Kathy, I'm not sure where you obtained this information, but it is not accurate. Judith Kempe, who married Hanry Birdsall, is NOT a descendent of the Kemp lineage you have listed. I show Judith as the daughter of Stephen and Agnes (Alexander) Kempe, born in Norwich, Norfolk, England. Judith never was in Salem, Mass, having died before Henry sailed for America with his children. Henry and Judith were married June 1610 at St. Stephen's in Norwich. The Kemp line you have listed has been well researched. William (1) Kemp on your list was born 1487 in Wye, Kent; died 1539. His son, Thomas, married Amy Moyle. He died in Wye, Kent in 1590. His son, Thomas, was born in Wye, Kent in 1551, and died in 1607. Thomas and Dorothy (Thompson) Kemp did not have a daughter named Judith or Agnes. Concerning the ancestry of Stephen Kemp, Judith's father, I have not yet found anything on this family. Best Regards, Robert Young, Secretary Kemp Family Association [email protected]
