Erick I'm searching for additional info on the Neil B. Lemons (1854) & Ardulia Cox (1854) family. They were md. in Smith Co., TN in 1878.

The 6th child may be David E. Lemon age 37 on the 1920 Wilson Co., TN census with wife Bessie and children William 12, Bernice M. 11, Mary D. 9, Haley F. 5.

Does any one know or have a record of where Elvis Brooks Parker was buried. He died by a fireing squad at Morgans camp on hwy 141 n.  his wife and Dempsey Parker his father took him home to be buried. I would think some of the neighbors at that time would have kept a record of the death. There was a Thomas Gregory living on one side of him and a Glasgo living on the other as per 1860 census. This death was Aug 23rd, 1863 Also he had a Brother Alford who was shot off a horse on Massey Hollow and killed by the North in March of 1864 and no know burial spot for him.

Good morning folks, Bob's obit was again published in today's Richmondpaper, but with new information on his services in Smith County. I just had a new computer built last week, and there's no driver for my scanner, so I'll just type the additional info here: Mr. Clay will be buried with his parents and grandparents in the Clay family plot in the Dixon Springs Cemetery on Dixon Springs Circle in Dixon Springs, Tenn., on May 24, 2010. Visitation of family and friends will begin at 10 a.m. at the Dixon Springs Church of Christ near the cemetery, followed by a graveside service. Memorial contributions may be made to the Smith County Tenn. Historical & Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 112, Carthage, Tenn. 37030.

Gary Pace San Jose, CA Researching the descendants and santecedents of Henry B. Kemp The Smith Co., TN Kemp patriarch was Henry B. Kemp. Mary Alice Kemp was a descendant of his son Richard Kemp; Bassie Kemp was a descendant of his son Solomon Kemp. Henry B. Kemp (1731/1736/1739/1740/1743 - February 15, 1819<) [1790 USC/WNC] married Dinah Unknown (? - February 15, 1819<) ~1756. He was born in Queen Annes Co., MD (?) / Orange Co., NC (?) / VA (?), and emigrated prior to April 1745 with his father Richard to Johnston Co., NC. After Wake County was created from Johnston, Cumberland and Orange Counties, Henry, about 1804 - 1806, migrated from Wake Co., NC, to Wilson Co., TN, and then later to the Defeated Creek area of Smith Co., TN. Some sources have the migration beginning from Granville Co., NC, which was just north of Wake Co., NC. He died in Smith Co., TN. The extent of his issue is not definitively known. Henry Kemp's children born in NC who remained in NC and did not migrate to TN included: John Kemp (~1757 - ?), born in NC Jesse Kemp (~1772 - ~1813), born in NC, married Mary Fullager (~1763 - ~1840) ~Oct. 1783. They had 13 children, several of whom emigrated to Hardin Co., TN. Henry Kemp's children born in NC who migrated to TN with him included: Rebecca Kemp (~1755 - ~1833) was born in Caswell Co., NC and died in Wilson Co., TN. On 20 Jun. 1781, in Wake Co., NC, she married 1) Roger Reece Jr. (1751/1760 - 1798), son of Roger and Fanny Reece, born in Caswell Co., NC, 20 June 1781 in Wake Co., NC; they had six children. Roger and Sarah Reece (Richard Kemp's wife) were siblings. On 4 Nov. 1799, Rebecca married 2) Fielding Neal in Granville Co., NC. (This is the same day that her brother Richard Kemp married Sarah Reece, sister of her late husband Roger!) Murphy Kemp (21 Mar. 1770 - 1851/1860) was born in Granville/Wake Co., NC and married Sarah Seay/See (22 Apr. 1775 - <1825). They had four sons and five daughters. Burrell P. Kemp Sr. (~1760/1771 - 1 Sep. 1827) was born in NC/VA and married Nancy Foster/Fauster/Fouster (1765/1775 - 1835) on 15 Dec. 1791 [WCNCMR], in Wake Co., NC. He died in Cainsville, Wilson Co., TN, she in Scott Co., IL. (Nancy Foster's parents may have been John and Maria Johnston Foster.) They had four sons and five daughters.

They are buried in the Rob Draper Cemetery, Gainesboro, TN, after removal from the family cemetery on the Thomas farm due to the flooding from Cordell Hull Lake. She is Sue Duke Frye's andmother. ------------- Gary, I need to correct some of my record on this family - George W. Kemp, s/o William and Nancy Kemp who married Nancy Ann Riley. I can prove that he did marry Nancy Ann Riley. born in Ky, except that I do not have a marriager certificare and that she appears in the censuses with him and their children and some evidence of their death records. I personally remembrt their daughter Margie being at my grandmother Alice's funeral and I did talk with her on that event. I visited two of her daughters - (when my father died one of them had my husband and me for breakfast the day of the funeral and the other visit was with my mother and husband not too awfully long before she died.). I would like to have an opportunity to change the record that you have while I still have an opportunity. Also, you sent me Nancy Ann Riley's parents and siblings which I lost in my computer and, as careful as I am with my material, I cannot find the copy that I made from your material sent. I realize that you are very busy right now and will be in the future but, if you could at all, I would very much appreciate it if you could send it again. My most sincere thanks and blessings on you.

Since Thomas Climer and family lived at or around Difficult then would that not make going to the Funns Branch area not very far. That make more since about James and Viola knowing each other. I know that I can get to the old Hughes/Thomas home place by going to Gladdice and turning and going across the bridge and back a gravel road. When I was small we use to take Monk Lee back in there to go home. Some our family still own property there in that area. Jeannie
