Query Forum URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Franklin/14399 Subject: Robert Kerr Surname: Kerr, Arbuckle ------------------------- Hi Patricia, Don't know if you have seen this yet but thought I would pass it along. Marion Co., OH http://www.heritagepursuit.com/mhk1883.htm ROBERT KERR. (Scott Township) (1807) This well-known pioneer of Marion County was born in Mifflin County, Penn., October 27, 1807. and is the son of James and Betsy (Arbuckle) Kerr. The grandparents on both sides were natives of Ireland, named respectively James Kerr and William Arbuckle. Robert Kerr's father was a farmer, and migrated with his wife and family to Knox County, Ohio, in 1818 where he bought a farm of 160 acres in Clay Township. His wife Betsy died on this farm, aged forty-two years; he subsequently sold this farm to his son Robert, and moved to Licking County, Ohio, where he resided with his son-in-law, Aquilla Barber, until his death, at the age of eighty-seven years. Robert Kerr remained with his parents until nineteen years of age, receiving scarcely any advantages for securing an education. This continues on and is rather lengthy. My line is John Kerr 1745, Franklin Co., PA, m Mary Dougherty, son John M. moved to Gallipolis, OH.m. Christina Niswanger. Am still not certain of John 1745 parentage. Jeanne
