William Mitchell Kerr, born 24th Dec 1789, died 13th May 1862, lived in Kerfield House with his wife around 1845, later moving to Terlings Park, Hertfordshire, England. He was the son of Sarah Newton Jarrett and David Kerr, nephew of John Jarrett, born 1746, died 1809, and Herbert Newton Jarrett III and brother-in-law of John Baillie. In 1806 he was placed by his other uncle Herbert Newton Jarrett III at Orange Valley to learn the planter's business. Acted for the Langlands family of Bogardo, owners of Roseberry coffee estate in St Elizabeth, Jamaica. Retired to Britain in 1836 when aged 46; married Eleanor Aynsworth of an Irish family in 1837. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
