bullet  General Notes:

GED COM of R. Kerr sent JUne 2006)Unmarried. The eldest son of this most respectable family is the only one for whom a bad record has been found. He was a
mariner and engaged in trade. During his abscence from home he acquired bad habits of living, so that he was imprisoned abroad, and his father had to pay a heavy sum to secure his release. His abuse of his parents made necessary an appeal to the law, and he was sentenced to stand on the gallows for an hour with a rope around his neck; to be severely whipped; committed to the house of correction; kept closely at work on a prison diet; not to be released until so ordered by the Court of Assistants, or the General Court; and to pay a fine of 200 pounds. He was finally released and went to Rhode Island.
(A Porter Pedigree, Juliet Porter, 1907)
