Surname Saturday - KEMP

It's Surname Saturday - and I am working my way down my Ahnentafel List. Each week I am highlighting one surname line.

This week the surname is KEMP. The first generation guy is John Kemp, who magically appears in the Albany-Schenectady area of New York in about 1760. He fights in the Revolutionary War on the Loyalist side, and migrates to Canada with his family after the War. I think that he may be an English soldier in the French and Indian War. One record lists him as "of Merriland."
