JOHANNES CONRAD KRUMPF or KEMP


Johann and his wife and five children from Germany, arrived in Philadelphia on the ship "Samuel", which had sailed from England, on 17 Aug 1733. Johann is listed as age 48, which indicates that he was born c. 1685. (I later learned that he was born in Gallens Canton, Switzerland.) 

At Rootsweb World Connect, researcher Donna Fearnbaugh entered more information about Johann as follows:
In Germany, the family's residence was in the German Kraichgau area between Sinsheim and Bad Winpfen at the time of their emigration. Earlier, from about 1720, they lived in Untergimpern on the Branch of the Neckar River. Johannes served as the local judge, or magistrate, of Untergimpern in 1720. His occupation was listed as a farmer.

In August 1733, the family was living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In 1739, they moved to Kempstown, Frederick, MD (named after the founder, Johannes Krumpf or Kemp, our own seventh great grandfather.) In 1743 the Kemp residence was in Rocky Springs, Frederick, Maryland, a farm. It was on the 17th of May 1743 that Johannes received his naturalization papers from Annapolis, MD. Also, in 1743, Johann received communion at the Evangelical Reformed Church in Frederick, MD. In 1758, Johann became a member of that church.

Johann died in Frederick County, MD in 1764 and is buried alongside his wife at that county's Mount Olivet Cemetery.
