Jim:

Saw your two year old note on TNGenWeb page. I am seeking information on Isabel Kerr who was born in VA about 1805, married a David Alexander 1/25/1827 in Greene Co. TN. They later moved to Indiana. Might this Isabel be the child of James that you mention in your posing?

   Mrs. Alexander was born in Green County, East Tennessee, and was the daughter of John Kerr, and at the age of twenty-two, she was married to David Alexander, and in 1833 with her husband moved to Indiana, and was a citizen of this county for some forty years.
