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. (b. 7 Apr 1794, Wake Co., NC ~ d. aft 1880, Smith Co., TN) (~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. This Burrell P Kemp, Sr was the son of Murphy and Sarah See/Seay (I show her name as Sarah See/Seay BAIRD? Burrell P was a GRANDSON of Henry Burrell Kemp and Dinah ?. Richard Kemp (1774 - 1850<) was born in NC, was literate and married Barbara (Sarah) Reece (~1780 - <1875), born in Caswell Co., NC, daughter of Roger and Fanny Reece, on 4 November 1799 [GCNCMR] in Granville Co., NC, marriage bond 5303. Roger (Rebecca Kemp's husband) and Sarah Reece were siblings. They had three sons and two daughters. Solomon Kemp (1782 - 1861/1869), born in Wake Co., NC, married twice, first to Judah (Juda) Lankford (~1784 - ?), daughter of William Lankford and Amanda Stone, on 7 Feb. 1801 [GCNCMR] in Granville Co, NC, then to Hannah (1788 - ?), also from NC. Solomon and Judah had four sons and five daughters. Richard Kemp (1774/1775 - 1850<) [1820 USC] [1830 USC] [1840 USC] [1850 USC] was born in NC, was literate and married Barbara (Sarah) Reece (~1780 - <1875), born in Caswell Co., NC, daughter of Roger and Fanny Reece, on 4 November 1799 [GCNCMR] in Granville Co., NC, marriage bond 5303. Fielding Neal was bondsman; George Bridges was witness. (This is the same day that his sister Rebecca Kemp, widow of Roger Reece, married Fielding Neal!) Roger (Rebecca Kemp's late husband) and Sarah Reece were siblings. Sarah Reece was born in Granville Co., NC, and died in Wilson Co., TN. They had three sons and two daughters. Judith Holley observes: Sarah Reece and Roger Reece were brother and sister who married a brother and sister, Richard and Rebecca Kemp. The children of Richard and Sarah WHO? (Did you mean Richard Kemp & Rebecca or Barbara Sarah Reece-Kemp) included: Jesse Benton (Benton) Kemp (1812 - 1880<) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1870 USC/JTN] [1880 USC/JTN] [1881 USC/FTX] was born in TN and married Mary (Polly) Dowell/Deal/Dial/Diel (~1825 - 1880<) [1850 USC] [1870 USC/JTN] [1880 USC/JTN] [1881 USC/FTX], born in TN 18 Apr. 1838 in Smith Co., TN. He was a farmer. Their eight children included: This George W Kemp was the son of William & Nancy Jones Kemp?? George W. Kemp ??? Birth??? (Mar. 1848 - 5 Mar. 1909) or ( 29 Apr. 1850 - 2 Nov. 1882) [1850 USC] [1870 USC/JTN] [1880 USC/JTN] [1900 USC], born in Jackson Co. and passed at Difficult, Smith Co., TN, married Nancy Ann Riley (~1851 - 1879) [1870 USC/JTN], born in KY, daughter of David and Nancy Riley (?), 2 June 1867 [SCTMR]. George was a farmer. Per his STCD, George died of "heart trouble." Nancy died of heart disease, probably in Jackson Co., TN. Their children included: Mary Alice (Alice) Kemp (Jan. 1870/1872 - 8 Sep. 1934) [1880 USC/JTN] married William Riley (Darb/Germ) Thomas (Nov. 1844 - 2 Dec. 1922) [LDVDR/JTN] [Jackson Co., TN, Death Certificate # 419], son of William Young and Narcissa Searcy/Sircy Thomas, 4 July 1894 in Jackson Co., TN. Mary and Darb were born, married, lived and died in Jackson Co., TN. 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 grandmother. Solomon Kemp (1782 - 1861/1869) [1820 USC] [1850 USC], born in Wake Co., NC, married twice, first to Judah (Juda) Lankford/Langford (~1784 - ?), born in NC, daughter of William and Amanda Stone Lankford, on 7 Feb. 1801 [GCNCMR] in Granville Co, NC, then to Hannah Unknown (1788 - ?) [1850 USC], also from NC. Solomon and Judah had four sons and five daughters, including: Aulsey / Aulcey / Alsey / Alsa / Auzzie Kemp (1803 - 1863) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1860 USC] born in NC and married Margaret (Peggy) Jones (~1807 - 1870<) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1860 USC] [1870 USC], daughter of Wiley Jones and Jane Vandzant/Sanderson, <1827 and had eleven children. (Margaret (Peggy), Elizabeth (Betsy), Barbara and Wiley Jr. Jones were siblings, children of Wiley Sr. and Jane Vandzant/Sanderson Jones. Margaret (Peggy) Jones married Aulsey Kemp, Elizabeth (Betsy) Jones married Wiley Kemp, Barbara Jones married John Jackson (Jack) Kemp and Wiley Jones Jr. married Alethia Jane Davis.) Alsa is reported to be buried in the Green Hill Cemetery, Smith Co., TN, though no tombstone sustains this assertion. Aulsey and Peggy had ten children, including: James (Jim/Jimmy) Kemp (~ 1836 - ?) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1860 USC] [1870 USC] [1880 USC], born in Smith Co., TN, married Elizabeth (Diana/Dicie/Dicey) Ann Climer (Oct. 1836 - ?) [1850 USC] [1860 USC] [1870 USC] [1880 USC] [1900 USC/MTN], daughter of Thomas and Sally Kemp Climer and a sister to Martha Ann (Patsy) Kemp's husband William Franklin (Franklin) Climer, on 29 Oct. 1857 [SCTMR] in Smith Co., TN. Their children included: General Haskell (Haskell) Kemp (July 1858 - ~1933) [1860 USC] [1870 USC] [1880 USC] [1900 USC] [1910 USC/MTN] married Lethie/Leathy/Letha Franas Smith (Mar. 1860 - 11 Aug. 1914) [DDVT/MTN] [1880 USC] [1900 USC] [1910 USC/MTN], daughter of Daniel Johnson and Milicann Ann Davis Smith, 20 Nov. 1878 [SCTMR]. Letha Smith and Mary Smith, wife of Benjamin H. Kemp, were sisters. "Uncle Haskell" was a well-known local auctioneer and had a fine singing voice, though stammered when he spoke; "he was a lively, jolly man who enjoyed a good joke." "Cal's Column" / "The Macon County Times" of 17 May 1951 and 14 June 1951 include some anecdotes of this fine man. Their seven children included: Bessie T. Kemp (Mar. 1894 - ?) [1900 USC] [1910 USC/MTN] married Edgar James (Bugg) Cassetty / Cassety / Casity (31 Dec. 1890 - May 1975) [LDVSS] [1900 USC/MTN] [1910 USC/MTN], a son of Martin C. and Mary Elizabet Kirby Cassity 8 Apr. 1910 in Macon Co., TN. They passed in Pleasant Shade, Smith Co., TN.

Sue, In response to your queries: 1) The Burrell Kemp born 7 April 1794 is Burrell/Burwell Kemp Jr. (7 Apr. 1794 - 1883) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1860 USC] [1870 USC] [1880 USC], born in Wake Co., NC, married Elizabeth (Smith ?) Rowland/Roveling/Rawlings/Rowlings/Romling/Romeling (1795/1796 - ~1873) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1860 USC] [1870 USC], born in Wake Co., NC, on 3 Nov. 1813 [WCTMR] in Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee. By 1814 they were living in Old Kemp Hollow #1, on Peyton's creek, near Monoville, Smith Co., TN, on a land grant from NC in Indian Territory. Burrell was a farmer, both Burrell and Elizabeth were able to read, though their ability to write is unclear. (Richardson, Sarah (Sally), Kissiah, Elizabeth and Rebecca Rowland were siblings, possibly children of Sarah Rowland.) They had nine sons (possibly a tenth died in childhood) and up to six daughters, but the daughters are presently unknown. After Elizabeth's demise in the early 1870s, Burrell Jr. married Jane (Kennedy?) Russell (~1828 - ?) [1880 USC] on 27 Sep. 1874 [SCTMR] by E. J. Yeaman, J.P.; there were no issue from this union. Jane Russell is likely Jane Kennedy, daughter of Stephen Kennedy and widow of Edward Russell. 2) Burrell Kemp Jr. was the son of Murphy Kemp (21 March 1770 - 1851/1860) [1820 USC] [1830 USC] [1840 USC] [1850 USC]. Born in Granville/Wake Co., NC, and married Sarah/Sally Seay/See (22 Apr. 1775 - <1825). They emigrated to, lived and passed in Smith Co., TN. [NOTE: There is an outside chance that Sarah's wife's maiden name was Baird, not Seay.] 3) I meant the Richard and Sarah of the immediately preceding paragraph, namely Richard Kemp (1774/1775 - 1850<) [1820 USC] [1830 USC] [1840 USC] [1850 USC] was born in NC, was literate and married Barbara (Sarah) Reece (~1780 - <1875), born in Caswell Co., NC, daughter of Roger and Fanny Reece, on 4 November 1799 [GCNCMR] in Granville Co., NC, marriage bond 5303. 4) Mary (Polly) Dowell/Deal/Dial/Diel was born ~1825. She could not have been born ~1838 because her first child Haywood was born ~1839. 5) In my description of Jesse Benton Kemp, I omitted a comma, introducing some confusion. With the comma between "TN" and "18" at the end of the sentence, it should read Jesse Benton (Benton) (1812 - 1880<) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1870 USC/JTN] [1880 USC/JTN] [1881 USC/FTX] was born in TN and married Mary (Polly) Dowell/Deal/Dial/Diel (~1825 - 1880<) [1850 USC] [1870 USC/JTN] [1880 USC/JTN] [1881 USC/FTX], born in TN, 18 Apr. 1838 in Smith Co., TN. 6) George W. Kemp (Mar. 1848 - 5 Mar. 1909) or ( 29 Apr. 1850 - 2 Nov. 1882) as described in the immediately preceding para was the son of Jesse Benton (Benton) (1812 - 1880<) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1870 USC/JTN] [1880 USC/JTN] [1881 USC/FTX] was born in TN and married Mary (Polly) Dowell/Deal/Dial/Diel (~1825 - 1880<) [1850 USC] [1870 USC/JTN] [1880 USC/JTN] [1881 USC/FTX], born in TN, 18 Apr. 1838 in Smith Co., TN. 1848 - `1909 are the correct life dates for George.

The Duncan Name in my family goes back before the Civil War. So for me to find a Duncan male in that family line would be next to impossible. I wish there was more I could help with, Cheryl Davis-Holman In a message dated 3/17/2010 9:40:02 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, NYFROMCA@aol.com writes: Hi Cheryl, We corresponded a while back and I thought I would write to ask you something that it of great importance to several Duncan families. It would appear that your Duncan line is the "missing link" and may be able to help these Duncan's prove their lineage. Some of these Duncan's have already been DNA tested, but I was hoping, as were they, that you might be able to find a Duncan male of your line to also be tested. It doesn't have to be a brother, it could be a 1st, 2nd or 3rd cousin, uncle, as long as they are male, surnamed Duncan, descended from your line of Duncan's. The others are willing to split the cost with you, hoping that you will consider it. I would appreciate it if you could get back to me, either way so that I can let Terry Duncan (DSA), Fred Duncan and Mary Ann Dobson know. Thank you in advance for your consideration Cheryl : ) Sincerely, Kathy Duncan Cawley

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. Richard Kemp (1774 - 1850<) was born in NC, was literate and married Barbara (Sarah) Reece (~1780 - <1875), born in Caswell Co., NC, daughter of Roger and Fanny Reece, on 4 November 1799 [GCNCMR] in Granville Co., NC, marriage bond 5303. Roger (Rebecca Kemp's husband) and Sarah Reece were siblings. They had three sons and two daughters. Solomon Kemp (1782 - 1861/1869), born in Wake Co., NC, married twice, first to Judah (Juda) Lankford (~1784 - ?), daughter of William Lankford and Amanda Stone, on 7 Feb. 1801 [GCNCMR] in Granville Co, NC, then to Hannah (1788 - ?), also from NC. Solomon and Judah had four sons and five daughters. Richard Kemp (1774/1775 - 1850<) [1820 USC] [1830 USC] [1840 USC] [1850 USC] was born in NC, was literate and married Barbara (Sarah) Reece (~1780 - <1875), born in Caswell Co., NC, daughter of Roger and Fanny Reece, on 4 November 1799 [GCNCMR] in Granville Co., NC, marriage bond 5303. Fielding Neal was bondsman; George Bridges was witness. (This is the same day that his sister Rebecca Kemp, widow of Roger Reece, married Fielding Neal!) Roger (Rebecca Kemp's late husband) and Sarah Reece were siblings. Sarah Reece was born in Granville Co., NC, and died in Wilson Co., TN. They had three sons and two daughters. Judith Holley observes: Sarah Reece and Roger Reece were brother and sister who married a brother and sister, Richard and Rebecca Kemp. The children of Richard and Sarah included: Jesse Benton (Benton) Kemp (1812 - 1880<) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1870 USC/JTN] [1880 USC/JTN] [1881 USC/FTX] was born in TN and married Mary (Polly) Dowell/Deal/Dial/Diel (~1825 - 1880<) [1850 USC] [1870 USC/JTN] [1880 USC/JTN] [1881 USC/FTX], born in TN 18 Apr. 1838 in Smith Co., TN.

George was a farmer. Per his STCD, George died of "heart trouble." Nancy died of heart disease, probably in Jackson Co., TN. Their children included: Mary Alice (Alice) Kemp (Jan. 1870/1872 - 8 Sep. 1934) [1880 USC/JTN] married William Riley (Darb/Germ) Thomas (Nov. 1844 - 2 Dec. 1922) [LDVDR/JTN] [Jackson Co., TN, Death Certificate # 419], son of William Young and Narcissa Searcy/Sircy Thomas, 4 July 1894 in Jackson Co., TN. Mary and Darb were born, married, lived and died in Jackson Co., TN. 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 grandmother. Solomon Kemp (1782 - 1861/1869) [1820 USC] [1850 USC], born in Wake Co., NC, married twice, first to Judah (Juda) Lankford/Langford (~1784 - ?), born in NC, daughter of William and Amanda Stone Lankford, on 7 Feb. 1801 [GCNCMR] in Granville Co, NC, then to Hannah Unknown (1788 - ?) [1850 USC], also from NC. Solomon and Judah had four sons and five daughters, including: Aulsey / Aulcey / Alsey / Alsa / Auzzie Kemp (1803 - 1863) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1860 USC] born in NC and married Margaret (Peggy) Jones (~1807 - 1870<) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1860 USC] [1870 USC], daughter of Wiley Jones and Jane Vandzant/Sanderson, <1827 and had eleven children.

Margaret (Peggy) Jones married Aulsey Kemp, Elizabeth (Betsy) Jones married Wiley Kemp, Barbara Jones married John Jackson (Jack) Kemp and Wiley Jones Jr. married Alethia Jane Davis.) Alsa is reported to be buried in the Green Hill Cemetery, Smith Co., TN, though no tombstone sustains this assertion. Aulsey and Peggy had ten children, including: James (Jim/Jimmy) Kemp (~ 1836 - ?) [1840 USC] [1850 USC] [1860 USC] [1870 USC] [1880 USC], born in Smith Co., TN, married Elizabeth (Diana/Dicie/Dicey) Ann Climer (Oct. 1836 - ?) [1850 USC] [1860 USC] [1870 USC] [1880 USC] [1900 USC/MTN], daughter of Thomas and Sally Kemp Climer and a sister to Martha Ann (Patsy) Kemp's husband William Franklin (Franklin) Climer, on 29 Oct. 1857 [SCTMR] in Smith Co., TN. Their children included: General Haskell (Haskell) Kemp (July 1858 - ~1933) [1860 USC] [1870 USC] [1880 USC] [1900 USC] [1910 USC/MTN] married Lethie/Leathy/Letha Franas Smith (Mar. 1860 - 11 Aug. 1914) [DDVT/MTN] [1880 USC] [1900 USC] [1910 USC/MTN], daughter of Daniel Johnson and Milicann Ann Davis Smith, 20 Nov. 1878 [SCTMR]. Letha Smith and Mary Smith, wife of Benjamin H. Kemp, were sisters.

"Cal's Column" / "The Macon County Times" of 17 May 1951 and 14 June 1951 include some anecdotes of this fine man. Their seven children included: Bessie T. Kemp (Mar. 1894 - ?) [1900 USC] [1910 USC/MTN] married Edgar James (Bugg) Cassetty / Cassety / Casity (31 Dec. 1890 - May 1975) [LDVSS] [1900 USC/MTN] [1910 USC/MTN], a son of Martin C. and Mary Elizabet Kirby Cassity 8 Apr. 1910 in Macon Co., TN.

I am also researching this line. I am interested in anything on the Climer or Kemp family. Bass Kemp Cassetty was my aunt by marriage to Edjah James Cassetty.

Here is my concern.  How do they connect. I know we found James/Jim in the 1880 census in district7 with the Austin Family.  Was Sarah E the wife of the head a Climer;  IF so who was her father.  ALso Many of my family have reference to Taylor Climer as an Uncle.  However I can Find no connection between them.  The other thing is that in Logan Co KY where he died.  I have found that the Austin line and the Soyar line connect and one of his daughters married a Soyar  And I have foun that this Austin Line leads back to this Austin Family he is with in the 1880 Census in Macon County KY.  I keep going in circles and getting more confused on this matter.

I hope that you are aware of the Library of Congress Veterans' History Project. The aim is to get on film as many veterans as possible, telling their stories. The first priority is for WWII Veterans, since they are, sadly, passing on so quickly. But all vets are urged to leave their memories. Ultimately these records will be available to anyone who is doing research in per tinent areas. Anyone who wants to participate in this project, the address is below: Veterans History Project American Folklife Center Library of Congress 101 Independence Ave., SE Washington, DC 20540-4615 tel: 202-707-4916 msg: 1-888-371-5848 fax: 202- 252-2046 email: _vohp@loc.gov_ (mailto:vohp@loc.gov) _www.loc.gov/vets_ (http://www.loc.gov/vets) Faith

Does the Library only want first person stories? I have an ancestor who was a Union soldier in the Civil War and have some stories about his service.

Teresa, How much information are you wanting on any particular veteran?  My uncle, Webb Washington West, was born in Macon County and served in WW II.  He did not grow up there, because he and his younger brother and sister were kidnapped by their father and grandfather when they were little and did not see their mother again for years.  His mother was Molly (White) West, who taught school in Macon County for many years.  That story, itself, might be of interest as an article in the MCHS newsletter.  I can provide additional information, pictures, etc., if desired. I am planning to be in Macon County for the June meeting and hope to be there by that Friday to do some research at the library and courthouse.
