Wilmer,
Very nice to hear from you.As you will recall, I have no connection to the Kerns or Coe families of Frederick County.Information on the families was included by course in "The Coe Families of Maryland and Virginia" (Columbus, OH: 2002).I had not looked at that particular entry for about ten years and assumed that our correspondence of ten to fifteen years ago was the source. I was surprised to see that Clyde W. Kerns of Littleton, CO, was actually the source of information on the family.He indicated that John Edward Kerns was an illegitimate child of Mary Kerns who later married John Kelly Grant.
Following is the complete citation: “Frederick County, VA, Deeds, 63:138, 82:250; 1850 US Census, Frederick County, VA, pp. 207-8, 210; ibid., 1870, 4202, 4204; Frederick County. VA. Wills, 31:125, 34:458, 36:305, 25:303, 490; Allanson to Jeanne Polumsky Coe, in Coe Chronicles, 5 (1989): 14; Triplett and Gore, Frederick County, Virginia, Obituaries (1974), in Coe Chronicles, 5:15; interview with Clyde W. Kerns, Littleton, CO. Nov. 3, 1994; interview with Grace Mallenger, Silver Spring, MD, Jan. 4, 1995.”
I regret that I cannot be more helpful.If the entry on John Edward Kerns needs correction, please let me know. DNA samples from descendants would scientifically settle the matter.We have had some amazing results with the Coe Family DNA Project: http://blog.myspace.com/carlrcoehttp://blog.myspace.com/carlrcoe
