The Edward Kern from Rowan County, N.C. I know about is the son of Daniel Kern, Jr. and Eliza Thomas. His sibblings are Obediah,Mary, George W., Daniel, III, Jacob, Susan & Jane L. This Edward Kern was a sergeant in the Civil War (CSA). If this is the person you are seeking please contact me direct (crkern@aol.com) as I have a great deal of information. Perhaps you could also help me. My ancestor was Daniel Kern, Jr.'s brother Richard.

My great grandfather was Frank Kern of Richmond Va and one of his sons was Grover Cleveland Kern (born 1884). Frank Kern was married to a Martha Melton. I don't know names of Grover Cleveland's siblings---only that they lived in Richmond.
