, and or Margaret, and Henry "Harry" WATKINS. If trying to find them on the Ancestry.com Census transcriptions, you may have to look under the last name WALKINS on some of the US CENSUS. But it was WATKINS.
