Assumed

| Marble stone – | no inscription Possible headstone for Jacob Kemp, probable father of Theobault (“Dewalt”) Kemp. Jacob’s name appears as the only Kemp on the list of individuals in Maxatawny who paid quit-rents prior to 1734. He wrote his will on 22 March 1735 and it was proved on 11 June 1735 in Philadelphia. A record in Ancestry.com summarizing this will lists the household members named in the will as “Dewald” and “Anna.” Anna is almost certainly Jacob’s wife, who is listed on the 1759 tax list for Maxatawny as “Widow Kemp.” She is likely to have been buried alongside her husband. |
