  Research Notes:

Burnell Nisbett of St Kitts writes in 2016
A few years ago I was speaking to a client of mine from Tabernacle, and he told me that his great grandfather told him that all Keries on island are decedents of two white men who were spreading their Wild oats all over the area. I figure they had to be William and his younger brother Jedidiah Kerie born 1790. They were both sons of the Hon Jedidiah Kerie, There was a third brother Rev John Kerie 1785 -1847. This information I got from the Kings Candlesticks Pedigree. Only in a few cases from oral history could any children be assigned to these Men but with no verification. For example oral history tells that my mother's cousin Jedidiah Kerie Bowry was named after his grandfather or great grandfather Jedidiah Kerie, so I deduce that my ancestor is Jedidiah and not William. This I have been unable to verify.

Kim Squirrell writes in 2019 researching a line from Jedediah Jnr in a marriage to Wright having issue Samuel Wright Kerie, and William Kerie who married Susanna Christopher who had issue Adam Christopher b 1807 St Kitts & Nevis m Mary James, and Catherine Christopher b 28 Mar 1859 m Edwin Thompson. These dates are incongruent and the researcher of this site cannot place these persons.
