Note:

An Archibald Hamilton was administrator of the estate of James Kerr in Augusta County, Va in 1770. John Kerr's land is mentioned.


From Bill Lindsey:
For 1808 suit in Augusta Co., VA, noting that Wm. Kerr and brother Andrew lived side-by-side in Augusta Co. by 1742-3

Rev. John Craig's list of children baptized in Augusta Co., VA, has the following children listed for AK:

KERR, Andrew John Mar 27, 1748 N/A
" Andrew Jennet Aug 24, 1746 N/A

AK is on the list of the first justices of Augusta Co., VA, on 9 Dec. 1745, along with father James and brother-in-law John Pickens (Chalkley).

Aug. 1753: Andrew Kerr wit. deed of brother Wm. to Edward Rutledge, land on Flag Springs in Augusta; other wit. include his niece Jean/Jane's husband John Hind and his brother-in-law John Pickens. See file of Wm. Kerr.

A 1755 delinquent tax list submitted by Sheriff Robt. Breckinridge in Augusta Co., VA, shows both Andrew Carr and Saml. Carr charged twice for delinquency (Chalkley 2, 417). Names on the list (e.g., Brice Russell) suggest that Andrew may have had land in the bounds of what became Botetourt, then Rockbridge, Co., VA.

Per a 17 Nov. 1755 vestry order, lands of Cap. Wm. Christian's company in Augusta Co. and parish were processioned, with Wm. Karr on the list (Vestry Bk. 139; Chalkley 2, 440). John and Andrew Carr were processioned at the same time, evidently in the same company (ibid., 147; Chalkley 2, 440). The procession list suggests the latter lived side by side. Note that another procession list in 1755, by Samuel Given, shows AK living beside James and John.
[I believe that there were 2 Andrews, this one and a son of John (James). MAM]

Augusta Co. ct. judgments for March 1758 show a judgment in suit of Alex. Wright vs. Andrew Kerr (Chalkley 1, 323). (Possibly this Andrew's nephew, as this Andrew may have moved to Rowan Co, NC by this time.)
