Per a handwritten note from Aunt Leona - she states that Catherine Kemp was born in Albny New York in 1843.

We also have information that she was born in New York. On her marriage license it states NY. But with information obtained by Nellie Moore in Oregon, she feels that Christina was born in England and as an infant came to the United States. Her parents wanted her to be born in the US, so they had another birth certificate made stating so.
Per the funeral notice of Christina Catherine Kemp Dexter.
