There is no record of Jonas's burial in Jerusalem Western Salisbury Cemetery, but his wife, Amanda, and his older son, Jonas Henry Kern, are both buried here.
Jonas's first wife, Catharina Knerr, born 1808, was possibly seven years older than Jonas and came from a wealthy family according to things I have read. Their first child, Sarah Anna Helena, was born in 1846 and died in 1862. The second, Jonas Henry Kern, was born in 1847. Catharina died in 1869 after suffering a stroke and being paralyzed for 7 years. I often wonder if the early death of her daughter brought on her stroke.
Jonas was not mentioned in Henrich's will. Could he have been disinherited for marrying an older, wealthier woman. There are no records found yet to back up my theory. I'm waiting to see if there is ever a DNA connection from me to this Kern family.
