Denalee,
I saw a post that you made on GenForum regarding the Kerr family in Abbeville, SC. I, too, have folks from that area.I am trying to determine who David Kerr married....Susannah Young or Susannah Giles...
In "Abbeville Districts, SC Marriages 1777-1852" there is a listing of
Susannah Giles m. David Carr 1835.I have found the dates to unreliable
in this source, so the marriage date could be wrong.
In "The History of Lowndesville, SC" in the family sketch for the
Youngs, it states that Susannah Young (dau. of Francis and Jane Young)
married David Kerr.
There is a mention of Susannah and David Carr in the estate records of
Mary (Young) Giles, who died in 1835.Mary was the dau. of Francis
Young.
I am trying to determine if Susannah was related to Mary's husband,
William Giles....or if Susannah was truely the sister of Mary, making
her a Young by birth.
Do you have any clues for me?I sure would appreciate any tidbit you
may have on this couple!BTW, I am related to the Giles, Edwards,
Freeman, Taylor and Scott families of that area.
Thanks for anything you can share!
Nancy
