History of Delaware County and Ohio. Containing a Brief History of the State of Ohio ... Biographical Sketches ... Etc, published 1880; 20th Century History of Delaware County, Ohio and Representative Citizens, published 1908 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 106 specimens collected within 10 miles of Kerr Corner between 1926 and 1974: 106 Animalia. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by DOWLER, R C, Hine, J. S. (James Stewart), Long, Glenn and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
