Derbyshire / Re: Kerrys from Smalley
« on: Wednesday 18 July 12 23:15 BST (UK) »
Regarding the Rev Kerrys ref to "The first Kerry being an officer from Wales" i too wondered about the Thomas Kerry high sherif of Montgomeryshire however i have traced the line and it stays in shropshire well into the 1720's by which time the Kerrys where well established in Smalley/West Hallam etc.
I belive it refers to Thomas Kerry Clark to the Privy seal to Queen Elizabeth & James 1. He was from the Binweston lines that takes on the Royal tribes of Wales

How did he get to smalley? well using the continuation of names..Thomas & John and Thomas Clark to the Privy seal had dealings with Sacheverell Lord Shrewsbury and bought land of him in order for the Lord to pay debts.It doesnt say where this land was but as the Sacheverell were a norman family from Morley/Smalley...
And the Binweston Thomas Kerry line just disappers from the Shropshire Family Records so they must have moved as no death records existed. Still working on a firm connection but will post when i do confirm.
