Kemp, dated 20 April 1877, recorded 23 April 1877; imaged, "Courtland, Land and Property 1876-1880" FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSY9-BSD3-D : accessed 30 August 2024), page 569, image 121 of 830; original records in Norfolk County (Ontario) Registrar of Deeds, Simcoe, Ontario, microfilmed and imaged by FamilySearch.
This is a Derivative Source (because it is a court clerk's transcription of the original mortgage discharge) with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the mortgage number, the mortgagor and mortgagee, and the dates of the mortgage discharge and registration. I searched Full-Text Search for the actual deed #32608 and did not find it.
James Abraham Kemp (1831-1902) was born 22 May 1831 in Hillier, Prince Edward County, Upper Canada, the son of Abraham and Sarah (Fletcher) Kemp. He died 19 September 1902 in Delhi, Norfolk County, Ontario. James married (1) Mary Jane Sovereen (1840-1874), daughter of Alexander and Elizabeth (Putman) Sovereen, on 10 March 1861 in Middleton, Norfolk county, Canada West. They had five children. After Mary Jane (Sovereen) Kemp died in 1874, James Abraham Kemp married (2) Melissa Wilson (1840-1902) on 16 November 1876 in Bell Ewart Innisfil, Simcoe County, Ontario. They had one child.
James Abraham and Mary Jane (Sovereen) Kemp are my 2nd great-grandparents. I am descended through their daughter Georgianna Kemp (1868-1952), who married Charles Auble (1849-1916) in 1898.
