Eliza Wyrick Kerr

John Wyrick married Margaret Monroe 7 August 1810 in Grainger Tennessee.
They were the parents of Othniel and grandparents of Eliza.


In the 1840 census Othniel was living in Grainger Tennessee and he had 2 son's Lafayett and John under the
age of 5, Delila under who was under the age of 5, and Margaret who was 10 at the time.

Eliza Minerva Wyrick was born in August of 1842 the first time I found her was in the 1850 Census she was
7 years old.

In the following census I found Othanile still living in Miller County, Missouri, he was 56 and Hannah was not
listed with the family so she must have passed away between that time period. But looking in Miller County, I
did not find her grave.

But I did find several other Wyrick buried there. But I did not fine Othenile or Hannah grave.
