Mary Hinton Kerr Collection Professional Genealogical files : Ferebee-Gilmore [microform] by Kerr, Mary Hinton.;
Mary Hinton (Duke) Kerr 1907-1990, was the daughter of William Dabney Duke and Jane Elizabeth Taylor and granddaughter of Charles Elisha Taylor, longtime president of Wake Forest College. Educated at Hollins College and Columbia University, she married John H. Kerr, Jr., Democratic Party leader and member of the North Carolina General Assembly from Warren County from 1929 to 1961. Born and brought up in Richmond, Virginia, Mrs. Kerr moved to Warrenton, North Carolina, upon her marriage. Mrs. Kerr's mother, Mrs. Duke, was active as a Virginia genealogist during the latter half of her life, working principally in the collections of the Virginia Historical Society, the Virginia State Archives, and the Virginia State Library. Following Mrs. Duke's death in 1963, some of her former clients turned to Mrs. Kerr for help in their research. Having helped those she could, she turned her attention, next, to the local clerk of court and began to assist that office in replying to genealogical inquiries. As a result, Mrs. Kerr ultimately undertook genealogical research professionally, and by so doing became intimately acquainted with the genealogical histories of several hundred families in the Warrenton, North Carolina, area.
