General Notes: Husband - Aaron H. Kerr


He was a member of the Presbyterian Church from early manhood, and had been elected four times as ruling elder, first time in the Hackettstown, Maryland, Church, when just twenty-one years of age. After marriage he and his wife settled on Pigeon creek, in Washington County, Pennsylvania, afterward moving to Washington borough, where he was engaged in mercantile business; he was also a ruling elder in the church there. In 1831 he moved to Monongahela City, and there carried on commercial business until 1845, when he moved to Cross Creek village, still engaging in mercantile pursuits. In politics he was a Whig, and from 1824 to 1828 was a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature. He served as a member of the constitutional convention in 1836, and was again chosen to the Assembly in 1840.
