{173b} Henry Kemp and "Elinor" Panton were married in 1723. They had a
numerous family, including Michael, baptized May 2nd, 1731; Thomas,
baptized 1737, married 1768; and Robert, baptized 1740, married 1766.
Thomas and Robert were family names, which occurred in successive
generations. There were other branches of the family, whose
representatives still survive; including the Rev. Edwin R. Kemp, already
referred to, whose grandfather was first cousin of the last Thomas Kemp
residing at the Hall-garth. When the Kemp property was sold, a portion,
at one time belonging to William Barker, was bought by the Rev. R. E.
Kemp of Lincoln.

Rhyming Chronicle "Laweman's Brut," of date about A.D. 1205, we find
"Kemp" used as a parallel to "Knight," or warrior; as

"Three hundred cnihtes were also Kempes,
The faireste men that evere come here."
