I am trying to connect a Matilda Kemp who apparently died young in 1842 to a Kemp family in Tennessee. I know from a biographical sketch from Johnson county, Texas that she was married to a Dickson or Dixon D Hickman and that they had a son named William D Hickman dob 1837/38. In the biographical sketch her father is listed as Buel, which I've considered might be a slurred Burrell. I can find Dickson D Hickman listed in the 1840 Smith county, Tn census listed between Jinks Kemp and Burrell Kemp. There is one male listed under 5 which could be William D. Dickson D Hickman is listed between 20 to 30 which makes sense as I have 1813 as his approximate dob. His wife is approximately same age. I am assuming this is Matilda. Burrell is listed 40 to 50 or 1790 to 1800. Now in 1843 (after Matilda's death) DD Hickman married Frances Cole Rothermal in Wilson county. I can't find where Wm D Hickman, child of Matilda Kemp, is living in the 1850 census. Thought it might be with Kemp relatives. By 1860 Wm D Hickman and DD Hickman families are living in Dyer county, Tn. Has anyone found a Matilda Kemp in their family trees or a connection with DD Hickman? Thanks, Dolores
