Cranbury/Cranberry's First Presbyterian Church shows they became members in 1747 as a couple (also with them is an Elanor KERR???); that there are baptisms for children in 1751 (unnamed) and 1756 (Joseph); and that contributions were made by John KERR Jr. in 1758 for the church parsonage. These records were originally researched by me, because my ancestor Walter KERR/KARR stated in his Rev. War pension (which alludes to a bible) that he was born in West Windsor, NJ in 1759 . West Windsor's Presbyterian Church was not organized then, and Cranbury would have been the closest ministry. Unfortunately there is no baptismal record there for my Walter. The family then appears to migrate to Upper Freehold, Monmouth County, NJ. They may have followed Reverend Charles McKnight, who was the minister for both Cranbury and Allentown Presbyterian Churches, but after 1759 went solely to Allentown. My ancestor Walter enrolled in the Rev. War in Upper Freehold. He later marries an Elizabeth PAGE about 1782; location unknown. I believe this John KERR Jr. is the son of Walter KER's eldest son John; who is not well documented. There is a 1756 deed from John KERR Jr. to Daniel CARSON (Middlesex County); once again confirming he was the son of a John! No prior deed has been found, detailing John's acquisition of this land. Caution has to be maintained regarding this John & Martha KERR, because there is also a John & Martha in Washington Co., PA (refer to James KERR pension and Ancestry.com trees) in the same time period; adding to the confusion of who might be John & Martha's parents. Hope someone with a KERR bible for John & Martha sees this info; or, who has a bible with birth/baptismal dates of 1751(unnamed); 1756 (Joseph); 1759 (Walter), and possibly others (Nancy). Any further insight would be greatly appreciated!
