Documentation for Joseph Kerr/Carr
(1 April 1807 to 12 February 1872)
son of Samuel Kerr/Carr, Sr.
(6 August 1778 to 23 September 1823)

Joseph Kerr was 16 years of age in 1823, the year the probate papers for his father,
Samuel Kerr, Sr., of Franklin Co., OH, were filed.(1) Benjamin Foster, Elijah Chenowith,
and Samuel Dyer were appointed guardians for Joseph and his minor brothers and sisters
in 1824.(2) Two of Joseph's brothers, Orson and Andrew Jackson, and one sister, Nancy,
moved to Fountain and Vermillion Counties in Indiana along with their guardian,
Benjamin Foster in the mid-1820s.(3) Joseph and another brother, Samuel Jr., also moved
to western Indiana about the same time, but they do not appear to have lived in the
Benjamin Foster household.(4)
Joseph Kerr was born 1 April 1807 in Franklin Co., OH.(5) Recorded in Volume 8
of the Franklin County, Ohio, Record of Deeds at the Recorder's Office is a deed between
Joseph Kerr of Vermillion County, Indiana, and John Chenoweth of Franklin County,
Ohio, dated 6 September 1828.(6) This deed was signed in the presence of a William
?Gardener? and James Davison. James Davison was a son-in-law of Elijah Chenoweth, a
guardian of the minor children of Samuel Kerr, Sr. of Franklin County, OH.
Joseph Kerr turned 21 years of age in 1828 and was no longer a minor. Perhaps he
became the owner of land previously owned by his father, Samuel Kerr, Sr. Perhaps
Joseph, deciding to remain in Vermillion County, IN, transferred the property to John
Chenoweth for $150 and severed his ties with Franklin Co., OH.
Joseph Kerr of Vermillion Co., Indiana, purchased 80 acres of land on 1 December
1830 in Vermilion Co., Illinois.(7) This land was in Township 21 North and Range 12
West, Section 24. Vermilion Co., Illinois, was formed in 1826.(8) Joseph Kerr purchased
four additional tracts of land in Vermilion Co., IL, from 1831 to 1839.(9)
Joseph Kerr married Jane Davison on 11 March 1830 in Vermilion Co., Illinois,
where she apparently was living with her family at that time.(10) She was born 25 June
1809 in Franklin Co., OH.(11) She was the daughter of Andrew Davison.
"Andrew Davison came here (i. e., Vermilion Co., Illinois) from Franklin Co., OH,
with his wife and family in 1828 and took up land in section thirteen. There were seven
children in the Davison family, viz.: James, Robert, Sally, Jane, Susan, Betty and Polly.
Two of these were married when they came here, James and Mrs. Joseph Grundy. A short
time after the arrival of the Davison family Joseph Kerr came here. He married one of the
Davison girls."(12)
The Davisons settled in Vermillion Co., Indiana, for a brief period before moving
a short distance to Vermilion Co., Illinois. Andrew Davison of Vermillion Co., Indiana,
acquired his first tract of land in Vermilion Co., Illinois, on 5 November 1830. This land
was in Township 21 North, Range 11 West, Section 7.(13)
James Davison was the brother of Jane Davison, the wife of Joseph Kerr. James
Davison was born 3 June 1805 in Ohio.(14) He married Ruth Chenoweth on 3 April 1828
at Pleasant Township, Franklin Co., OH.(15) Ruth Chenoweth was the daughter of Elijah
Chenoweth (1762 - 1828), a guardian for the minor children of Samuel Kerr, Sr., and his
wife, Rachel Foster (1768 - 1825).(16) The James Davison household appears in the 1830
Vermilion Co., IL, census. James was listed as age 20 thru 29 and his wife, Ruth, was listed
as age 20 thru 29. They had one female child under 5 years of age.(17) James Davison died
on 3 January 1875 in Vermilion Co., IL.(18)
Joseph Kerr and his brother-in-law, James Davison, of Vermilion Co., Illinois,
purchased 80 acres of land on 8 December 1830 in Vermilion Co., IL.(19) This land was in
Township 21 North, Range 11 West. The east side of Range 11 West in Vermilion Co., IL,
is adjacent the Indiana state line.
Samuel Kerr, Jr., brother of Joseph Kerr, was born 13 February 1812.(20) He was
eleven years old in 1823 at the time of his father's death, contrary to the age of nine years
shown on the Samuel Kerr, Sr. probate records.
Samuel Kerr/Carr, Jr., son of Samuel and Nancy Kerr/Carr, Sr. of Franklin
County, Ohio, was 23 years old and no longer a minor in 1835. Samuel Kerr of Fountain
County, Indiana, purchased three tracts of land in the northeast corner of present-day
Champaign Co., Illinois, on 16 September 1835.(21) These three tracts were in Township
22 North, Range 14 West. He later bought two more tracts in this Township and Range.
Samuel Kerr, Jr. died 16 July 1852 in Champaign Co., IL.(22) William Chenoweth
signed a document, part of the probate records of the Samuel Kerr, Jr. estate, in which he
states that "Samuel Kerr late of said county departed this life on or about the 16th day of
July last and that he died intestate as he verily believes and further saith not."(23) The
document was dated 6 August 1852.
Guardians were appointed in 1855 to care for the minor children of Samuel Kerr,
Jr., deceased. The minor children were Russell T. Kerr, John C. Kerr, Elizabeth S. Kerr,
Matilda M. Kerr, Joseph F. Kerr and Rachael Ann Kerr.(24) The guardians appointed
were: Absalom H. Wood, Caleb P. Evertson, Edward Edwardly, and Lindsey Corbly.(25)
John Carr, son of Samuel Kerr, Jr. and Betsy Taylor, was living with the Evertson family
in the 1860 Champaign Co., IL census.(26)
The Biography of Russell T. Kerr, a son of Samuel Kerr, Jr. states: "The paternal
ancestors of Mr. Kerr were originally from Scotland, and a paternal granduncle served as
a soldier in the Revolutionary War until its close and was afterward a member of the
United States Senate."(27)
The above statement appears to refer to Lt. John Kerr of Chambersburg/Kerrtown,
Pennsylvania, during the American Revolution and to General and United States Senator
Joseph Kerr of Ohio, a son of Lt. John Kerr and a brother of Samuel Kerr, Sr.(28) General
and United States Senator Joseph Kerr of Ohio would have been Russell T. Kerr's
grandfather's brother, a granduncle. However, Lt. John Kerr of the American Revolution
would have been Russell T. Kerr's great-grandfather.
Joseph Kerr was called the brother of Samuel Kerr by Samuel's widow in her
request to have Joseph Kerr appointed Administrator of her husband's estate.(29) Land
tracts owned by Samuel Kerr, Jr. were in Township 22 North, Range 14 West, perhaps 10
to 15 miles distant from land owned by his brother, Joseph Kerr.(30)
An O. Kerr, an A. J. Kerr, and an Andrew Kerr purchased several items at the
Samuel Kerr, Jr., estate sale.(31) We assume that O. Kerr was Orson Kerr, brother of
Samuel Kerr, Jr. and Joseph Kerr. Joseph Kerr and Jane Davison Kerr had a son named
Andrew J. Kerr who was born 2 July 1833 and who died 13 July 1919 in Catlin,
Vermilion Co., IL.(32) The A. J. Kerr of the estate sale could have been Andrew Jackson
Kerr, brother of Samuel Kerr, Jr., or he could have been the son of Joseph Kerr. We
assume Joseph Kerr named his one sons Andrew J. Kerr after his brother, Andrew
Jackson Kerr.(33)

Children (Kerr):
i. Andrew J. Kerr, born 2 July 1833, died 13 July 1919, Gundy Cemetery
ii. Samuel H. Kerr, born unknown, died 30 October 1832, Gundy Cemetery
iii. Mary Kerr, born 25 February 1835?, died 23 August 1862, Gundy Cemetery
iv. Mary Elizabeth Kerr, born 5 August 1835, died 14 December 1912, Gundy
Cemetery

ORIGINAL SOURCE MATERIAL to support the RELATIONSHIP between
SAMUEL KERR/CARR, SR. and his son JOSEPH KERR/CARR

1) The 08 October 1823 estate records for Samuel Kerr of Franklin Co., OH, lists
his minor children as Orson (age 18), Joseph (age 16), Nancy (age 14), Clarissa (age 11),
Samuel (age 9), Robert (age 8), Elijah (age 6), and Jackson (age 4). Benjamin Foster,
Elijah Chenowith, and Samuel Dyer were appointed guardians for the minor Kerr
children in 1824.
2) According to DAR RC#722981, Elijah Chenoweth married Rachel Foster,
daughter of John Foster of MD, and died in Franklin Co, OH, on 05 December 1828.
3) The will of Elijah Chenoweth names among his heirs, sons Thomas, Joseph,
John F., youngest son Elijah Chenoweth, and daughter Ruth Davidson. (Franklin Co,
OH will book A, page 196, dated 21 July 1828, probated 7 April 1829)
4) James Davison married Ruth Chenoweth, daughter of Elijah Chenoweth, on 3
April 1828 at Pleasant Township, Franklin Co., OH. (Ohio Marriages, 1789 - 1898, original
image: #1074, 1828, James Davidson to Ruth Chenoweth, April 3d Anno Domini, Samuel
I. Shaw. Also see History of Vermilion County, Illinois by Lottie E. Jones, published in 1911,
Biography of Andrew Davidson, father of James Davison.)
5) Joseph Kerr married Jane Davison on 11 March 1830 in Vermilion Co., IL.
(Illinois Marriages to 1850, Joseph Kerr, Jane Davison, 11 March 1830, Vermilion Co., IL)
6) The Davisons came to Illinois from Franklin Co., Ohio by way of Indiana.(Jack
Moore Williams, History of Vermilion County Illinois, 2 vols., (Topeka - Indianapolis,
Historical Publishing Company, 1930), 1:295) They settled in Vermillion Co., IN, for a
brief period before moving to Vermilion Co., IL.(Bureau of Land Management, 5
November 1830, Andrew Davison of Vermillion County, Indiana, Township 21 North,
Range 11 West, Section 7, East Half Southeast Quarter Vermilion Co., Illinois) Andrew
Davison of Vermillion Co., IN, first bought land in Vermilion Co., IL, on 5 November
1830. This land was in Township 21 North, Range 11 West.(History of Vermilion County,
Illinois by Lottie E. Jones, published in 1911, Biography of Andrew Davidson, father of James
Davison.)
7) The S. A. R. Supplemental Ancestor Certificate of Curtis L. Older, descendant
of John Kerr, approved 4 November 2015 supports the conclusion that Nancy Kerr, Orson
Kerr, and Andrew Jackson Kerr, minor children of Samuel Kerr, Sr. of Franklin Co., OH,
came to the western Indiana counties of Fountain and Vermillion in the 1820s with
Benjamin Foster, a guardian appointed for the Kerr minor children.
8) Joseph Kerr of Vermillion Co., IN, purchased 80 acres of land on 1 December
1830 in Vermilion Co., IL.(Bureau of Land Management, Joseph Kerr, 1 December 1830,
Township 21 North, Range 12 West, West Half of Northeast Quarter, Section 24,
Vermilion Co., IL.)
9) Joseph Kerr and James Davison of Vermilion Co., IL, purchased 80 acres of land
on 8 December 1830 in Vermilion Co., IL.(5) This land was in Township 21 North, Range
11 West.
10) Samuel Kerr of Fountain Co., IN, purchased land in Township 22 North,
Range 14 West, Champaign Co., IL, on 16 September 1835. This land was within 12
miles of land owned by his brother, Joseph Kerr.
11) Joseph Kerr was appointed Administrator for the estate of Samuel Kerr, Jr.
who died 16 July 1852 in Champaign Co., IL.(Samuel Kerr Probate Records, Champaign,
Illinois, 4 October 1852, Case Number 104, widow's request to have Joseph Kerr
appointed administrator. "The undersigned widow of Samuel Kerr Decd, late of
Champaign Co. Ill, hereby resign my right to administrator on the estate of said decd,
and request that Joseph Kerr, the brother of the Decd, may be appointed Administrator
of said estate. Betsy Ann Kerr Aug. 5, 1852")
12) An O. Kerr, an A. J. Kerr, and an Andrew Kerr purchased several items at the
Samuel Kerr, Jr., estate sale. We assume that O. Kerr was Orson Kerr, brother of Samuel
Kerr, Jr. and Joseph Kerr. Joseph Kerr and Jane Davison Kerr had a son named Andrew
J. Kerr who was born 2 July 1833 and who died 13 July 1919. The A. J. Kerr of the estate
sale could have been Andrew Jackson Kerr, brother of Samuel Kerr, Jr., or he could have
been the son of Joseph Kerr. We assume Joseph Kerr named his one son Andrew J. Kerr
after his brother, Andrew Jackson Kerr.
13) Guardians were appointed in 1855 to care for the minor children of Samuel
Kerr, deceased. Those children were Russell T. Kerr, John C. Kerr, Elizabeth S. Kerr,
Matilda M. Kerr, Joseph F. Kerr and Rachael Ann Kerr.(Illinois Wills and Probate
Records, 1772-1999, Samuel Kerr, Probate Date: 4 Oct 1852, Champaign, Illinois, Case
#104, Packets No., 102-149, 1852-1855. Cover Page 1, Order Papers 2-9, Account Papers
10-14, Sales Paper 15-18, Account Papers 19-23)
14) The Biography of Russell T. Kerr states: "The paternal ancestors of Mr. Kerr
were originally from Scotland, and a paternal granduncle served as a soldier in the
Revolutionary War until its close and was afterward a member of the United States
Senate."(Portrait and biographical album of Washington, Clay and Riley Counties, Kansas
(Chicago, Chapman Brothers, 1890), pp. 44-5, Biography of Russell T. Kerr.) The
previous statement refers to Lt. John Kerr of Chambersburg/Kerrtown, Pennsylvania,
during the American Revolution and to General and United States Senator Joseph Kerr
of Ohio, son of Lt. John Kerr and brother of Samuel Kerr, Sr.(George P. Carrel and Marie
Dickore, General Joseph Kerr of Chillicothe, Ohio: "Ohio's lost senator," (Oxford, Ohio: The
Oxford Press, 1941)) General and United States Senator Joseph Kerr of Ohio would have
been Russell T. Kerr's grandfather's brother, a granduncle. However, Lt. John Kerr of the
American Revolution would have been Russell T. Kerr's great-grandfather.

CONCLUSION
The Foster, Chenoweth, and Kerr families were closely related in Franklin Co,
OH. There is substantial evidence that between 1824 and 1830, Benjamin Foster; his
nephews - Thomas and Joseph Chenoweth; and three of his wards -­- Orson Kerr/Carr,
Andrew Jackson Kerr, and Nancy Kerr/Carr; moved to Fountain Co, IN. The strong
connection between the Davison, Chenoweth, and Kerr families is sufficient to conclude
Joseph Kerr, husband of Jane Davison and brother-in-law of James Davison and his wife
Ruth Chenoweth, must be the son of Samuel Kerr, Sr. who died in 1823 in Franklin Co.,
OH.
Joseph Kerr of Vermilion Co., IL, husband of Jane Davison, was a brother of
Samuel Kerr of Champaign Co., IL. The biography of Russell T. Kerr, son of Samuel, gives
adequate proof that Samuel had an ancestor in the American Revolution and a
granduncle who was a United States Senator. The American Revolution ancestor was Lt.
John Kerr of Chambersburg/Kerrtown, PA, and the granduncle was United States
Senator Joseph Kerr of Ohio, the son of Lt. John Kerr.
