Research Notes

Primary sources concerning William and his immediate family are scarce. His great-great-grandson, W. Worley Kerlin, put it succinctly when his stated that "actual dates are scarce for this portion of the family record."[1] W. Worley Kerlin's family history is primarily anecdotal; the only "citation" is an acknowledgement that the research concerning the progenitor of the family, John Kerlin, was carried out by a Diana Reynard. George Kirlin, relationship unknown, has left a critical review on the WorldCat webpage[2] of W. Worsley Kerlin's family history, which is reproduced in its entirety below.

Be warned. When Worley picks up from William Kendrick Kerlin and his descendants the data is mostly correct. Lots of interesting stories. However, the ancestor line of William Kerlin and earlier is incorrect. Wm. Kerlin was the son of John Kerlin, but John Kerlin was from Chester County PA and his father was Joseph Kerlin, elder son of Peter Kerlin (1692-1762). Peter Kerlin was the son of Peter Keurlis and Elizabeth Doors who arrived from lower Rhineland, October 6, 1683 on the Concord.
George Kirlin

A second set of sources commonly cited concerning this family are set of three Daughter of the American Revolution applications.[3][4][5] The first being Martha Melinda Kerlin Alexander[3] (Membership # 20923), the second being her great-grandniece, Betty June Kerlin Durbin[4] (Membership # 600286), and the third being a second great-grandniece, Alice Jean Pugh Nelson[5] (Membership # 470898). All three applications are based upon John Kerlin's (Ancestor # 065117) service during the revolutionary war.[6]

Martha Melinda Kerlin Alexander's application[3] is dated 17th of October, 1897. It is based upon her great-grandfather's service in the revolutionary war.[6] The only source cited by her application is from the Pennsylvania Archives establishing that John Kerlin was in fact a veteran of the revolution.[7] The majority of Martha's application is written in a single hand. However, additions have been made in a second hand and maybe additional hands. It is not clear whether these additions were made prior to or after Martha submitted her application.

Betty June Kerlin Durbin's application[4] is dated 8th of November, 1973. It is based upon her great4-grandfather's service in the revolutionary war.[6] For sources, Betty's application lists her great-grandaunt's (Martha Melinada Kerlin Alexander) application, William Worley Kerlin's family history,[1] cemetery records of Darke County, Ohio[8] two written histories of Darke County, Ohio,[9][10] cemetery records of Wayne County, Indiana,[11] a written history of Wayne County, Ohio, [12] and the U. S. census of 1830 for Washington County, Tennessee.[13] Betty's application is type written. The six sources cited by references [8] thru [13] are handwritten additions to this application. In addition to these sources, Betty's application cites the same source[7] as her great-grandaunt to establish that her great4-grandfather was in fact a veteran of the Revolutionary War. This portion of the application, which is typewritten, has three lines drawn thru it, top to bottom. Below this is a handwritten note stating "Not the service of this man." In place of this paragraph the following handwritten note has been added "Chichester, Chester Co 1782 under the command of James Huston." In addition to this, below the typewritten citation to Ref.[7], there is a different handwritten citation to the Pennsylvania Archives[14] In addition to her application, Betty also submitted a copy of W. Worley Kerlin family history and the death records for Hannah Jefferis Kerlin and Wm. K. Kerlin. A hand written note has been added to W. Worley Kerlin's family history noting that the description of John Kerlin's service in the Revolutionary War is not correct.

Alice Jean Pugh Nelson's application[5] is dated 6th of August, 1977. It is based upon her great4-grandfather's service in the revolutionary war.[6] For sources, April's application cites her great-grandaunt's (Martha Melinda Kerlin Alexander) and her first cousin's (Betty June Kerlin Durbin) applications,[3][4] as well as, W. Worley Kerlin's family history.[1] In addition to these sources, April's application cites the same source[7] as both her great-grandaunt and first cousin, to establish that her great4-grandfather was in fact a veteran of the Revolutionary War. With her application, April also includes the death record of her grandfather, Wm. L. Kerlin, her mother's (Ruth Kerlin Pugh) birth certificate, and her parent's application for a marriage license.

The four sources discussed above yield a single primary source,[13] the 1830 U. S. census for Washington County, Tennessee, for the subject of this profile, William Kerlin. This record indicates that William was born between 1781 and 1790 and that his wife was born between 1791 and 1800. They have six children living at home, three boys and three girls. The eldest son was born between 1801 and 1810, the middle son was born between 1816 and 1820, and the youngest son was born between 1826 and 1830. The eldest of the three girls was born between1811 and 1815, the middle girl was born between 1816 and 1820, and the youngest of the daughters was born between 1821 and 1825. The record indicate that there were no Black folk, free or enslaved, in William's household.

W. Worley Kerlin's family history[1] gives names to William's wife and children. His wife, Sarrah Iles, is reported to have lived to the age of 45 years. This combined with the information concerning her birth date gleamed from the 1830 U. S. census[13] tells us that she died between 1836 and 1845. The family history[1] also informs us the William and Sarrah had 14 or 15 children, with records existing for ten of the children (These record are not provided). The names of these children, with the details given, are reproduced below:

1. Elijah, b. 1809, d. 1901, m. Melinda Sands.
The existence of Elijah Iles Kerlin is well documented.[15] Elijah's death certificate[16] gives his birth date, his death date, and his parents names and his marriage to Milly Melinda Sands is recorded in the Greene County (Tennessee) marriage registery.[17]
2. John, stayed in Tennessee.
A search on Ancestry and FamilySearch for a John Kerlin born in Tennessee and residing in Tennessee did not yield any individuals. A search for Ancestry family trees containing a John Kerlin who was born in Tennessee to William Kerlin and Sarah Iles yields 47 trees. These trees uniformly inform us that John was born on the 20 of September 1823. Many also add that he was born in Wayne County, Tennessee and that he died in 1854. The first, that is, that he was born in Wayne County, Tennessee is unlikely as it is established that during this period of time his family lived in Washington county.
3. Hannah, single.
A search on Ancestry and FamilySearch for a Hanna Kerlin born in Tennessee and residing in either Tennessee or Indiana did not yield any individuals. A search for Ancestry family trees containing a Hannah Kerlin who was born in Tennessee to William Kerlin and Sarah Iles yields 50 trees. These trees uniformly inform us that Hannah was born either on the 2 of September 1813 or in 1813. In addition, it is often reported that her birth occurred in Wayne County, Tennessee and that she died in 1816. As in the case above (John Kerlin), it is established that the Kerlin family lived in Washington county during this period. There also exist a handful of family trees with Hannah surviving to adulthood and marrying a Charles Willetts. This is an error. The Hannah E. Kerlin who married Charles Willetts was the daughter of William Kirlin of Milton, Washington Township, Wayne County, Indiana who immigrated to Indiana from Virginia in the early 1830's.
4. Polly, single.
A search on Ancestry and FamilySearch for a Polly Kerlin born in Tennessee and residing in either Tennessee or Indiana did not yield any individuals. A search for Ancestry family trees containing a Polly Kerlin who was born in Tennessee to William Kerlin and Sarah Iles yields 24 trees. These trees uniformly inform us that Polly Ann was born on the 16 of September 1815 and died in 1816. In addition, it is often reported that her birth/death occurred in Wayne County, Tennessee. As in the two cases above (John Kerlin and Hannah Kerlin), it is established that the Kerlin family lived in Washington county during this period.
5. David, moved to Indiana.
A search on Ancestry and FamilySearch for a David Kerlin born in Tennessee and residing in Indiana did not yield any individuals. In a search of the federal census records for Indiana, a David Kerlin is discovered in Henry County.[18] He is the son of Ephram and Mary Kerlin, the progenitors of the Henry County Kerlins. His family emigrated from Virginia to Indiana in 1833-34. This is not the David Kerlin for whom we are searching. A search of Ancestry family trees which include David Kerlin yields 21 trees. One of these informs that he was born 1825 in Wayne County, Tennessee, and another informs that he was born 20 of September 1823 and died 1854. This last one duplicates the data given for John Kerlin above.
6. Jane (Parker), move to Iowa.
The existence of Jane Kerlin Barker is well documented.[19] Her marriage is recorded in Wayne County, Indiana.[20] And her path thru life as she moved from Wayne County, Indiana to Morgan County, Indiana and then to Boone county, Indiana, and ultimately to Vernon Springs Township in Howard County, Iowa is documented in the U. S. census records from 1840 thru 1870.[21][22][23][24] The evidence that Jane is the daughter of William Kerlin and Sarah Jane Iles is circumstantial. Jane's second son, Elijah Isles Barker, appear to be named after her older brother, Elijah Iles Kerlin and her fourth son, William Kendrick Barker, is named after her eldest brother's son, William Kendrick Kerlin.
7. Elizabeth, moved to Grant County, Indiana.
The existence of Elizabeth Kerlin is well documented.[25] Elizabeth's path through life can be trace via U. S. census records. the 1860,[26] 1870[27] and 1880[28] U. S. censuses inform us that she lived with her sister, Martha A. (Kerlin) Stallings and her sister's family at various locations in Jackson Township, Wayne County, Indiana. Her path after her sister's death is less clear. When she dies in 1898 she is living is Grant County with her nephew, John Stallens. Evidence that Elizabeth is the daughter of William Kerlin and Sarah Jane Iles is found in several newspaper articles. On the 13th of December 1888, W. H. Schrawder, Elizabeth's nephew, sued Elijah Kerlin, Elizabeth's brother, for support of his sister to the tune of $2000.[29] Later that afternoon the suit is settled with a payment of $200 by Elijah.[30] Subsequently, in early March, 1890, the character of Elijah, Betsey's brother, was attacked publicly in a column entitled "Talking Plainly" in the local newspapers. He is accused of letting his brother, Joseph B. Kerlin, and sister, Elizabeth Kerlin, suffer the indignity of have to resort to accepting charity from the local government.[31][32]
8. Joseph, moved to Grant County, Indiana.
The existence of Joseph B. Kerlin is well documented.[33] The first record we have of Joseph is his 1850 marriage Mary Small, a Quaker, which is recorded in Grant County, Indiana.[34] As a consequence, his life is not only documented in the records of the U. S. census,[35][36][37][38] but it is also documented in the records of the Religious Society of Friends.[39][40] Neither of these sets of records establish William Kerlin and Sarah Jane Iles as the parents of Joseph B. There are two sets of evidence that help establish the parental relationship. First, a series of newspaper columns appeared attacking that character of Elijah Kerlin for His failure to come to the aid of his brother, Joseph Kerlin and his sister, Betsey (Elizabeth) Kerlin.[31][32] In addition to this, Joseph's application for his third(?) marriage license lists his father's name and his mother's maiden name, thereby, establishing William's parentage.
9. William, moved Cambridge, Indiana.
The existence of William P. Kerlin is well documented.[41] In addition the the records of the U. S. censuses, William's life is documented by his marriage and draft registrations. He had emigrated to Wayne County, Indiana by 1850 when he is found to be living with a family of Browns.[42] His marriage to Amanda H. Graham is recorded in Preble County, Ohio.[43] Following her death, he married his second wife, Sarah Ann Baker, in Wayne County, Indiana.[44] Subsequently, he settled in Cambridge City, Wayne County, Indiana.[45] His draft registration[46] is most interesting when compared with that of his brother, Franklin. Their answers to the questions are identical with the exception of their names and their former military service (He did not serve in the war while his brother did). They both lived in Jackson Township, Wayne County, Indiana, they both were born in Tennessee, they both were of the age 36 years and both list their trade as pump makers. This strongly suggests they were twins. He died prior to the 1870 U. S. census were his wife is listed as a widow.[47] William's connection to his parents is circumstantial. William's mother-in-law by his first marriage, Rachel (Sands) Graham, is the twin sister of William's eldest brother's wife (Millie Melinda (Sands) Kerlin.
10. Francis, moved to Cambridge, Indiana.
While the existence of Francis "Franklin" A. Kerlin is documented, the documentation is not as strong as for many of his siblings.[48] Franklin does not appear in any U. S. census! What is available is his marriage and draft registrations. Franklin's marriage to Sarah Ann Pritchard is registered in Wayne County, Indiana in 1857.[49] His draft registration[50] is most interesting when compared with that of his brother, William. Their answers to the questions are identical with the exception of their names and their former military service (he served in the war while his brother did not). They both lived in Jackson Township, Wayne County, Indiana, they both were born in Tennessee, they both were of the age 36 and both list their trade as pump makers. This strongly suggests that they were not only brothers but were twins also.

Of the ten names provided by W. Worley Kerlin, six are readily verified. Of the four remaining, the two girls may not have survived to adulthood.
