      CAR / CARR / KER / KERR
      I am looking for people researching Peter KERR, Joseph KERR and James KERR; Peter in White Co by 1811, Joseph by 1812 and James by 1819.
      All 3 may have been there much earlier. These dates are dates from White Co Minute Books. I believe this is the same James and Joseph KERR that received NC land Grants in 1788. Any info would be most appreciated. I will have a follow up post. Thank you. Peggy Gunter

      I would like to find the descendants of Alexander Winkfield KERR, Jr., born c. 1861. He was the son of Alexander W. KERR, SR. and Laminda Moore KERR. After the death of his father in 1862 and his mother in 1876, he was adopted by his grandfather, Levi Jarvis KERR, who died in 1897 in Doyle, Tennesee. Any information would be appreciated.
