Dear Wilbur, I don't have that information at this location; and would not probably know if this John Kerns was Junior or Senior as I am only familiar with the John of this particular will. Other than his will I know nothing more really about him. Thought he was probably related to those who moved into Monongalia County but do not know that either. Denis and Sarah are in 1850 Morgan county census with children Emily and John William. They appear in the 1860 Census of Monongalia County. Emily married a William Bown in Cumberland Records about May 1852 (I think). Thought this was a small family for Denis and Sarah as Son John William and daughter Emily had large families. Denis and son John William were listed as millwrights/or carpenters on the census. Ginger ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wilmer L.
