JOSEPH KERR



   Joseph Kerr applied for revolutionary pension while living in White County,

Tenn., in 1832, when he was 73 years old and therefore born in 1769. He was a

cripple exempt from military duty. Nevertheless he volunteered as a spy in the

service of General Joseph McDowell and was detailed to watch operations of

British at Blackstocks. He was also commissioned to spy upon Major Patrick

Ferguson near King's Mountain. Captain Barnett sent him to the camp of the

British under General Floyd and Captain Huck.



Note:- It is possible that James and Joseph Kerr were brothers as their service

was similar and under the same officers.
