Family:Samuel Kerr and Margaret Unknown (1)

Genealogy Report and Notes for Samuel Kerr and Margaret:

Note: Samuel probably had more children born prior to his migration to Augusta County, Virginia, most likely in Lancaster or Chester County, Pennsylvania. Any additional information (with sources)from other researchers is welcome.

Descendants of Samuel Kerr

Generation No. 1

1. SAMUEL2 KERR (JAMES1) was born WFT Est. 1715-1723. He married MARGARET ??? Bef. 1741. She was born Bef. 1723.

Notes for SAMUEL KERR: Samuel Kerr has not been "proven" to be a son of James Kerr, but there is strong and compelling evidence to make the assumption. In addition to land records indicating ownership of land adjoining James Kerr and/or his other sons, he was in Tinkling Spring, Augusta County, Virginia about 1741-1747, when he had four children baptized "in the congregation" : (source: "From Tinkling Spring, Headwaters of Freedom")

Samuel, bapt. 11/29/1741 Agness, bapt. 3/20/1743 William, bapt. 5/5/1745 Lucia, bapt. 12/13/1747

He is being placed as a son of James Kerr based upon his being in Augusta County at the same time as John Kerr, Andrew Kerr, and William Kerr, all listed as having children baptized in Tinkling Spring Church, near Staunton, Augusta County, Virginia between 1740-1749. John Kerr and William Kerr are mentioned in Augusta County records as being sons of James Kerr, John qualified as "eldest son" and therefore "co-adminstrator of the estate" of James Kerr's, who died in Augusta County in 1770. Unfortunately, it appears that James Kerr died intestate (without a will), and other records in Augusta County do not mention Samuel as frequently as other Kerr ancestors. There were several OTHER Kerr families that moved into the Augusta County from 1749-1760, but Andrew Kerr, John Kerr, Samuel Kerr and William Kerr were the only ones listed in the earliest records, shortly after Augusta County was formed about 1739. James Kerr has been mentioned as one of the earliest settlers in the Orange (later Augusta) County area. He purchased 473 acres of land in the Beverly Patent, Orange County, Virginia on February 29, 1739 (source: "From Tinkling Spring", pg. 418, and "Annals of Augusta County, Virginia"), almost right next door to John Pickens, brother of Lucy Pickens, who married John2 Kerr (James1). This area was to fall into the newly formed Augusta County a few years later. James Kerr is said to have built one of the first homes in the area (source: "Old Homes of Augusta County, The Pioneer Home of the Kerr Family", Gladys B. Chen).

August County land records, prior to Botetourt's formation, include these significant entries (abstracts): Nov. 19, 1760, Samuel Carr, or Kerr, and wife Margaret, conveyed to James Hughes and Andrew Greer for 120 pounds, 224 acres on Big Meadow Run by patent Aug. 16, 1756, Beverly Manor line (Deed Book No. 9, p. 18).

The following reference in Chalkley's Augusta County, Virginia records indicates a Samuel Kerr was no longer an inhabitant of Augusta County in 1773. This seems to support the migration from Augusta County, VA to Rowan County, NC (similar to that of some of his brothers and sisters):

MARCH 23, 1773.

 (56) Samuel Kerr--no inhabitant.

Notes for SAMUEL KERR: This Samuel Kerr MAY be the Samuel Kerr that married Mary Calhoun, daughter of Ezekial Calhoun and Jean Ewing of Lancaster County, PA, Wythe County, VA and Abbeville County, SC. He was killed in service in the Revolutionary War in 1781, and is listed in "Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution", by Bobby Gilmer Moss, pub. Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, Maryland, 1983, pg. 530. More research is necessary to establish this relationship. (Source: William Lindsey (e-mail: wlindsey@philander.edu))

Note: another researcher, David C. Galloway is doubtful that the Samuel Kerr that married Mary Calhoun is this Samuel Kerr, as that Samuel Kerr appears to have been born in 1759, according to other sources.Subj: Kerr-Pickens Date: 06/04/2000 2:50:12 PM Pacific Daylight Time From: indsch19@idt.net (William D.

Dear Jim,

I've just seen your posting to the Kerr discussion group at Rootsweb about your Kerr line. I believe we're researching the same family.

My line is Samuel Kerr, who was killed as a Revolutionary soldier in 1781. He m. Mary Calhoun. He and several other Kerrs--James, Andrew, William--settled among the Calhouns on Long Cane Creek in Abbeville Co., SC, in the 1760s. I have tracked Andrew with certainty back to Augusta Co., VA, in the region that became Botetourt.

You probably know that the Calhouns and Pickens connect. Mary Calhoun's sister Rebecca Floride Calhoun m. Gen. Andrew Pickens. I find all these families clustered together in Augusta Co. in the 1730s and 1740s (Orange before Augusta), and all seem to have come from the Lancaster Co., PA, region.

Will gladly swap information. I don't have a complete account of my Kerr line, since I only discovered all this recently, but have been rapidly acquiring information. Maybe my pieces will fit yours, and we can see a more complete picture.

Hope to hear from you,

W.D. Lindsey

My Kerr info who started out in Augusta County. Years ago I recall corresponding with some in the County about making sense out the three families. Vincent Brown Kerr's pamphlet, "Brief History of Kerrs and Kin, 1740 ;to 1930, Staunton, Virginia 1930 " has not helped me. Not even the Library of Congress' second copy with hand written notes.

In January 1998 I purchased a copy of William Kerr’s Revolutionary War Pension Record, R1719. The photocopy is difficult to read but there is more information in it than in the two summary letters prepared in the 1930’s. Because it is more nearly in his words I have excerpted parts of his three page pension application because it make him more real to me.

To wit. That he entered the service of this district as instructor about the first day of August in the year of 1776 as a First Lieutenant under the command of Col.
