| George Washington Kemp & His Descendants |
Hello Scott, I am a descendant of Nathaniel L. Kemp and on Sunday I paid my first visit to the Kemp Family Cemetery at Cottage Grove, Tennessee and took photos of the Kemp gravemarkers there. I will be glad to share them with you for posting on your web site if you would like to have them. Just let me know. I'm very interested in the DNA research/results that you have posted. Keep up the good work! Best Regards, Jeff Washburn Dresden, TN |

The inscription reads "There will be no cripples in heaven," leaving one to summarize that Allen had some type of disability that was crippling. It is doubtful that he suffered some injury during the Civil War since he was only 11 years old at the onset of the war. Photo 033--Gravestone of G.W.
