Kerns from Ohio-Virginia-Pennsylvania-Germany
Frederick Kerns 7/23/02
My family is from Ross County, Ohio (Kingston/Hallsville area, north of Chillicothe)--Not far from Gallia County. We go back more than six generations there to John Kerns and his father Henry Kerns b. about 1784, believed to be from Frederick County MD or Frederick county Va. I'm thinking his father would have been born in that area right about 1760-ish and his grandfather probaby born around 1740 ish.George, Frederick, Henry, John and Benjamin all seem to be very common names, passed down from generation to generation in this family. I'm trying to locate my Henry's father, who may have been awarded a land grant in the Ross County area right around 1800. Just wondering if you ancestor may be in same line. Thanks for any help.
