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

http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I147448&tree=Welsh

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.

Hello Sylvia, I know it is many years since you posted this. Just in case you're still checking this site, I am also a 3X great granddaughter of Samuel and Mary (Pickering) Rodgers. I would love to compare notes...

This is so exciting to find. Just discovered the Kerry’s as part of my family tree. The furthest I can go back is Thomas Kerry (the sheriff). I’d read somewhere else that they’re thought to be descended from Elystan Glodrydd of the welsh royal tribe. Is that correct? Any other interesting info about the Kerry’s?

I have been researching my Rogers/Rodgers ancestors in Horsley and Smalley for decades. My 5x great-grandfather was Samuel Rogers (1760-1842), son of Thomas and Mary Kerry Rogers. He was a whitesmith and Smalley parish clerk from 1800 until his death in 1842. His grandson Samuel, a coal miner from Hasland, emigrated to northeastern Pennsylvania with his family in 1862. I have been to Smalley many times to visit Rogers relatives. I would be interested in connecting with anyone connected to the Rogers/Rodgers family of Smalley.
Thank you.
