Book Excerpt* 
The T. Brenton Smith files do not list the children of Prince William and Charlotte (Hart) Snow,
They overlooked the fact, however, that John Kempton was also a very firm and determined person. Young Kempton caught the Sheriff, one day, in the saw-mill at the lower falls. The Sheriff was a tall, powerful man but John Kempton had youth on his side. Kempton succeeded in getting his opponent floored and, holding a weapon over him, frightened him so badly that he quickly gave his consent to their marriage. John, being still under age, went to his father, Richard Kempton, and, paying him money, bought himself out of his time. In Sept., 1794, John Winslow Kempton and Sarah Snow were married. He built, and they occupied the house that at the present time is occupied by Mrs. George Hemeon (nee Winnie Hartlen), whose husband was a Kempton descendant. The house is situated not far from the lower bridge at Milton and not far from the mill where the incident took place. John was a tanner and his tannery stood near the road, somewhat opposite the present home of Wilson H. Kempton.

The John Kempton, Senior, house built in 1794.
John Kempton is described as being "a tall man who reminds one of the pictures of Uncle Sam." He was full of fun and loved a joke and always UD to some trick. Since the numerous descendants of John Kempton are also descendants of Nicholas Snow, they are all entitled to membership in "The Snow Family Association of America", if they wish to join. Your writer hopes soon to be able to publish her findings on the Kempton Family of Nova Scotia which, where she has received sufficient cooperation, will contain much information concerning the descendants of John Kempton, Sr., his three brothers, and of his sisters also, if it may be obtained.3
