James KERR

IanButt — 6 Sep 2004 5:07:23 GMT

Hi All,

My 2 x Great Grandfather was James KERR. I have not been able to find any information about him at all.

James and Sarah Anderson TREGARTHEN had 13 children in Tasmania and Victoria, Australia between 1841 and 1864.

Sarah was bp 11 Jul 1819 in St Mary’s Wesleyan Church, Hugh Town, Scilly Isles Parish, Cornwall, England (d. of James TREGARTHEN and Joyce BANFIELD); Died 11 Jul 1906 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

To date I cannot ID any BDM information on James KERR and have been told by different people that he came from Ireland, Scotland and England. There are too many James KERR deaths in Victoria that could be “my” James and I would love to find his marriage and birth / baptism.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Ian Butterworth.

KERR/MORTON Families of Fermanagh, Ireland > PA (1765)

erols.comGeorge W. Page — 2 May 2005 4:22:41 GMT

I am seeking to contact reserchers with knowledge of the KERR Family of co. Fermanagh, Ireland prior to 1765.

Edward MORTON was married to Jane KERR probably in KENAWLEY Parish, co, Fermanagh prior to 1760. He immigrated with his brothers (and possibly Robert KERR) to PA in 1765.

An Edward Morton together with Thomas Morton and William Morton appear on the 1785 Tax List of Belfast Township, Bedford Co., (now Fukton Co.), PA.. Robert Kerr was also on the list [History of Bedford County, p. 654]

Edward appears as Edward Mortin on page 255 of the 1790 Federal Census of (Somerset Twp.), Washington Co., PA with (3, 1, 2, 0, 0). Robert KERR was nearby and appears on p. 256 with (2, 2, 3, 0, 0)

Rosa Lee (KERR) SCEGRAVES 1893-1944/ brothers Clay W. & Ryan KERR

FireRaven — 22 Apr 2008 5:11:54 GMT

92 year old man needs help locating descendants of Rosa Lee KERR SCEGRAVES of El Paso, NM. She was born abt 1893-1895, died 5 Dec 1944 in El Paso, TX. She lived at 2311 Radford Ave. in El Paso,TX at the time of her death. Rosa Lee had lived in EL Paso, TX for 24 years. She was buried in Restlawn Cemetery in El Paso, TX.

Survived by a daughter Miss Margie Scegraves of El Paso, TX, and two brothers Clay Witten KERR of Oklahoma City and (Oliver) Ryan KERR of Tulsa, OK. Parents are Oliver Hale Kerr and Ida Witten. Her dad was born 7 Jul 1854 Grundy, Mo. Died 20 Jul 1936 in Fredrick, Tillman, OK. Other brothers include John Strother Kerr, Sidney Williams Kerr.

I need confirmation on the husband of Rosa Lee that I believe might be James Robert Scegraves/Seegraves/Seagraves. I believe they married in OK or TX in about 1916-1917 and had their daughter known as Margaret on the 1920 census in NM. James Robert or Robert J. or J.R. SCEGRAVES possibly died in Sierra Co, NM in April 1941.

Joseph Weber, age 92 is searching for his mother Vera
Seagraves/Weber/Stone/. She was born April 16 1900 in Louisiana to Thomas S. Seagraves and Ada Rowand. She had two brothers Walter Dempsey Seagraves b. 1894 near Jonesboro, Louisiana and had only one son Jack Dempsey Seegraves who died April 2008. James Robert Seegraves b. 27 NOV 1895 in Clay, Louisiana. and married Rosalie/ Rosa Lee (maiden name unknown if it is not KERR) They had only one daughter Margaret that we know of as found on the 1920 Silver City, NM census.

Vera separated from her first husband Kenneth P. WEBER in 1920 in Kansas or New Mexico. Joseph (aka Virgil) age 4 was sent to a boys orphanage in Albuquerque, NM and his younger sister Mabel Inez (aka Marjorie Mabel) was given to a foster family in Potter Co, TX by the name of Horace and Claudia (DOBBS) GAITHER. Joseph Weber was reunited with his long lost 90 year old sister just one month ago. Now they really want to know what happened to their mother and whether they have any half siblings still alive.

Vera, by all accounts was going to come back for the kids. She never did. She married a 2nd time to Benjamin Hatchet "Joe" STONE in Deming, NM in Oct 1921 but she left that marriage by February 1922 after 4 months. Hatchet's divorce plea looks for her in San Diego, CA in 1922 as Vera STONE or Billy STONE. She never showed up for court so a "no contest" divorce was given to Hatchet in Central, Grant Co, NM. This is the last we are able to trace her. We are hoping to find descendants of Vera's brother James Robert and Rosalie/ Rosa Lee Seegraves/ Scegraves who cam perhaps lead us to where Vera went after 1922.

lizzie jones kerr....form pa and conn

chaughey0011 — 25 Apr 2008 4:25:44 GMT

I think the most significant is the 1860 Census of Butler Township.. Apparently the village of Gordon. Here’s the Shultz Family as they are listed.

Shultz, Valentine 47 (1813) Prussia

Mary 46 (1814) Prussia

Mary 17 1843 Prussia

John 15 1845 Prussia

*Suzanne 12 1848 Prussia

Mathias 11 1849 Prussia

Catherine 6 1854 PA

Barbara 2 1858 PA

By 1870 Census we see Valentine is dead and most of the children have died, married, or moved on. There are two new kids with widowed mother Mary in that next census. I’m confident it is the same family because they have a lot of the same neighbors as in 1860 and Gordon is a tiny village. So, they are in the same house as the decade earlier.

I had still expected to see the 2 year old Barbara, now 12, with the mom, but she could have died. Catherine already as a 16 year old would be out working as a live-in domestic…if not already married. Son, Mathias we will see has married a Lizzie, and Suzanne is with your Evan Thomas. John not noted anywhere in the county, and Mary is probably under a married name that we have no way of discovering unless we get lucky.

Here’s the much smaller family in Gordon, Butler Township, Schuylkill, PA of 1870

Shultz, Mary 52 Prussia

Peter 9 PA

Christiana 6 PA

Now some analysis.

I found death records for Valentine in 2 separate places …

1.) Records of St. Joseph/St. Mauritius (German) Cemetery Tombstone Transcription

Scholtes, Valentine b. 1818, d. 1863 (I made a copy for you)

2.) Deaths from the Pottsville Miner’s Journal. (Newspaper)

Schultze, Valentine, 46 Butler Twp., died 5- 20 – 1864 native of Germany.

Note his last child is born the year of the death… it falls logically that we see no younger children than this… can’t have any more once you’ve died. So it helps lock in the 1870 census family as his. Also his age in 1864 (46) …and more over wife Mary’s age would also prohibit further children. Seems they pushed the limits of child bearing years.

Daughter Susan’s marriage to Evan Thomas Jones fits pretty neatly into the chronology. She marries 18 Feb 1868…4 years after he father’s death… so she helps her mother a few years, then marries….and therefore not in this 1870 census with Schultz family. Still cannot locate her and Evan in 1870…hiding from census takers.. I’ve scanned the entire USA for hours. No luck.

Additionally, Susan’s obit mentions she was “of Fountain Springs” “prior to her marriage”, and that is even more in the proximity of Gordon/Butler Township than saying Ashland. Upon marriage she seems to reside in William Penn, Girardville, and Centralia.

This is the only possible Schultz family to possibly match up. The dozen or so other families with the name just don’t align. I’ve eyeballed them all very closely, and they cannot fit. So despite the enigmatic “Mother’s name Emma” on Susan’s death record… I feel this is truly her parents and family.

Realize that the informant, daughter Lizzie Jones Kerr could not name Valentine by first name, did get the Shultz and then had “Emma” recorded on what should be Susan’s maiden name. Line for her first name was left blank.. so I sense confusion.. or she just did not know.

Back to the Schultes family…

The youngest Schultz girl, Christina also can be traced a bit. I find a matching marriage license to her year of birth and other known data. I have a copy for you. She marries a John Reichwein who is 25, residing in Butler Twp. Christine Schultz was born 7-5-1863 and resides in Ashland, and by occupation a servent. Marriage July 27, 1887 by R. A. Watta?

In 1880 census… I locate both the unmarried Christine and the brother Matthew.

Christie Schultz is 17 and a servent in Mahanoy City (down the road)

She is with the Wadlington Family. She is born PA, father Prussia, Mother Bavaria.

Schultz, Mathew 26… PA, Prussia, Prussia

Lizzie 21 Prussia, Prussia, Prussia.

After 1880 Christie Schultz Reichwein as well as he spouse John seem to disappear... of course 1890 has no census and by 1900 anything could have happened.. his death, her remarriage???

Matthew we do have a record. He dies and is buried in the same cemetery as his father Valentine.

* Records of St. Joseph/St. Mauritius (German) Cemetery Tombstone Transcription

Mathias Shultes geb. 12.26.1850 gest. 5.28.1887 36 years, 5 months, 2 days

bbffrrpp — 22 Apr 2008 1:24:46 GMT

Hello. I haven't posted in a long time. For this morning, I'd just like to say that I would love to connect up with other descendants of:

Robert and Elizabeth (HENDERSON) KERR
who were born in the Prov. of Quebec, Canada, in 1827.
They were married there in 1852 and then had 5 children.

They and 4 of their children came down to Massachusetts
in 1870's and 1880's.

Then I am descended from their son,

William and Elizabeth (HANNAH) KERR
who married in 1876 in Malden, MA, and then had
maybe 6 children. (I need to check my notes.)

Betty (near Lowell, MA)

P.S. Also would love to hear from other descendants of the KERR's and HENDERSON's who arrived in the Prov. of Quebec in 1823 and 1824 and settled in Argenteuil County.

I am after any other Kerr's who have Gilbert Kerr in their tree. He was born in 1870 Midlothian, Scotland.Father was Duncan Kerr & mother was Janet Cunningham. He went on a Polar expedition aboard ship called Scotia 1902-1904. He was the official piper aboard Scotia. There is a picture of him on expedition piping to an Emperor Penguin on the ice. (if you google Gilbert Kerr, you will see picture). I have tried many ways to find links to my Kerr's, maybe this will work.
Look forward to hearing from anyone with a connection.

Perfect gift for the family historian

jcarrgensearch — 19 Dec 2007 1:37:18 GMT

A family paternal line haplotype is a great Christmas gift for the family historian. Please consider a YDNA test of your Kerr paternal line male relatives when you tell your loved ones what gift would be meaningful to you this year. Hidden family connections to others who are related to your family history are being revealed by YDNA testing. The Carr Family DNA Genealogy Project will assist you finding YDNA matches to your Kerr paternal line YDNA haplotype. The YDNA chromosome is passed from father to son virtually unchanged from generation to generation. YDNA can also tell you the ancient population group your ancestors likely belonged to. Testing is simple, inexpensive and fast. You can learn what paternal line YDNA has to tell you in less than six weeks.

A limited number of discounts are available at this time on paternal line, YDNA, and maternal line, mtDNA testing, please e-mail me for details.

Learn more about the Carr Family DNA Genealogy Project and the wonderful opportunities it provides at the websites below.

BRICK WALL-----John KERR 1785 in Bart Twonship

connectadotgirl — 3 Dec 2007 2:49:53 GMT

I am looking for further information on John KERR ( KARR ) and his family. Martha, his wife, and children; Elizabeth, William, John, Samuel, Joseph, Martha and James.
John KERR died in Bart Township in May of 1785. I have no more information on him or his family. After the will was probated leaving 1/8 th of his estate to each I can find no other trace of them. I do believe from the way that the will was written that he may have had minor children. A search in the orphans record in Lancaster does not show any guardians court appointed for them, other than the will stating that they are to remain with their mother and not leave without her permission.
Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

William Kerr, lawyer cir. 1830's

wabood — 23 Aug 2003 2:32:26 GMT

Does anyone know how I might find information about my ggggrand father who was a lawyer in Scotland cir. 1830's. Is there a source listing lawyer's of that time? Where can I start to look for records of that kind. Are there any?

I really have no other good concrete information about William except that he was married to Mary Stewert or (Stuart). They had two sons born to them in Scotland, James and John and possibly a daughter. They arrived in the United States in 1841 in either North or South Carolina. William died in 1842 from the Yellow Fever outbreak. Mary and her family migrated to Mississippi to a cotton plantation owned by the family named 'Pickens' where she bore her son Soloman Rufus in 1842. Soloman was raised on the cotton plantation there with the slaves and never learned to read or write. He migrated to Kentucky abt. 1868 when he married Orissa Belle Son. As for the other sons of William and Mary, John went to Australia and died there. James became a doctor in Baltimore, Maryland and died abt. 1879.

at a dead end...

angikelley — 29 Nov 2007 4:28:17 GMT

I would greatly appreciate any information that anyone can share on the following names in my family history.

John Thomas Kerr 1867-1959 m. Nancy Catharine 1847-1965
I believe that Nancy Catharine was a Blair. Her parents may have been James William Blair and Catharine Holton.

I know names of their children...or atleast six children that I have found, one of which was Henry Kerr. Henry was my great grandfather. My grandfather passed away five years ago and I have not been able to get any information futher back than John Thomas. Any information would be welcome.

My mother had a daughter after my father left named Abra.Sorry for being so long winded, but this is all I know.

Thank you for any and all information

Have you Searched the Archives ?

Hello. I just wanted to remind researchers to search the archives of the Boards for your surnames and/or place-names.

(And the same for the Mailing Lists.) (And, don't forget the Message Boards at www.genforum.com )

My KERR and HENDERSON ancestors left County Sligo, Ireland, as a family group in 1823. They went to Canada, probably arriving in Quebec City, but were forced to settle in Argenteuil County.

There is much more information in the archives of the Boards and Lists.

Will of William Kerr, Augusta County, VA - proved in 1785

In transcribing this will, any words that were unclear to me have been underlined. Unusual capitalizations and punctuations have been left as they appeared in the text. A blank underline indicates words that were completely illegible. For those readers unfamiliar with Latin terms used in wills, “in primis” means above all else.
