Surnames: Kersey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HBC.2ACI/783 Message Board Post: I am looking for more information on Kerseys of Campbell and Charlotte County. I have this documented information from Charlotte County, but need more info. Does anyone know of any Kersey family graveyards, or churches where there may be a lot of Kerseys buried? Here is info collected so far: Trying to research my great grandmother Clara Jane Kersey. Here is what I have so far: Thomas Kersey, born about 1800 married to Unknown father of William T. Kersey a widower, who married widow of Rufus B. Perrow , M E. St. John I have not yet figured out who Williams previous wife was, but I feel sure they had children. M. E. St. John married Rufus B. Perrow on Sept 14, 1876. She was given as age 23, single, he was given as age 26, single. Her parents were Jacob St. John and S. F. Unknown. M. E. born in Charlotte County, Rufus born in Buckingham County. _______________ M.E. marries William T. Kersey on July 14, 1881, both born in Charlotte Co. residing in Campbell County. He is 50, and she is said to be 26, but I think a little older. They have 2 documented children, Clara Jane Kersey married Emmett Gray Johnson Lelia Kersey married a Davis William T. Kersey died and M E Marries Widower Charles A. Johnson (age 40) on March 20, 1896 Charles is the Widower of Jenny? Charles already had a son Emmett Gray Johnson, who marries Clara Jane. M. E. and Charles Johnson had at least two children Cora Johnson and Charlie R. Johnson ______- M. E. had a nickname, Molly, and I believe that M. E. either stood for Mary Elizabeth or Martha Elizabeth, most likely Mary. Clara Jane was born June 2, 1882 and died Jan 5, 1962. She is buried in Bethel Churchyard, Charlotte County, Va. Emmett Gray Johnson was born 1876, died 1930, and is buried in old family plot, Rough Creek Va. in the woods. I thought this info might help some. Also found a Thomas E. Kersey in Bethel graveyard, born Feb 28, 1868 and died July 8, of either 1940 or 1948. Dont know where he fits yet. I believe he may be the son of William and 1st wife.

I can't help you with this family except to tell you if you can make the links, there is a lot of information in King George co VA in the mid and later 1700's of a Kersy family there. I've got a hunch they also connect to the Keesee family found through King George, Caroline, and later into early Pittsylvania, and later Campbell Co (as well as AL, KY< etc). All the Keesee's (aka Kissee/Kozee/Kaze/etc) seem to come from one George Keesee (also found as Kersey) in King George Co VA. Hence why I was looking at those names in King George Co VA. Could be your earlier ancestors moved from King George to Charlotte and thus to Cambpell Co. BUT that doesn't help you with the ones you asked about.
