Mary Kemp was the daughter of Sir Robert Kemp, 3rd Bt of Gissing in Norfolk and Letitia King.[1] Her parents' marriage date is used as the basis for a latest possible birth date, but it is also noted that some sources indicate that Sir Robert Kemp remarried in or before 1699, so we can be sure that Mary Kemp was not born in 1699, especially since she would have made a prohibitively young bride, herself:
He Sir Robert Kemp (3rd Bart) married firstly, Letitia, widow of Sir Robert Kempe of Finchingfield, Essex, daughter of Robert King of Great Thurlow, by Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Steward of Barton Mills. She died decessit sine prole mascula (s.p.m., without male issue). He married secondly, in or before 1699, Elizabeth. . . Brand. . .[2]
Mary Kemp married Edmund Bacon, 6th Baronet Bacon of Redgrave and MP for Thetford (later MP for Norfolk)[3][4] on 27 Nov 1712.[5]
Their two daughters, both of whom had issue, were:
Letitia Bacon (d. c. Apr 1758)
Sarah Bacon (d. 20 May 1767)
