There is also a picture of a different clock there. Francois was also a silversmith and his registered silversmith mark is on Family Search. The picture you have listed as Mary Kerby Parker and family, is actually a picture of my great grandparents Edward Stock and Mary Kerby, daughter of Francis Kerby II. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to identify the two children. Edward and Mary met in Wallsburg, Utah and later moved to the Show Low area of the Arizona Territory This picture is also on Family SearchCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946376353184306967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-8394770011120203712018-04-01T16:38:58.626-06:002018-04-01T16:38:58.626-06:00Nick, thank you so much for making contact.

You and my husband, Roy Thompson, would be 4th cousins and your common ancestors were Francois Kerby I and Jeanne Guilleaume.<br /><br />I have your grandfather in my files already, but I did not have who he married or who his children were.

My grandfather and Sue's grandmother are brother and sister. A wee bit of info to add: Farthingaudo KERBY 1684-1747 married Rachel GAUVAIN 1688-1754 in 1709. Their children were Phillippe 1710-1753, Farthingaudo 1712-1755, Marie 1715-?, Guilleaume 1717-1786, Rachel 1721-?, Elizabeth 1724-1728/29. Jean KERBY 1738-1807 was held a prisoner of war in 1806 as was his son Jean 1766-1807. It seems to me that this 'experience' ultimately led to their deaths in 1807. Jean 2nd as you said married Marie METIVIER (METTIVIE). Children Anne died 1867, Mary Peggy died 1822.

I have since been to St Heliers Jersey, seen the clock made by Francois 1 which is in the museum, seen their business premises and homes. Also got copies of wills and yes they were well off but also suffered greatly in the wars. I just loved the place, a truly spiritual experience.
