| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTES: David and Elizabeth Sease Kersh moved from South Carolina to Alabama some time before 1825 and settled in Bibb County. Several of Andrew Kersh's sons went by wagon train to Mississippi and settled there, but David was not among them. It is thought that he came to Alabama because several of Elizabeth's relatives (a maternal uncle, George Riser II, and an aunt, Barbara Riser, who married John Lightsey in Alabama) had moved there earlier. David was of German descent, possibly the grandson of Hans Georg Kersh, who immigrated from Germany to South Carolina about 1742. Elizabeth Sease (Suss) also was of German descent; her parents came from Germany to South Carolina before 1756. David received federal land patents in Bibb County in 1835 and in 1858. His farm was in the Sandy Creek area. In 1842, he was a member of a committee named to build a Methodist church on Sandy Creek. In 1853, he was one of the trustees for a school, Sandy Creek Academy, to be organized in Sandy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOURCES: A number of Kersh researchers, including Norb Urhmann, Kathryn Kersh Nicholson, Jackie Kersh, Robert Kersh, and David Kersh. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
