One of my many families in this area. There has been a book written about the family, but there must be more information and interested descendants around by now. Thomas KERR b.1816 , m.1832 to Agnes GARDINER b.1799 Came to NSW about 1840 and were in Portland in 1850 when their 8th and final child was born. Then they moved on to Casterton and Coleraine,where the children went their separate ways. The children were Elizabeth Adams b.c1833 Glasgow Jane b.c1836 Glasgow Andrew b.1837 , d.before 1840 Glasgow John Gardiner b.c1840 Glasgow Thomas Andrew b1843 Appin,NSW James Turner b.1845 Appin, NSW Matthew Hadkinson b.1848 , d.1854 Appin, NSW William Hunter b.1850 Portland Associated names with the above children are : HERD, PENHALL, WEBB,STRIPP, CRICK, BUCKLEY, LEWIS, COMPTON.
