Dawson Kerrs of Canada

Hello,Back in May I unexpectedly found out that I had Kerr cousins all over Canada(and Henderson cousins).We had only known that our great-grandfather and his father were born in North Gore, Quebec Province, Canada....Soon after, I received a document on the "Descendants of Patrick Kerr"(my ancestor).He was one of four siblings who left Ireland and migrated to Canada in .. 1825(based on birthplaces of children).Three of the siblings were married w/children, and one married after arriving in Canada.....I was just reviewing this Kerr document, and discovered that one of the members of this Kerr extended family was named ... Dawson Kerr.
This Dawson Kerr was a grandson of Patrick Kerr and was born in 1844 in Argenteuil County, Quebec Province.He was the son of William and Elizabeth (Beattie) Kerr.
This document also mentions a Dawson Kerr, born in 1877, who was the son of Dawson and Mary Ann (Morrison) Kerr.(Above Dawson.)
It also mentions a Dawson Kerr, born in 1886, who was the son of Robert and Mary (Linley) Kerr.(I think Robert was a son of Patrick's brother, John Kerr.)
As far as I can determine, the four siblings, Mary Kerr, Patrick Kerr, Elizabeth Kerr, and John Kerr, and their families, all settled in Lakefield or LaChute or nearby townships in Argenteuil County, Quebec Province.
(Some documents refer to "North Gore" which is part of Lakefield.It is not the "North Gower" which is in nearby Ontario.)
