A death certificate can give you all sorts of interesting info like his age at death which would give you an idea about his birth date. There is an S R A Kemp (Sidney Readdie?) listed for dying in 1904 in Hernando county (the other Sidney). The only other listing for Kemps in Levy county in the FL desth index is for a Sarah Kemp (black) who died in 1905 (Card #4367). I have also found a family tree at ancestry (yours?) http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx?tid=5738845&pid=-1402416263 I see that Susan married a Davis which makes it interesting because my mother was a Davis who married a Kemp. Too funny. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list. If you would like to reply to them, please click on the Message Board URL link above and respond on the board.
