I'm looking for records for John and (Betsy McQuiston) Ann Kerr. In particular I am looking for the below info of a Sheriff's sale of land in Sugar Creek Twp. (now Washington Twp.) in 1809 and the Administration papers for her fathers (James McQuiston) Estate in Derry Twp., Westmoreland Co. as I believe the land mentioned below belonged to them.

I would be interested in ANY info on this family and if anyone knows where they went, children, etc...

Thanks,

Adjoining the northern part of that Denniston-McClatchey tract on the east is a partially bounded one, a rectangular parallelogram, if completely bounded, lengthwise, east and west, with the name of "Arch'd Denniston." John Kerr was its original settler, to whom it was surveyed by Ross, deputy surveyor, May 4, 1805, as containing 403 acres and 123 perches, with 350 acres of which, and 1 cow, he was assessed in 1805, at $93.50, and the next year with the same and 2 additional cattle, at 108.50. James Fulton obtained a judgment against Kerr, for $109.32 of debt, on which the latter's interest in this tract was sold by Jonathan King, sheriff, who conveyed it to Robert Orr, December 19, 1809, for $46, who conveyed it to Paul Morrow, December 21, 1810, for $50, which Morrow conveyed to Nathaniel Steward, April 9, 1813, for $200, who conveyed it to Joseph Taylor, August 12, 1816, for $1,000, the last-mentioned names being on it on the other map. The records do not show what became of Taylor's interest in it.
