I would appreciate any help in finding the census record for Robert Cunningham Kerr (or Karr) married to Leann (or Lee Ann) Mann circa 1850. They probably would be in Montgomery county. Thanks so much. Pris Squires

Which census year are you requesting?

Pris, You didn't specify a census year, but I searched the entire state for both 1850 and 1860 hoping to find something that matched what you requested. Found a Robert Car with a female in his household in 1860 Montgomery County whose initials are L. A. Fits your request, but can't be the Robert Kerr who married Leann Mann in 1850 because this L. A. Car's age in 1860 was given as 20, which would have made her only 10 in the 1850 census. What else do you know that might help someone find this family? The bare necessities to perform a decent search is approximate age, race, and place of birth. Do you know? Where do you find them in later census years? Sorry I wasn't able to help.

Actually, I think that is her Robert and Lee Ann in 1860. Here they are in 1850: 1850 Montgomery Co, AL, Dist 2, page 166 William Carr 70 IRE farmer Jane 60 NC John 33 NC Robert 31 NC Adaline 24 AL same dist page 190: Emeline Mann 35 SC Lee A. 14 AL Frances M. (female) 8 AL Joseph 6 AL Elizabeth J. 5 mos AL 1860 Montgomery Co, AL, dist 2, page 125 Robert Carr 41 AL farmer L. A. 20 AL Wm 7 AL Mary A. 6 AL E. L. 3 AL Margaret E. 6 mos AL In 1880 Lee Ann is a widow age 46, Montgomery Co, page 506 Children are consistent with the 1860 record. I can't locate them in 1870 which is probably the record that she is searching for. I think it's just another case of the 1870 being somewhat incomplete.

What I have is Robert Cunningham Kerr x Lee Ann Mann (born 1838, died 1919). I have a marriage date of 10 Jan., 1854, but that may be wrong. Lee Ann is half Cherokee Indian, if that would make any differnece. Robert's father was born in Scotland we think. Any help is appreciated very much. These Carrs are elusive---maybe its that horse thief in the family.

Pris, I'm going to assume that this request is answered unless you have doubts. Robert's father is shown as born in Ireland in the 1850 record which I posted. That's close enough for me. Based on the 1860 and the children's ages, I suspect an 1854 marriage is about right. Lee Ann's birthyear bounces around in the census record. The 1850 would indicate 1836, the 1880 shows 1834 and the 1860 says 1840. Again, that's close enough I think. If you disagree, then we'll look some more.
