I am still trying to contact you regarding the note you sent about having a copy of the Executive Order that created the Great Roundup of 1902. The High Plains Western Heritage Center in South Dakota is also interested in this information as the "lore" around what caused the "roundup" has never been proven in their minds. Not sure if you have been to one of their recreations of the event.
Old Redstone is a book by Joseph Smith DD, Philadelphia, Lippincott, Grambo & Co. 1854.

Most of my info. comes from work my uncle Horace Lowers did in the 1980's. Some of it is personal correspondence within the family, but he also cites some other sources. On the personal side, he states that James Kerr was a cutler on the Mingo Creek side of Pidgeon Creek. He first appears in the Presbyterian roles in 1808. He represented Washington Co. in the state legislature 10 terms at various times between 1801 and 1817. He is one of the original members of the Board of Trustees of Jefferson College, Canonsburg. He was named in its 1802 Charter and served until his death on Sept. 7, 1834. His brother John also married one of Rev. Powers daughters. He is mentioned on pg. 344 of Old Redstone.
