Person:James Kerr (93)

Possible migration for this James Kerr? Possibly migrated to Morgan County, Illinois with his brother John? More research necessary:

Subj: [KERR] James KERR b. 1770-1780; Elisha CARR b. 1790-1800; John CARR b. 1770-1780 from TN? Date: 5/24/2003 9:15:46 PM Pacific Standard Time From: kmeng@@charter.net To: KERR-L@@rootsweb.com Sent from the Internet (Details)

Does anyone recognize these people who are all near each other on the 1830 U.S. and 1835 Illinois Census? I have one reference that indicates that they might have been born in TN.
