  • Notes 
    • From the Cra(i)ghead book:
      By close figuring, and careful comparison of dates in records of their descendants, and assuming that the children are listed in their birth order, we arrive at the probably birthyears of this couple as c. 1740 and 1743 respectively. They could have been older.
      John Kemp appears in Franklin C., Va. Court records a number of times, 1786 to 1789, as member of the jury. In May, 1787, he signed a securety note for Richard Robertson, who later became his son-in-law. He was witness to a suit: Hale vs. Craghead, 1788, and was sued once himself, by Callaway & Co., but that suit was dismissed by order of plaintiff on May 5, 1789.
