The parents of Sarah are established in an article, which used Somerset Co, PA probate files: "Kemp Families" Laurel Messenger, Somerset, PA: Hist. Gen. Soc. of Somerset County, May 1995, vol.36, no.2, p208.
Her father was John T. Kemp, b. 12 Apr 1770, d. 21 Nov 1822 Addison Twp, Somerset Co, PA. In his probate file, 28-1823, he mentions dau. Sarah. The dates of birth and death for John T. Kemp (and his father) are established by his tombstone (Fischer). John resided the majority of his life in now, Addison Twp, Somerset Co, PA (census and tax records 1790-1820) and was Methodist.
Her mother was Massy (possibly Mercy) Kemp, d/o Edward Kemp. This is established by his estate file, 23-1831, wherein he mentions daughter Massy m. to John T. Kemp. Edward also resided primarily in Addison Twp (census and tax records 1790-1820) and was Methodist as well.
I need to dig a little further in tax records, but right now both parents were probably farmers.
Sorry Folks, no WFT's or GEDCOMs to back this up.
