- Margaret, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I see that someone on the DAR site did look up your ancestor for you.
As far as the Kerr surname, my great-great-grandmother was Anna Maria Kerr and she married Peter Henry Weiser. I do not know a lot about Anna, but recently found a relative who told me she was born in 1825 in PA to Robert and Mary (Myers) Kerr. Anna was one of 15 children!

CHASTITY said… - I don't know if you are aware but here in Dallas, TX, there just happens to be a successful business family who owns 3-4 funeral homes. The family's name is Beckwith and they own Golden Gate Funeral Homes. They are a black family, and did a wonderful job on my father's funeral! Just thought I'd pass on the info. Maybe you can research them.
