Hi Lisa,

I have done a quick lookup for you on your Kemple name. In the book, "The Early Germans of New Jersey" by T. Chambers; page 427-428.

Kemple
JOHAN PIETER KEMPEL came from Neuwied, on the river Rhine (near Coblentz) in Germany and resided in New York. His second marriage is recorded in the records of the Dutch Church in N.Y. city, as follows: Johan Pieter Kempel, Wedr. v. Niwit, met Maria Clouer, j. d. mede v. Niwit, beide wonen alhier. Translation, John Peter Kempel, from Neuwied, widower, from Neuwied, [married] to Maria Clouer, single person, from Neuwied, both dwelling here [i.e. in N.Y.]; the banns were proclaimed 16 Sept., and the marriage took place 22 Sept., 1745. It was probably the will of this Peter, who may have rem. to New Jersey, that was dated, Hopewell, 4 April, 1760, prob. 3 July, 1761, which names wife Mary and ch., Philip, William, Peter, Christian, and "others."

II. WILLIAM, prob. m. Elizabeth and had ch. bap. Alexandria church, at Mt. Pleasant, Hunterdon Co.: ch., Wilhelm, b. 13 June 1771.

Nothing is mentioned about Wilhelm's family. Hope this helps.

Carol
