AL-FAMILIES

i have FINALLY found Adolphus Kirby listed on the 1880 Cherokee Co. AL
US Cesus. It says that he, and his father and mother were born in North
Carolina. On june 15, 1880 he is listed as being 57 years old. Does
anyone have any information on him?

Hello Kirby folks,

I wanted to find out if anyone has an Emeline Kirby in their line.
She was born in Alabama (I don't know where) in 1847. She is listed in the 1860 Benton Co., Arkansas Census as staying with my descendents, (Kirby's) yet she was
not their daughter. Any help with this would be greatly
appreciated......................

Thanks, Kim Breeden breeden@holly.colostate.edu

Adrianne,
Will you please enter my URL in your program. I am descended from Richard Kirby Bd 1748~~~~~Richard Jr. 1788 Richard Jr moved to Alabama   and most of my kin are in or were from Jackson County and Marshall Co. Al.
I notice for some reason only one enquiry about the Kirby's is listed in Alabama. Four of Richard 1748 sons came to Alabama : Joseph L. and John came to Jackson County Al.,and RichardJr.Came to Marshall county Alabama and
settled. James came down and then returned to Tn.   Many of the descendants of these people migrated to Texas and other states from Alabama. I was born and raised in Jackson Co. Alabama and later moved to Anniston in Calhoun Co. Al. Thomas Hawkins Kin settled in Calhoun County (formerly Benton Co.)Thomas was the son of John one of Old Richard's sons.
I hope some of this info gets entered in the Alabama section most end up in Tn.or Va. but many Kirby's have roots in Alabama. I have about 1450 kin in my program and can show anyone how to access many more through JIMMAIL,and others

Uncle Mon' name was Solomon Nathaniel KIRBY, born Dec. 1878 Randolph Co. AL,
died 12 Feb 1955 in Baytown, TX, buried in Votaw, Hardin Co. TX when he had
owed a general store. Married L Dora DAVIS (born Feb 1881) on 28 Nov 1897.
Children:Lena, Christine, Johnny. 2nd marriage to Pearl KELLY, children:
Bernice, James Curtis.

I feel sure that Ransom is the father of William Terry KIRBY, but have no
concrete proof. Do you?

Maybe the above information can help someone.

I am fascinated by the recurrence of names in this geneology. There were
John, Daniel, Lura, and Monroe. Could there be a connection? We can go back
only as far as Ransom Kirby whose son was Wm. Terry Kirby, whose son was John
Daniel. Kirby, who had two children, one named Monroe and one girl named
Lura. John Daniel came from Randolph County Ala, had 2l children by 3 wives.
Many still live in this area. The Kirbys who migrated to Killeen Tex. were of
this family, descendants of Monroe Kirby and also Parmer Kirby Anderson.

Below is a descendants tree of John Kirby of Pittsylvania Co., VA. I would
like to flesh out lines other than mine. I will be happy to make this
information available in GEDCOM or tinytafel, but won't be able to do much
until after nex semester starts. Please let me know of any corrections or
additions.

I have another John born in Va. in 1769 to Richard Kirby Va 1748 and
Sarah Jean Small {Scotland 1748) This John Married Jane Addair of Va. and
had a son Thomas Hawkins Kirby 1787.
The names John,Richard and Thos. Hawkins pop up in my files.
John and Jane ended up in Jackson Co. Alabama and Thomas Hawkins in
CalhounCo. Alabama.
I think my Kirby line known as the Tennessee Kirbys will not mesh with the
lines you folks seek but oh the similatities in names!
I descend fom Richard Jr 1788 son of Richard 1748.

If this connects with any of your ancestors, I have more complete details on
