I have researched this Kerchner line even though I am not a descendant of this Kerchner family because this family group spelled the surname exactly the same as my immigrant family group. This family settled in York County, Pennsylvania. I have attempted to find if there was any connection between the two families. But, there was no interactions between these two families, in legal records or in church records, to my knowledge. I have not been able to establish any link between this early settler, Jacob Kerchner, Sr., of York Co PA, with the 1851 immigrant, Henry Kerchner, of York County PA, and my 1741 immigrant ancestor, Adam Kerchner, of Lehigh and Berks Co PA.

Note: Some dates and locations shown are estimates. The below chart was generated using a computer program. Sometimes the data is prefixed by "about" or "circa" or "near" or "probably", etc. Therefore, do not quote dates off this report as precise unless it is stated precisely without a qualifier and you have independently verified it. If you use data or information from this site, please give proper credit to my research.
