#OTD 2 April
Nerinda Margaret Kerr was born to William Kerr and Mary Williams near Rimersburg, Pennsylvania. My great-great-grandmother excelled at lying about her age, but the early census records reveal the truth. She was born in 1841 or 1842, the youngest of four known children. She married Jacob Crispen and signed a deed of sale by the time she was 16 and had her first child by 17. The marriage was troubled and the couple separated, later divorcing. They had either 3 or 4 children, with 2 having living descendants. Margaret married again either once or twice. Her story may never be fully known.
