> Still searching for any info about a John KERRr(CARR) who apparently settled in Chester Cnty. after leaving "Unicorn Plantation, Talbot Manor, Maryland. He died 1743 in Chester Co. Don't know who they were but I think there were some CARR and/or KERR fairly early in New Castle County, Delaware, not very far away from your focus area. Here's a potential lead. I have nfi about this John CARR, but it might be worth checking if only to rule out: One John CARR is noted by Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig to have come to the New Sweden colony. Supposed to have arrived in the 10th voyage. Don't know what year that was, but must be 1638 or after, until 1656. He is mentioned in SCS Newsletter, #19, of 1999. (this link will take you to all of those available online) http://www.colonialswedes.org/Publications/SCNews.html Dr. Craig's cross-index to New Sweden Settlers is found here, quite a handy resource: http://www.genealogia.fi/emi/emi3d41ae.htm Best of luck, Liz J

I'm always interested in our Swedish ancestors, and so tried to find Kerr in the #19.....but couldn't .....as you know where his name is located, could you let us know in what article, or just copy and paste it to the list? I have Dr Craig's wonderful book on THE SWEDES ON THE DELAWARE....1693 CENSUS ....and, cannot find any reference to Carr/Kerr, etc in the index. As this is, as the title suggests, a book about those considered Swedes (and Finns, etc) who lived in New Sweden, and who are included in that 1693 census......but, not everyone who lived in the colony.....so, Englishmen, etc generally aren't in the book. S. One John CARR is noted by Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig to have come to the New Sweden colony. He is mentioned in SCS Newsletter, #19, of 1999.
