From New Bedford Streets: A Piece of Americana: Kempton Street

Kempton Street is one of the most trafficked streets in the city, and the Kempton family name is one of that goes back to the very origins of New Bedford and the arrival of the first Europeans in the New World.

The first mention of a Kempton in the historical record is from 1623. The names Manasses/Mannasseh and Ephraim Kempton (though other documents suggest he came later) are mentioned as arriving on the ship Anne, or possibly on the Little James. Both were born in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England, of parents George Kempton and Mary Jersey.
