I'm Steve Kemp, I live in Davenport Iowa. Many members
of my family can be traced to Dubois County, Indiana. The Kemp's,
Hendrickson's, Cooper's, and Cox's are my direct line. I have
information that was written by my
g-g-aunt Isabelle Kemp Simmons in 1936, She lived to be 102 years old
and shared much of the early history in and about Patoka and Cass
townships. There are mentions of some of the neighbors in the book also.
There are a few unmarked graves disclosed in the book of persons in my
family and others as well. After the holidays I will post
a more complete list of burials in and around Dubois County. This is a
more complete list than can be found anywhere, except perhaps in George
Wilson's manuscript. I assume he interviewed Isabelle several times!
