Yes I remember reading about Edward Sanders. Someone sent me some info from the Madison Co. History.
Here is the census information I have on this Kemp family.

1850 Smith Co. TN
Kemp, James A. 34 b. TN
Kemp Ellen 25 b. TN
Kemp William H. 7 b. TN
Kemp Elizabeth 5 b. TN
Kemp John 3 b. TN
Kemp James L. 1 b. TN

1860 Madison Co. MO, Polk Twsp.
Kemp James S. 43 b. TN
Kemp Eleanor A. 37 b. TN
Kemp William H. 17 b. TN
Kemp Elizabeth 14 b. TN
Kemp John N. 13 b. TN
Kemp James T. 11 b. TN
Kemp A? M. 9 b. TN female (probably Maggie)
Kemp Henderson P. 6 b. MO
Kemp Millard F. 5 b. MO
Kemp George F. 1 b. MO

1870 Smith Co. TN Dist#2 cdpg 21b. & 22a
Kemp Ellen 45 b. TN Keeping house
Kemp Henderson 18 b. TN farm laborer
Kemp Maggie 17 b. TN no occupation
Kemp Millard 15 b. TN farm laborer
Kemp Franklin 13 b. TN farm laborer
Kemp Braddock 11 b. TN farm laborer
Kemp Ellen Jr. 9 b. TN at home

The childern living in the household in 1870 were probably all born MO, Not TN.

I think this may be Eleanor Thomas and daughter Ellen Kemp living with the Givens family, but the ages are way off?

Ellen, Jr. didn't marry Samuel Hewitt until 1886. The 1900 Smith Co. Census is a little hard to read but it says Ellen has 3 or 5? children living in 1900. Of course there are many errors in census records so you can't always depend that they are acurate.

Hewet Beatrice? J. Oct? 1898? 2yrs dau

Here is daughter Maggie and her husband William Hewitt in 1880.

Thats all I have as far as marriages and possible marriages of James and Eleanor's Children.

If you will go to the Smith Co. website on rootsweb you will find all the census records, marriage records, cemetery records, court records and a lot more online.
