History of Hamilton County Ohio
CHAPTER II GEOLOGY AND TOPOGRAPHY

There is one other line of facts in connection with the drift beds of the county that must not be
omitted here. It is the great depth which some of these deposits have been found to hold below
the present drainage of the country. The series of facts obtained by Timothy Kirby, esq., in boring
a deep well in Mill Creek valley, at Cum-minsville, now within the corporate limits of Cincinnati,
proves very interesting in this as well as in other respects. Beginning at an elevation of ninety feet
above low-water of the Ohio, a succession of drift deposits was penetrated until a depth of sixty
feet below low-water was reached, the bedded rock being first struck at a depth of one hundred
and fifty-one feet below the point of beginning. The deposits included, in descending order, twelve
feet of soil and brick clay, four of sand, thirty-four of blue clay with gravel, nineteen of gravel,
three of coarse sand, eleven of sand with fragments of bituminous coal, nine of blue clay with
gravel (at the bottom of this the level of low-water in the Ohio was reached), sixteen of blue clay
and fine sand and sprinkled with coal, and forty-three of sand, water-worn gravel, and blue clay,
with occasional fragments of bituminous coal, below which, at the depth of one hundred and
fifty-one feet from the surface, were the shales of the Blue Limestone group. Several remarkable
facts are to be observed in this section, the most striking of which is the great depth to which the
excavation of Mill Creek valley was formerly carried. The bed of the stream that occupies the
valley today is at a higher level by one hundred and twenty feet than that of the ancient channel. It
is easy to see that this erosion could not have been effected under existing conditions. It can only
be explained by a higher altitude of the continent, and is thus referred to the opening division of
the glacial period. It has not been demonstrated that continuous channels exist at this great depth;
but the rocky barriers that fringe the streams do not at best disprove this theory, as there is always
room for a deeper channel on one side or the other of the great valleys.

My Kirby line is as follows:


Joel Kirby, w. Hannah,  lived in Miami Co., OH in early 1800's.

Daughter Olivia Kirby, married William Buckles.  Olivia had a sister Libby
Snodgrass.  I have a picture of Olivia & Libby taken in mid-1870's.

Anyone have any information on Joel and wife Hannah.  They were suppose to
come from NJ?

Hi I am Sean Alexander Kirby I was born in 1970 in Marymount hospital, Lake County, Ohio. my father is Alan Arthur Kirby, born in Cleveland Ohio 1945, his Father is Arthur Kirby (no middle name) b 1910 d 1994 Youngstown Ohio. his father was Arthur Kirby from York PA. this is all I know so far, although we do trace back to a John and Mary Kirby somewhere in the chain. there is a large burial memorial located in Youngstown Ohio, I have just started researching all of this, but I am highly interested in any information that can be provided, My father is working on places and dates that he can remeber. I would like to be added to the list if possible.

Thanks Sean Kirby  skirby@minot.com

 


Help!

I can't seem to find anything on a JOHN KERBY, born about 1825 in Virginia.
I don't know when or where he died or when he married, but I do know he
married Amanda BERKLEY, probably in Ohio.

Together they had at least one son: Charles Edward KERBY (b. 1854 in Ohio;
d. 1934 in Illinois).  The son (CEK) married Addie Jenettie MATHENEY on 11
March 1877 in Ohio.   CEK and AJM had at least two children, Charles Wesley
KERBY (b.1880 in Illinois; d. 1963 in Illinois) and Fred Lee KERBY/KIRBY (b.
1877 in Illinois; d. 1963 in Oregon).  Fred is my grandfather.  Does anyone
have any information about this John Kerby or his wife, Amanda?

Thanks for any help. Bill Kirby
