Hello, I have looked for the past two years for the ancestors of Jonathan
Kemp. I now learn that he served in the NC Militia [Burkes Regiment]
under
the name of Jonathan Camp. Our confusion has been with the use of
the
name
Camp and Kemp. He was living in St. George Parish [Burke County],
Georgia
when with the upheaval in Georgia in the American Revolution he took
his
family to North Carolina and served in the NC Militia in Burkes Regiment
[Burke County, NC] under Major McDowell and other officers in the Battle
of
Kings Mountain and other related battles.
Lieutenants Camp and William Chew along with Captain Campbell were
wounded in
the Battle of Kings Mountain.
Captain Jonathan Camp returned to St. George Parish [Burke County],
Georgia
where he and other Camps and Kemps claimed land. A Solomon Kemp
seems to
be
related to Captain Camp. We find many documents where in the same
document
the name is signed Camp and Kemp. We believe another spelling may be
Kempf.
It seems Captain Camp on his return to Burke County, Georgia after the
American Revolution is probably using the name Kemp. He left Burke
County,
Georgia with his family and settled in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana
in
about
1802 and definitely took the name Kemp.
None of the above is proved to be as explained in the narrative above.
This
is my summary in trying to connect to Jonathan's ancestors.
Previous
efforts
to connect to the William Kemps in North Carolina has not been
successful. It
appears this family may have arrived in America in about 1740 in
Savannah, GA
and lived on both sides of the Savannah River in GA and up to the
Pendlaton
District of SC. I am new to your list, having been active on the
Kemp
mail
list. I am listing below information on Captain Kemp [Camp] and hope
you
find
a connection or corrections and additions to this family with your
knowledge
of the Camps in this area or knowledge of Captain Jonathan Camp of
Burkes
Regiment in the North Carolina Militia.
Many Thanks,
Don Dunnington
