George G. Kerr was born in W. Mahoning Twp., Indiana Co., PA, the son of Israel Thomas Kerr and Rosanna Gourley. He married Inez Imogene Shaw on September 6, 1876 in Scott Co., IA.

George and Inez were the parents of at least eight children:
1. Nellie Rosanna (Kerr) Likes
2. Ida Kerr
3. Keturah Jane (Kerr) Wilson
4. Frank Charles Kerr
5. Estella Maye (Kerr) Orris
6. William George Kerr
7. Thomas Ira Kerr
8. Leona Belle (Kerr) Thomas

Note: What was George's middle initial/middle name? In the 1850 census, he is enumerated as George G. Kerr. When his daughter, Leona, applied for her marriage license in 1916, she gave her father's name as George William Kerr (which was [also?] her brother's name [first/middle names reversed]). Leona was just 6 years old when her father died, so was she correct? George G. Kerr makes more sense, as he was surely named after his maternal grandfather, George Gourley.
