My Kearns/Keairns lines are: Abraham, Thomas, John, James, Minnie,
Abraham died Greenbrier County, WV, in 1828. Thomas was born abt. 1790 in Greenbrier and died in Ohio 1875.
The line that stayed in WV used the Kearns spelling. Those that went to Ohio used the Keairns spelling.
John died Ohio, James died Ohio, Minnie died CO.
Would be happy to share information.
