I received an email from a descendent.He said the following:
Benjamin Franklin Kemp and Zackariah were the sons of Thomas Kemp of Tuscaloosa County, AL.The first wife of Thomas may have been Mary Middleton.Thomas married Mary Nevins in 1840.Thomas died about 1846 as did two of his brothers.Barney Kemp was named guardian of the children by the first wife and William Nevins for the children by the second.Benjamin was granted guardianship of his younger sister, Beddy, at the request of both.This was done about 1849.Barney, Benjamin, and Zack are listed in the 1850 Attala County, MS census.They soon moved into Louisiana, Bienville, Parish.This is #1580 in this forum.
