Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 19:47:52 EST From: BUFFUM2@aol.com Subject: Kersey List Marve & List, Just got home from two funerals. My Aunt Rosie Kersey's and a friends son. Thought I'd get my thoughts together and my mind off of the events of the day by answering my e-mail. I was in the middle of wall to wall Kersey's today. Did me good to see all of them again. We seem to never get together except for funerals. I saw Peges letter, and thought I'd let Marve know that he is right, F&AM does stand for Free and Accepted Masons. My husband is a Past Master of his Blue Lodge. If anyone wants to get information about someone and they have the Lodge Number, such as in Pege's case you can write to the Grand Lodge Of Free And Accepted Masons , c/o Grand Lodge Secretery, of the state that the lodge is in. Give them the lodge number, City, and the name of the person that was a Mason in that Lodge. They will send you back the date that he got all of his degrees, and also the date that he joined. They will also give you the name of the Lodge as well as the lodge number. There is a web site on Free Masonery, and it gives all of the Lodges and Grand Lodge addresses. I have it somewhere, but can't find it right now. will look for it and send it. Maybe someone else has it also. Good Luck Pege, Doris

My father (Joe Kersey) suggested I send some of my photos to you. The village of Kersey is about 1 1/2 hours northeast of London. It's small, quaint and very pretty. The photos show the church, the restaurant and the main part of the village. I looked in the cemetery for tombstones with the name Kersey but couldn't find any. Some were too worn to read. I bought some Kersey pottery at the only shop and had lunch at the Kersey Bell, the pub in the photo. I also picked up some information about the village which I forgot to scan with the photos but will do so later. I hope you're able to open the photos and hope you enjoy seeing them. Kersey was difficult to get to but worth the visit. Terry Kersey

While that Benjamin F. Kersey is not my great grandfather, he certainly resembles the picture of my grandfather, and my father. I don't have a picture of my g-grandfather. He almost looks like my uncle Bill with a beard ! The resemblence of this man in the photo to my Kersey's is uncanny. He has the same forehead, same shaped eyes, and large hands, with long fingers, like all of my Kersey's. I will say it again, " we all connect somehow ! " It gave me goose bumps to compare the pictures. I have been at this genealogy thing for a long time, and had written to Joyce Karr a long time ago. I even posted some of it to the Kersey List. Joyce didn't send me a picture though. Probably because she didn't think there was a connection. One of my Kersey's married an Alford. I am going to have to do more research on the Alfords and see just who the George Alford that she married belonged to. They had a child named " Hattie ", born abt 1900. Hattie is listed on the 1900 Census as being the granddaughter of B.F. Kersey Sr. She was living with Ben and Samantha Kersey. Her mother wasn't listed. Can any of you Kersey's help me with this ?

I have been unable to find very much on him other than the fact that he supposedly was born in either Mercer Co. or Dutchess Co., NY. This is from a brief family history written by a Lorenzo Dow Kiersey. According to an inscription in an old Bible he was born Nov. 28, 1798 and died in Bedford, Taylor Co., Iowa, June 17, 1887.

Aliquot Sec/Blk Township Range Fract. Meridian Acres Counties John I. Kersey 1852 1 SWSW 11/ 11-N 8-E N ST STEPHENS 39.7 WILCOX MERIDIAN Jesse H. Kersey 1854 1 NWSW 11/ 11-N 8-E N ST STEPHENS 39.7 WILCOX MERIDIAN John J. Kersey 1854 1 SWSE 10/ 11-N 8-E N ST STEPHENS 0 WILCOX MERIDIAN 2 SWNE 10/ 11-N 8-E N ST STEPHENS 80.055 WILCOX MERIDIAN John J. Kersey 1858 1 NESE 10/ 11-N 8-E N ST STEPHENS 40.03 WILCOX MERIDIAN These are adjoining parcels of land. I'm guessing that John I. and John J. Kersey might be the same person, just transcribed differently when the data was put on the web. Can anyone identify these Kerseys? Marv millerm@halcyon.com http://www.halcyon.com/millerm
