Daniel Kerr was the son of Robert Kerr and Elizabeth Bailey. His parents had moved to Pennsylvania after leaving Northern Ireland. It is believed that Daniel was born in Pennsylvania in about 1764 and moved to Augusta Co., Virginia where his parents and some siblings, lived out their years. He married his first wife there and raised some children. From there he moved and finally settled in Deer Creek, in then Pocahontas Co., Virginia, now in West Virginia.
He was first married to Mary "Polly" Kirkpatrick (1764 to 1810), the daughter of John Kirkpatrick, on 1 Jul 1790 in Staunton, Virginia, by Rev. Arch. Scott.
They had known Kerr children, some in Staunton and some in Deer Creek:
