I response to your query:
"Have you heard of any James Kerrs in Co. Tyrone which m. Martha Knox? I have
two that did. One was b ca l750 and the other c l789 and died 1866. The first
one lived in Strabane and the second I don't know.
The one b in l730 had children James, Isabella, and Mary, but they were
raised by Martha Knox Kerr, their stepmother. The son James would be blood
relation to me, so I wish I could find him.
There is also a James Kerr of Liskey who d 21 OCT 1885. Do you know anything
about these men or their families, i.e. children's names, etc?
Connie Knox Beck"
I have no additional information on Kerrs in Tyrone Co., but I have forwarded
your query to Mary Haycock, whom I was originally responding to, and the
Rootsweb -L Carr surname search message board in case others may be able to
assist you.
I am still looking for my John James Carr (Kerr, b. 1819 Ireland, emigrated
to US in 1837, m. Mary Watson 1850 NYC, d. 1891 N Tonawanda, NY) Tyrone Co.
connection, so I would appreciate any information you can pass on. I will
put you on my search list for similar information also.
Good luck,
John Carr
