Christianna Nisewanger daughter of
Col. John Jacob Neuschwanger and

Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):
ohn Kerr
Died October 2d, 1858, at his residence in Green Township, Gallia County, John Kerr, aged about 86.
Father Kerr was born in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania; came to Ohio and was married to Christianna Nisewanger in 1804, and settled in Gallipolis.
Father Kerr was a man well known in Gallia County. He filled the offices of Magistrate, County Commissioner and Prosecuting Attorney for several years. He was in the War of 1812, as a volunteer. Being one of the first settlers in this county he was well acquainted with frontier life, knew all its hardships, and its innocent and simple enjoyments.
He joined the Presbyterian Church about thirty years ago and lived a member of the same until he was taken from the church militant to the church triumphant. His end was peaceful.
He had his reason to the last, was heard to pray, and when interrogated in regard to his prospects, he replied, "All is well." He leaves an aged widow, five children, and a number of grand children to mourn, but they mourn not as those without hope.
May they all seek the Saviour, live in the service of the Lord, that when done with the labors and trials of this world, they may die as their aged father, in hope of a happy life above.
[The writer of this preached his funeral at Mount Zion, on Sabbath, Oct. 3d, to a large and attentive congregation, from 2d Corinthians, 5th Chapter - F.S. Thurston]
Gallipolis Journal October 18, 1858.
He was buried in October 1858 in Mount Zion Cemetery, Green Twp., Gallia Co., OH, Findagrave #74546654.
