Whitton Arkansas is located on 118 S Co Rd 33 6.61 miles from Tyronza Arkansas.
James H Kemp was born July 2, 1860 Carrolton, Carroll Co. Mississippi to Robert Kemp and Mary Ann Blow. There is conflicting information regarding the death of his father, Robert Kemp. We know he was in the civil War and came home on furlough. He never came home after his return to the war. Some speculate he died during the war but other records indicate he started another family. No grave has been found (to my knowledge) for Robert Kemp.
Mary "Blow" Kemp died 5-18-1927 in Carroll County, Mississippi. James moved to Drew County Arkansas where my grandfather, James Robert Kemp was born. James Robert Kemp's mother, Blanche Mann Kemp, died shortly after he was born. I have no information on children born after my grandfather.
1880 Mary is listed as a Widow
