Dear Ve Nolan,
I am writing to you concerning your search for ancesters of Thomas L. Stemp.
I have been helping my wife with her family tree recently, and today I came across the father of Sheila's (my wife) great great grandmother. Her great grandmother was Mary Stemp. According to the 1880, Thomas L. Stemp was living in Clyde, Wayne County NY with his wife at the time and their children. I guess sometime soon after that the family moved to Hoosick Falls (where Sheila was born and raise herself), and Thonas L. must have remarried at some point.
During the 1930 census, two of Thomas L.'schildren were living at 10 Ball Street, Hoosick Falls. Mary A. Stemps was the head on the household (she was a widow), her daughter Marguerite,son Arthur, Daughter in law Ruth, grandson Arthur and her sister Minnie E. Stemp.
I would be most interesting in hearing form you, and finding out more about the Stemp side of the family.
kindest regards
Paul Leach
