Searching for any information on Susannah KERNS who
married Bond V. Brown in August 1791, probably in Caswell
County, NC. They had 4 children together (names unknown to
me), the youngest being a nursing child, when she left in 1800
and ran off with another man, Joshua Pyron, leaving for the
State of Tennessee. Joshua Pyron and Susanna (Kerns) Brown
later had at least one child together, named William Riley
Pyron, who is my ancestor.

Were there other Kerns family members living in the
Caswell/Orange Co., NC area? Would love to know who
Susannah's parents & siblings were, etc. Also the names of her
children by Bond V. Brown and whether he remarried again after
she deserted him.
