There was a James Ker of Augusta County, who left a will in Orange County, Virginia (the predecessor county of Augusta County) in Will Book 2, 66-7, dated 18 April 1745, proved 22 August 1745. This will mentions brothers DAVID and HUGH KERR; Charles Lewis, son of Col. John Lewis; William, son of William Hutchison; Elinor, wife of George Hutchison, MARGARET SPEAR, MARGARET PICKENS, William Henderson, Gabriel Home and DAVID CRAIG. It was witnessed by Andrew Russell and William Lewis. NOTE: In 1761, Andrew Russell witnessed a deed of John and Lucy Kerr to John Allison. Note, too the PICKENS reference. This James Kerr, COULD be a father of the James Kerr that died in 1770 in Augusta County. With the Pickens, Spear and Craig references, he is undoubtedly related, more research is necessary to prove a relationship.
