Ed, In response to your KERR inquiry; I am pretty well defined on all the KERRs of Maries County and their in laws. Although the William strikes a nerve,because there were many; Looking thru the rest of your folk. I noticed a "Littleton" . There was a Andrew Littleton Piper mentioned on the KERR surname rootsweb list. But he was not a relationship to the Maries County Kerrs. There were two lines of KERRs; The KEHRs who were German/Dutch and the KERRs (Carr,Karrs) who were all my kin from Ireland. I would advise you to get on the list for KERRs and ask about Andrew Littleton Kerr of Missouri. But if you think your bunch are from Maries tell me more Maries info...I do more looking.
