Kerner Family

First Generation

Joseph Körner or Kerner (1769-1830) came to America from Furtwangen, Baden, Germany, in 1785. He is buried at Friedland Moravian church, and gave his name to the town of Kernersville in eastern Forsyth County. He married Christina Kastner (1776-1844). Jules Gilmer Körner Jr., a descendant, wrote an excellent book relating the history of his family (see below), and this is strongly recommended to anyone seeking more information. He states that family members reverted from Kerner to the Körner spelling in 1899; however we have used Kerner throughout this page since we are concerned mostly with persons born before that date.
