No one has been able to trace our Kerns ancestors back beyond Jacob and Sarah who apparently came to Frederick Co. VA about 1774 from Pennsylvania. Jacob used the German spelling of the name and may have been a German immigrant.
The most learned Kerns' researcher is Wilmer L. Kerns of Arlington, VA who has written two books on the Kerns and allied families in Frederick Co., VA and is in the process of writing another.
I think you and I are cousins. Washington and Elizabeth Kerns are my great grandparents and their son Walter Brown Kerns was my grandmother's brother.
Love to hear from you.

I have had difficulty finding much about her. She married my great great grandfather Emery Stacy. They had a son, Earl Bert on 24 October 1883. I don't think the marriage lasted very long. Emery remarried in 1895. Pearl is buried in North Cemetery, Lansing, Michigan as Pearl Stacy.

I have some AMBROSE data that appears to tie in with the posting for data of a Southern Indiana KERN family. I have found in the Browning Obituary Files website the following entry: Mrs. Ida Mae AMBROSE,of Rt.2,Chandler,IN;died 5/29/1937; Survivors include:husband, George; sons: George and William; brothers: Walter KERN,Indianapolis, and Don KERN, Terre Haute; sisters: Mrs. Maggie Muinger (no town given) and Mrs. Hattie Quigley, Detroit. The Johann Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements. The Oak Hill cemetery was the place of burial.
I certainly hope this will be helpful to the person making the request. I've had the info a long time, but just happened to be going through the AMBROSE message board tonight and saw the posting. May you have good luck and responses in your research in the New Year of 2010.

Hi Leta, I see you're busy on searching for our family members. I work at it whenever I can. I do have more on the Shellhert line also the DeVinney line. Hope I remember what you have. Benewell Kern's wife, Recbecka Shellhert's father was Jacob Peter Shellhert his wife as far as I have found out was Margaret Mantz They had 4 children one of whom was our ancestor, Recbecka Shellhert who had a twin brother named Jacob Jr Shortly after the twins were born their mother died. Jacob remarried to Mary Margaret Redman and they had seven children. From information I received, Jacob Peter's father was Johann Valentin Schellhardt, later Shellhart or Shellhert who arrived at PA from Schwerstedt, Germany in 1792. None of these things are verified but sharing with you what I have. Now for the DeVinney's
Sephrona Ellisaff ( Ella ) DaVinney's father was Henry Lanier DaVinney b.4 Apr 1835 in OH d. Arp 1898 at New Buffalo, MI md Hannah Melvina Berry on 24 Oct 1861 in OH
I think I got this from you, but not sure. Anyhow I need to bring it over to your place so we can visit and share. Are you still at the same place and are you still working ?
Hope your holidays are great. Yvonne

Re: Kern family in Iowa

dlhmda — 2009-11-29 23:39:31Z

Hi Jenny,
Nice to hear from you. After I received your reply, I started searching for your Dorothy and her mother. I believe that I found them in Ft Madison. Peter and Minta are found in the 1920 census in Ft Madison, Lee Co., IA with children Peter, Dorothy and Robert, and with parents Peter and Katherine Kern. Also living with them are Ella & Paul Kern, Peter & Katherine's children.
In 1900, Peter & Katherine are again in Ft Madison, Lee Co., IA. According to the census, they had been married 17 years and Peter had emigrated in 1880. So it does seem coincidental that they are in the same vicinity as my Kerns but if there is a connection, it would be back in Germany.
Hope your research goes well and if you find a German connection, let me know!
Best regards,
Deb

Hi.
My grandmother, Dorothy Kern's mother's name was Ehreminta(sp?) Kern and I think they lived mainly in Fort Madison, Iowa, where my family still resides. She married Roy W. Deitchler, son of Mamie and Clarence Deitchler. I'll have to ask my parents who came before Ehreminta Kern... perhaps it's a part of your ancestry tree!

Re: Kern Family

julielver — 2009-11-20 18:26:56Z

i found this in the history of outagamie county:

FRANK KERN, who owns and operates an excellent farm of 120 acres, located in Greenville township, is one of Outagamie county's successful agriculturists who have made their own way in the world, achieving success through the medium of their own efforts. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, May 5, 1856, Mr. Kern is a son of Andrew and Eva (Phillips) Kern, natives of Germany, where the father was born in 1818 and the mother one year later. They came to Milwaukee in 1843, Mr. Kern working in the city for some years and then locating on a small farm eight miles into the country, but after some years removed to Appleton and subsequently purchased forty acres of land in Center township, on which he resided until his death, in 1902. His wife had passed away there in 1889. They had a family of eleven children, of whom Frank was the ninth in order of birth, and of these seven are now living, as follows: Julia, wife of Charles Becker, a retired farmer of Black Creek; Theresa, the wife of Peter Schmidt, a farmer of Seymour township; Lena, the wife of Charles Karlofer, residing near Seymour; Agnes, the wife of John Stricker, proprietor of bottling works near Seymour; John, a farmer of Mackville, Center township; Andrew, residing at Hilbert a farmer; and Frank. Frank Kern received his education in the schools of Mackville, and until he was twenty-seven years of age he resided with his parents. He then went to Appleton, where for six years he was engaged in work for others, and at the end of that time purchased a farm in Grand Chute township northeast of Appleton, which was his home for thirteen years. Selling this property, Mr. Kern purchased his present farm of 120 acres, where he has since carried on general farming, and has occasionally followed the trade of mason, which he learned in his youth. He has been very successful in his operations, and is proud of the fact that his only assistant during the years of his hard labor has been. his wife. His property is well-cultivated, his buildings bear the appearance of being well looked after, and everything about the land points to the practical, thrifty agriculturist. Mr. Kern is a member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church at Appleton, .and one of his most cherished and highly-prized possessions is a prayer book belonging formerly to his father, which has been in the family since the time of its purchase, in 1705. He is independent in politics, and has never aspired to public office, neither has he been a member of any fraternal association, his whole time and interest being taken up by his farming operations.

On November 17, 1885, Mr. Kern was married to Miss Anna Schmidte, who was born at Apple Creek, Grand Chute township, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, February 23, 1864, a daughter of Emrich and Elizabeth (Flick) Schmidte, the former born June 18, 1829, in Prussia, Germany, and the latter August 15, 1834, in Baden. Mrs. Schmidte came to the United States when sixteen years of age, and resided in Milwaukee until marriage. Mr. Schmidte was about twenty-four years of age when he came to the United States, and he worked in New York for a time, then coming to Milwaukee and securing work as a farm hand on the West property. Coming later to Outagamie county, he located on Apple Creek, where he cleared a property and later exchanged this for a farm near the town, but in his declining years gave up business activities and went to live with his daughter, Mrs. Kern, at whose home he died in 1899, his wife having passed away June 7, 1892. They had a family of seven children, of whom three survive: Katherine, the wife of Andrew Kern, a brother of Frank; Anna, wife of Frank Kern; and John M., residing in Appleton, where he is engaged in contracting. Mr. and Mrs. Kern had five children, namely: George, born December 18, 1886, is single and resides at home; Joseph E., born December 28, 1889, also resides at home and assists his father; Rosie Katherine, born January 11, 1892, married May 9, 1911, Ray Spreeman, a native of Cecil, Shawano county, and they are now living with Mr. and Mrs. Kern; Mary Elizabeth, born April 12, 1895, who died February 19, 1909; and. Henry, born October 22, 1900, who resides at home and is a. student in the public schools.
