"I was married to W.M.
Kemp, whose father was a descendant of Levi Kemp. Our cash on hand was
one dollar. Mr. Kemp had thirty cents and I have seventy cents..."

registered at Tishomingo. Grandpa Kemp had a medal belonging to Levi Colbert
which he had received from services during the French and Indian War. Joe
Kemp in Tishomingo has the medal unless he sent it to the Oklahoma Historical
Society."

of W.M. Kemp, Chickasaw. Mrs. Kemp moved to Indian Territory with her parents
from Fannin County near Bonham, TX in 1891, locating near Yornsby.]
