Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 1810, Pughtown, Frederick Co, Virginia
• Will: 7 Feb 1844, Frederick Co, Virginia

Notes:

When a young man, John purchased a large tract of land lying between White Post and the Shenandoah River, on which, in 1809, he built a fine, large brick house. So successful was he in business that he named his home "Providence", and at the homestead he rasied 12 children - 6 boys and 6 girls.

All of his sons settled around him, one being a practicing physician, and the others successful farmers and useful citizens. All were members of the Bethel Baptist Church, and previous to the Civil War were old line Whigs. John later moved to "Montmoreny". Montmorency, the old Kerfoot home, is located near the road leading from Delaplane to Upperville. Part of the large brick mansion was built in the early 1820's. John Kerfoot of Frederick County, Virginia, purchased the estate on May 28, 1822, from Charles L. Carter and his wife, of Ridgeville, Fauquier County. Most of the land in this 640-acre (one square mile) farm lies east of Gap Run, which is considered to be the dividing line between the inherited properties of John Carter of Sudley, and Landon Carter of Pittsylvania, Prince William County.

Montmorency was inherited by Daniel F. Kerfoot, a son of John Kerfoot. He married Maria Carr, a daughter of Joseph Carr. The farm was willed to Daniel's son, William, and to his daughters.

page 51, "David Allen, John Kerfoot, and Charles McCormick supported the party of John Quincy Adams, while John Richardson, Juseph Tuley, Jr, , Josiah W. Ware, and most of the Castlemans and Mccormicks adhered to the Jackson party."

Catherine Sowers


Died:
Mrs Buck recorded the following information about Catherine Sowers: " In a letter dated Jan. 1969, from Robert W. Robins addressed to my late gr eat-uncle Hunter B. McKay, he wrote: 'My wife and I happened upon the tomb stone of her ancestor Catherine Sowers who died in January of 1839. The gr ave of Catherine Sowers is near that of her brother-in-law, Jacob Sowers J r, and I presume that her husband, Daniel, is buried beside her -- though no stone is in evidence.' My family and I visited Mt. Hebron Cemetery of Winchester Va in 1989, but could not find her stone. There are many old weather-beaten stones in evidence, and do [sic] to the fact that the office did not have a listing of these old burial stones, I guess we will never know who are buried around the cite [sic] of the German Reformed Church."32 She also includes a transcription of Catherine's will on 'Tabulated Genealogy', pp 18-19; Daniel I left no will, according to Mrs Buck's research, but she did find an inventory and valuation in the Frederick Co records. I will verify this in the Frederick Co will books on my next research trip.

While doing research in Frederick Co in the autumn of 2001, I re corded that Catherine Sowers "departed this life 29 January 1839 in the 86 th year of her life, according to her tombstone". Unfortunately I fail ed to record the source of this tombstone transcription, so this information remains unverified until a later trip to Frederick Co. Our family tradition suggests that Catherine's maiden name may have been Jenkins.
