Yes I have a John Edward Kernan, son of John Kernan and Margaret Whalen
from Ireland about 1851.John Edward b 9 Feb 1861, Clinton, Clinton Co., IA

Manning, Carroll Co., IA.I don't know if he was ever in Oregon.I have
5 children for this couple: Francis Lawrence b 1888, William Vincint b 1890,
Hazel Mary b 1898, an infant b 1899 and Dorothy Josephine b 1904. I don't
know all of the descendants of this line, but FRancis Lawrence m Goldie Belle
Post and had two children Inez Joanne b 1906 and Ronald Frances,
b 1913.No places for these people.
As far as I know the only Kernan of this line to come to Oregon was
William Henry b 1853, Syracuse, Onondaga Co., NY, (brother of John Edward)

1883 at Oak Creek, Douglas Co., OR and had just 3 children: John
Jeptha b 28 Jan 1884, Martha Margaret 12 Sep 1885, and William
Henry (Jr) b 22 Nov 1886, all born in Oak Creek.Then on 6 Dec
their father, William shot himself while cleaning his shot gun
and died.I know all of the descendants of these three.
