He was recalled by Garrit Storm to have lived, "splendidly and entertained in the first style for many years, when the fortune of the House of Gouverneur & Kemble were nearly overturned by their endorsements for Samuel Ogden, amounting to $250,000. It proved too much for the high mind of Mrs. Kemble, and she became partially deranged, which was soon succeeded by death. Mrs. Kemble was considered the most splendid woman of her day. Mr. Kemble survived his wife, and at his death left the wreck of his fortune, about $125,000, to his five children". Aside from his home in New York City, he had a country estate at Cold Spring, Putnam County, N.Y.
