Rosanna Gourley was born in Nova Scotia, Canada, the daughter of George Gourley and Rosanna McNeil. She married Israel Thomas Kerr in December 1842 at Gilgal Presbyterian Church in Mahoning Twp. (now E. Mahoning Twp.), Indiana Co., PA. The family moved from Pennsylvania to Iowa about 1855.
Israel and Rosanna were the parents of six children:
1. Samuel Thomas Kerr
2. Jane Ann (Kerr) Almy Bowles
3. George G. Kerr
4. "Taylor" Zachariah Taylor Kerr
5. Theodore Kerr
6. Keturah Lyle (Kerr) Randolph Boyle
Rosanna's grave in Oakland Cemetery is unmarked.
Note: Rosanna's place of birth sometimes appears as "at sea." Stewart's History of Indiana Co. (1913), pp. 769-770 (sketch of William H. Crawford), reports that "George and Rosanna (McNeil) Gourley, came to America from Ireland in 1816, and first located in Nova Scotia." Assuming that 1816 is the year that the family emigrated to Canada, then Rosanna was born in Nova Scotia (in 1819). This is supported by the 1860 and 1870 censuses, where her place of birth is listed as Nova Scotia [cf. the 1850 census shows PA and the 1880 census shows New Brunswick].
