Note:  Susie Edna KERSCHNER reported that two of Daniel Jefferson's brothers died in the mines. Since Uncle Will was still living, it had to be Henry and Joseph. Lucinda never had any children and she was Susie's favorite aunt. She came and took care of the kids after Susie's mother died.

New information from the descendant of Joseph Edward KERSCHNER, (JFK, III) reveals that handed down was a story that Joseph Edward KERSCHNER died as a result of a giant rock falling on him in a mine.  He was paralyzed and subsequently died.
