Jim...Yes, the parents of Ella Mae Wilkerson Kemp were Pete Turner Wilkerson and Mollie Dora Kemp. (Do you need dates on them?) Ella Mae married Benton Raymond (Buster) Kemp. Where do you fit into this lineage?

Both families lived on Bluff Creek and Dyers Branch in Smith Co. It is thought that Martha A. Sadler who married Daniel Wilkerson was a Clark descendant. Her parents are thought to be Thomas Sadler and Mary Nancy Clark Sadler of Bluff Creek. There was a close connection between the children of Leonard Clark, my ancestor, and Mary Nancy Clark Sadler. She raised some of Leonard Clark's younger children. There are more connections to the Wilkerson family. James Monroe Wilkerson married Martha Scurlock, sister of Eliza Jane Scurlock who married Thomas Anderson Clark, my gggrandfather. Jim
