I lose track of Joseph and Elizabeth after the 1850 census. He is age 80 and she is 71. They are enumerated with their sons John ( I or J ), age 35 and Isaac, 33. They moved from Pa. with James K. CAUGHEY and others from Colerain,PA. around 1830ish. I have been trying to locate the family of my 4 g grandmother Elizabeth KERR,born in 1765 in Lancaster,PA. for 52 years. We had been told her father was a Joshia KERR from Barttownship, Lancaster, PA., But I have proved this almost impossible since he had moved to Mt Pleasant, Adams, PA. around 1755, long before she was born. So I am tracking another KERR line. John KERR, died in Bart,Lancaster in 1785. His will leaves his estate to his wife Martha and seven childern. One is an Elizabeth, Samuel, Joseph, Martha, William, John & James. One of the inventoriers of the estate was my 5 g grandfather, Francis CAUGHEY. Could be relation, Elizabeth's father-in-law. Could be also that they were I believe members of the same church , Middle Octarara Prebyterain. I found a letter written by James K. CAUGHEY, from Medina, Ohio, to his brother John K. CAUGHEY Jr.who lived in Bart, Lancaster,dated 1837, in which he mentions an Uncle Joseph and Aunt KERR. So again many thanks!!!
