Hello. I'm researching the above surnames, all Allen and Auglaize Counties,
some at times even in Indiana.

George Leroy Kerr was b. 7 Jan 1869 Clinton Co., lived 60 years in Lima, obit
dated 20 Aug 1951. He married Minta Maybelle (in census as Mattie, Mimi,
etc.) Fess. She was b 25 Jul 1872 West Newton. She died fairly young.
George/Minta in 1900 and 1910 Allen Co censuses. Kids: Cloy Cletus, Lela/Lilah Marie,
Laurel Leroy, Charles Simons, Dellace/Dallas Dorman.

Cloy marr Marie Binkley sometime around 1929-1930, unsure where. She died
young; obit dated 7 Mar 1935 Lima News says she was 28. Mentions sister Mrs. R.
(Rosa/Rosie) Whetstone (husband Marvin), brothers James, Ben, Amos,
Elza/Elzie (man), Carl, mother Mary Binkley of Spencerville. Kids: Wendell Eugene,
Gerald, Norma, Eleanor (marr. Wm Woolfe), Melvina (marr David Shafer). Have
Helen marr Frank Holton, too.

I sure would like to hear from any descendants of the above lines. I'd like
to hear what lines you descend through and maybe exchange family into, extend
our lines back further.

Hope to hear from you. Thank you in advance for your time and any help you
can give.
