Or, Subtitled: “While engaged in pastoral work he was stricken with fever and died, and his grave is with us until this day”
As my previous posting about Mary Calhoun (abt. 1743-1805), daughter of Ezekiel Calhoun and Jane/Jean Ewing, notes, Mary and husband Samuel Kerr had the following children, whom Mary names in her 21 January 1805 will in Abbeville County, South Carolina: John Kerr, Jane Kerr Green, Catherine Kerr McLain, and Ruth Kerr.[1] In my last posting, I told you what I know about Mary and Samuel’s first-born child, their son John, who was born about 1766. In previous postings, I’ve shared abundant information about Mary and Samuel’s second child, their daughter Jane, who married John Green, who was born 8 October 1768. In what follows, I’ll focus on Mary and Samuel’s last two children, their daughters Catherine and Ruth.
