Kemps of New England inaccuracies
I am not in any way an expert in the Kemp family, but have been informed recently, that my 4th greatgrandmother was Sarah Kemp, daughter of Ebenezer Kemp & Mary Bradstreet (Marah Broudstreet). Sarah married Amos Adams, s/o Mephibosheth & Jane. This information comes from a dilligent researcher Jan Hensley who found a 1818 Land Bounty Claim of Sarah Adams for brother William Kemp's Revolutionary War service, and is how Sarah is tied into the Ebenezer Kemp & Mary Bradstreet family.
I have a copy of “The Kemps of New England” by Arthur James Weise that states on p.150 William s/o Ebenezer Kemp & Mary Bradstreet b. 02 Sep 1753 Groton, Middlesex, Massachusetts married Abigail Clarke on 10 Oct 1769 in Billerica, Massachusetts.
1. James Kemp b. 11 Feb 1771
2. William Kemp b.27 Apr 773
3. Abigail Kemp b.5 Jun 1775
William Kemp Sr.served as a sergeant in the Revolutionary War
William Kemp Jr. married on Dec 4, 1800 Sarah Wilson
The problem lies in the fact that William s/o Ebenezer Kemp & Mary Bradstreet b. 02 Sep 1753 Groton, Middlesex, Massachusetts...died in 1797, leaving no issue. Author: Arthur James Weise connected the below William to this family, which was inaccurate. I have found another mistake as well....Has anyone else had difficulties with this published work?
