Biography

Research Notes

Elizabeth Kemp was previously attached as the spouse of Puritan Great Migration settler William Adams (abt.1594-1661). As there was no evidence supporting her identification as his wife, the connection was severed.

There are two records associated with this profile which seem incongruous:

• Birth, 10 Apr 1598 in Cornwall^[1]
• Marriage to an unknown groom 7 Jul 1625 at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire^[2]
