Hello,

Are you still looking for info on this line? Dunlap was my paternal 5th great-grandfather, through his son, Robison.

I too am looking for more info on Dunlap. Where in Ireland was he born? If he was born in Ireland, when and where did he cross/land/enter the US?

Have a little info, but seems to be the same data that all of us who are researching Dunlap has at this point.

Would love to compare info! Happy to correspond with anyone researching this line.

Thanks!!

I have a Jonathan Kearnes (various spellings) b. abt 1852 in Ohio. From the 1880 census, his parents were born in Virginia. Married Eliza Caroline James 30 Jun 1878 in Hiattsville, Bourbon, Kansas. They had 3 children all b. in Kansas: William abt 1870, Anna Louise b. 1881, and Thomas Marion b. 1883. The family was in Pawnee, Bourbon, Kansas on the 1880 census. They moved to Laclede County, Missouri, where I believe Jonathan and William died.

Eliza remarried in 1898 at Laclede County, Missouri, to Robert G. Russell. They were listed in Galena City, Cherokee, Kansas, on the 1900 census. She was listed as having 3 children with 2 living.

I would be greatful for any information on this family.

Ireland in 1846 or there about, according to information sent to the U.S. Department of Interior in 1866 to secure a widows pension, since Patrick was killed in battle during the Civil War in 1864.I have received a copy of their marriage record from Ireland which says they where married on Sept 30th,1847.

Va. has tons of info on the Kearnes family.
I have info back to Edward Embrey[Governor Ned] down to
all his children and their families. Robert Calvin
Embrey married Mary Elizabeth Dempsey. One of their
children was Mary Calvin Embrey who married Powhatan
beverly Kearnes. I have info on all 12 of their kids
and their childrens children to the best extent I can
have. I have not been doing research on this family
lately asI have persued other families. Patricia

Re: keirnes in fauquier county virginia

2004-08-22 02:40:33Z

My paternal grandmother was Geneva's cousin Harriet (her father was John's brother Walter Clarence Keirnes). I'm sure I met Geneva when I was very young, and I remember my grandmother talking about her and her brother Reginald. I've also communicated with Barb - she's a great resource. I also need to get up to Loveland and visit her - I live in the Denver area. Nice to meet another cousin!!

Re: keirnes in fauquier county virginia

2004-08-21 06:07:22Z

I was glad to read your message! My grandmother was Geneva Keirnes (her father was John William Keirnes; son of Charles Henry Keirnes). I had not been able to find much information until I had communicated with Barb Wilkinson. She was very helpful. I had been hoping to make the time to visit Berthoud and Loveland libraies and cemetaries but haven't as yet. Who were your granparents?

Re: keirnes in fauquier county virginia

2004-08-19 19:46:02Z

Charles Henry Keirnes was my great-great-grandfather. He and Richard and their families (and the Templeman sisters parents) migrated from Virginia to Ohio to Missouri and eventually settled in the Berthoud, Colorado area. The historical society in Berthoud has a book that contains information on the families and pictures hanging on the walls of the local museum. I have tons of info on the family, but not much before their generation. Ann married the eldest brother, whose name unfortunately escapes me at the moment. They spent some time in Colorado but eventually settled back in Ohio. Most of the family is buried at the Greenlawn cemetary at Berthoud, where my father and his parents and grandparents are also buried.

I would love to exchange information with you. I have also been talking to others on this board. Barbara Wilkinson has quite a bit of information on this family too. Maybe together we can all put this puzzle together. For starters do you have Jacob Vincent Kearns as Mary's brother? There are two schools of thought on him and I am beginning to think I am wrong about him and he is not Mary's and my Andrew's brother. What are your thoughts? Thanks. Amy

Re: Kearns, Keairns

2003-11-24 21:36:32Z

Sorry for the delay in getting back with you...thanks so much for your reply about Abraham Kearns. We just visited my Uncle Bill in August. I hadn't been back to Lewisburg in over 15 years. My children had never been there, nor had they seen the homestead where my Dad grew up, so it was neat. Uncle Bill told me that someone from the Kearns side had stopped by and was very interested in the letters he had. So Thomas Kearns is your 3rd great grandfather? And Thomas was Alexander's brother, correct? Do you know much more about Alexander and Abraham? If so, would love to hear. My 11 yr. old son is doing some research on his genealogy and wants to know what his ancestors were like... Thanks, Beth

akearns8547 — 2004-04-01 19:58:54Z

Do you know the names of the Templeman women that the Keirnes/Kernes married? Was one of them Ann? Did they move to Ohio. I am researching the same line and we may be able to help each other.

Hi Terry:I have also corresponded with Gary and he insists that Jacob's mother was Catherine Taylor. I have her as Catherine Heflin. Which one do you say is his mother? Also have you seen the many discrepancies in his birth date in the records? Amy

barbwilkinson51 — 2005-02-17 19:27:26Z

I am very interested in the Keirnes family from Fauquier, VA. I have 3 brothers, Charles, William and Richard Keirnes who married 3 Templeman sisters. All from Fauquier county. They have a sister Mary C Wines who lives here is Colorado for a brief time (late 1880's ) then returnes to VA at possibly the same time as another brother James K Keirnes. I believe Mary C to be the wife of Daniel Wines. Her husband is said to related to the wives of her brothers. The Templeman girls parents are William Templeman and Frances Ann Wines. also from Fauquier county. Would love to see if my Mary C is the Mary Catherine daughter of William and Catherine Heflin as I believe. Any help you can give or anything you would like to see, please contact me at bwgumby@msn.com

Amy Kearns, recieved your message. From what I have found there were 3 Templeman sisters Ann, Octavia and Harriet. The three sisters married 3 Keirnes/kearnes brothers. I am researching Charles Henry Keirnes who married Harriet and they did spend time in Ohio. Also trying to research Richard Keirnes and his wife Octavia. I haven't been able to find any information on Ann Templeman. Any information we can share would be appreciated! Thanks

I know it's been a few years but I have found that I have some time to do a little researching again. I remember you had said that you had a ton of information on Charles Henry's family (not before him) I would love to hear more about the information you have. I am also in the Denver area. We are traveling through Virgina this summer and I have a day I can spend there trying to find information.
Hope it's not inconvenient to ask.

I do know that her brother James (Uncle Jimmy) died in Culpeper County at one of his nephews home in Jeffersonton.

I"ve been searching for Abraham and Alexander Kearns and found this post. Alexander is my great, great, great grandfather. He built a home in Lewisburg, WV that has been handed down through the family via the daughters. My father, James Alexander Turner was raised in that home and now my Aunt Monna (Martha Turner McMurray-- died just last year) and Uncle Bill (Col. William McMurray) occupy the home. My Uncle Bill is a treasure trove of historical info.and has personal letters of Alexander and (I believe) his brother. If you receive this and want to reply, please do!
