STORY OF ZACH KEMP by great grand daughter Kay Taylor
Zacharias Kemp born July 18, 1830 in Alabama who migrated to Texas with his mother and siblings in the 1850's. In Central Texas, Zacharias Kemp wed Louisa Adaline Glazner on December 17, 1857 at the age of twenty-five. The young couple were both prepared to establish a new home in this fertile farmland due to their rugged heritage.
On August 4, 1859 Zacharias and Louisa became the proud parents on their first child, George Green Kemp, and two years later on August 16, 1861 they were blessed with their second child, Cornelia. Soon after Cornelia was born, regiments begin forming in Texas to fight in the Civil War, and Zach did his part by hauling supplies for the troops. Louisa remained at home to take care of the children as well as the planting, plowing and harvesting of their small plot of land.
As the story is told by L. Z. Webb, a grandson of Zach and Louisa, their first born died in 1865, and the family moved to Milam county due to the rash of malaria in Bell county which was probably the cause of George Green's death at the age of six. In Milam county they soon discovered that they had not rid themselve of this dreadful disease for malaria was rampaging this location as well, thus they moved further west on the frontier to Mason county.
