    1. Badyne KEMP--OK early 1900s

    3. Thank you to all those who came out of hiding to answer my post! :) My grandfather was George Matthew BAILEY. He was born somewhere in AR in 1867. I am beginning to believe his unknown father might have been killed in the Civil War. He and George's mother, Nettie B. HARRISON, were both born in TN, according to an OK 1910 census. Nettie and her sister Sarah were supposedly somehow related to the Pres. Wm Henry and Benj HARRISON. By 1910, Nettie was married to an unknown KEMP and came to visit her son in Gracemont, OK which George and his wife Alice Lucille BOAZMAN of TX founded. So George probably lived in TX, too. Down the street, according to the 1910 census, lived Badyne D. KEMP and his wife. He was 58 and she 60. They had 6 unknown living children out of 8 births. The census is difficult to read his wife's name. It could be Mary J or Nancy J. Both his parents were born in TN and her's in SC & NC. In the Gracemont cemetery are tombstones reading: B. D. KEMP 1851-1910 and JANE N. KEMP 1848-1928. Maybe his wife was named Nancy Jane or the reverse. If you have ANY comments at ALL please let me know. This is as close to finding my g grandfather as I have been able to come. All help would be greatly appreciated. T. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have an Actually Better Day.
