Subject: [KERN-L] Abner KERN and Abner LORD connection to Abner Kern LORD - Ohio
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 1998 12:37:42 EDT

I am researching the LORD family, and I believe they must have had close
connections to the KERNs, so I thought I'd post a letter to this list to ask.

The earliest ancestor in the LORD line that I'm sure about is Abner Kern
LORD, born abt. 1822 in OH. His mother may have been Elizabeth and he
probably had a brother named Henry, born abt. 1821, and a sister named Nancy.
Nancy married George HOOD, and she probably died before 1850.

Abner Kern LORD married Susannah TETER MC MULLENs in 1845. They lived in
Scioto Co., OH until sometime between 1850 - 1860, when they moved to IL.
Their children were John, Frank, Albert, Sarah Elizabeth, and Eliza.

I've always thought that there there must be KERNs in the picture somewhere,
so I've been trying to look for connections. Anyway, I was looking at the
censuses today, and I noticed that on the 1820 census in Ross Co. there was an
Abner KERN who lived in Union Twp. very close to Perry LORD, also in Union
Twp.

On the 1810 census, there was an Abner LORD who lived in Washington Co., OH.
He died abt. 1821 and his will was recorded in Franklin Co., OH. It seems
like there may be a connection, between Abner Kern LORD and Abner KERN or
Abner LORD. One possiblity is that Abner Kern LORD's mother, Elizabeth, was a
KERN. Maybe she was the daughter of Abner KERN.

Anyway, I'd like to know if you recognize any of these names, or if you know
of any KERN/LORD connections. Please let me know. Thanks.
