Note 9 Dec 2002, from Professor Campbell Pennington of Texas (b. 1918, I think retired from Texas Tech) about William N & Emmaline (Campbell)Kerr. He described himself as a "cultural geographer," by profession, but I believe he taught Historical Geography:
"Faithie Emeline Campbell (1822-1844) Aunt Faithie and Uncle William are tucked away at Shane's Cemetery, as you know. And it was to descendants of their one child, Sarah Ann Emeline KERR STANLEY ATKISSON referred to in connection with recent lunch on an occasion. You should see the photographs of a daughter of Sarah Ann Emeline KERR who married Stanley Atkisson. She was breathtakingly beautiful as a girl and as an older woman. I actually knew her before she died in 1927, in Austin, Tx. I will never forget her because on my 6th birthday, in Texas, she came with a tiddly-winks set, plunked herself down at one end of the piano bench and proceeded to instruct me in the niceties of tiddly winks!"
-----------------------------------------
Regarding the Daughter Sarah Ann Emeline Kerr. Sarah A Emeline Kerr married two men, the first was John Stanley whom she married 10 Dec 1867 in Maury County. He died in 1873 leaving her with 2 young daughters. Yerby died in 1889. There is some mystery as to whether she had 2 children with Yerby and who raised them.
She is living in Texas in 1900 and on the 1900 census she shows having 4 living children but only her daughters are with her. Her daughter Mary Florence married
Texas lawyer and State Senator John William Hornsby.
