? Kemp, 1800s, Louisiana
I've been doing research on the McGee family genealogy as part of an Oral History for the Lewisville Public Library. In particular, I've been looking for the parents of a Reuben (or Ruben) McGee (b. 1836 in ?, d. 1913 in Lewisville, Texas), who is reportedly from the Union Parish area in LA. I just recently found out that his mother's maiden name was Kemp.I have a hunch that his mother's given name may have been Olivia. He also had an uncle named Burrel Kemp, who was reportedly from Virginia. We think his father's name was also Reuben McGee. Reuben also had an
older brother named LuCurtis (Leucurtis). The story is that Reuben's father died before he was born in 1836. His mother later married again(probably many years later), to a Bristow or Bristol and is supposed to
be buried around Minden, LA.
Do any of these names sound familiar to anyone doing Kemp family research?
Thanks in advance.
