This is the one I found on family search Sandra

James Kerr born c 1830 Wigton Scotland sone of James Kerr and Catherine McIntosh

Yes, I saw that - the birth of the first child Jane Andrew 13 December 1862 would roughly fit with the second marriage to Phillip Andrew 15 April 1862 - she died in Calhiun Iowa 1884 but I haven't come across that record - she could have been married of course.

Margaret Andrews married Fred C Struck 24 January 1888

Lewis/Louis Towers Andrews married Mattie Elva Freeman 1 May 1895

Louis Towers "L. T." Andrew - FIND A GRAVE

Burial: Tracy Community Cemetery  Tracy Lyon County Minnesota.

Can follow those families if you wish ?
