His parents are Frederick Kemp and his wife Regina (unknown), according to the book THE KEMP CHRONICLES, BOOK 2: JOHANN CONRAD KAEMPFF by Debra Kemp Sotzing & Sally Kemp Hagins. It was published last year and contains a lot of information!! By the way, my wife is descended from John William's brother John Henry Kemp who went to Clark Co., OH. There is also a lot of information about Frederick's descendants, siblings, etc. They take the Kemp line back four additional generations to a Frederick Von Der Kempe. The two ladies worked long and hard to publish this book and probably still have copies. Dee's e-mail is [email protected] and I can't find Sally's. So please try that.
