While attempting to sort out the mess in my clutter room, I picked up an old copy of Kentucky Ancestors (Winter 2001, Vol 37, No. 2) In it is a continuation of *Index of the Frankfort Commonwealth, 1833-35 (Part Four)* p. 109 Kemper, John, died in Garrard County, Oct. 25, 1834 Will any Kemper descendants, many of whom went to Missouri, please contact me. This John Kemper, one of many of that name, according to documents of Garrard Co., was the paternal grandfather of my ancestor, John Frederick Kemper, who went to Texas ca 1835 to participate in the Texian [sic] Revolution against Mexico. John Frederick's father, George Nimrod Kemper [labeled various ways in Garrard Co. documents] predeceased his father John Kemper, the elder, who lived in the Dick's River area. His wife was the former Sarah Rosser. According to documents at the Texas State Archives, John Frederick was master armourer of the Texian Army. About ten years later, he was killed by Karankawa Indians, who were prevalent along the Texas coast country. I am a descendant of John Frederick Kemper's only surviving child.
