Note: in the remarks column, "Immigrated," means the
individual
furnished his own transportation to MD, while "transported: means that
someonbe other than the person indexed paid for his passage. Quite
often a person "transported" is also described as a "servant,"
which
means that he had contracted to repay the cost of his transportation by
agreeing to act as a servant for a period of years. Under certain of
the Conditions of Plantation a servant was entitled to claim fifty
acres of land upon completing his period of servitude satisfactorily. Such
claims are indicated by the word "service."
In the front of the book, it says "This book is an index to the names of the early
settlers of Maryland
that are found in the first twenty-four volumes of the Patent series. In
the descriptive list of these records that follows, it will be observed that each volume
has two reference numbers. The volume number is useful to the staff members in
returning the books to their proper location on the shelves, but serves little purpose
otherwise. It is the liber number that identifies the volume for record purposes.
Thus all references in this index are to the liber number. With one
exceptions,
the volumes listed are transcripts, so it was considered useful to give the date when the
copy was made. The dates of the original records are given in parentheses
immediately following the liber title.

I have searched my notes and have not found Richard
Henry. Most of my
research is on the Eastern Shore so if he moved to Baltimore it is unlikely
that I would have anything on him.
The Bible I mentioned is for:
William Anthony KIRBY b. 3 Apr 1826 Talbot Co., MD
m. Margaret ARMSTRONG 18 May 1858; d. 2 Feb 1893
children
1. Edward John KIRBY b. 14 May 1859
2. William Armstrong KIRBY b. 5 Jul 1861
3. Robert Walton KIRBY b. 25 Aug 1864
4. Davis Clark KIRBY b. 28 May 1868
5. Emilie KIRBY b. 15 Jan 1871
The above William was the son of
Edward KIRBY (1788-1857) mar. 1822 Celia Ross Talbot Co., MD
children:
1. William Anthony KIRBY (1826-1858)
2. Emily KIRBY m. Alexander BOWDLE
The above Edward was the son of
William KIRBY (1763-1797) mar. Sarah HADDAWAY 1786 Caroline Co., MD
children:
1. Amasa KIRBY b. 1786; d. 1821
2. Edward KIRBY b. 1788
3. Mary KIRBY b. 1790
4. Martha KIRBY b. 1793
5. Elizabeth KIRBY b. 1796
6 William KIRBY b. 1797; d. 1821
You might look to see if any of the above names run in your family. In
spite of the number of children in the above families, this is a rather
narrow line. To the best of my knowledge only one male in each of the two
earlier generations above survived and had children.
Whether or not any of this sounds familiar to you, do not loose heart. I
have often found the early 1800's the hardest period to span. When you get
back a little farther, Maryland maintains wonderful records.
Hope this helps.
Good hunting,

Hello ~ I'm new to this list and I'd like to provide a bit of information
about what I have already found in my search of the Kerby surname and
encourage anyone with additional information to assist on my line to contact
me. Thanks!
Raymond Eugene Kerby (1924 to present) is my grandfather and through
conversation with him I have been told that "Andrew Jackson Kerby"
(1862-1948) was his grandfather. I have found the resting place of Andrew
Jackson in Prince George's Cty, Maryland and note by the markers and records
that he is laid between his first and second wife, Ellen Nora Thom (d. 1905)
and Mordulia (d.1921). Another marker found in P.G. County is for "Gertrude
M." (d.1937) and states "wife of A.J. Kerby" (was Andrew Jackson married 3
times?) I have found church records only for the marriage of Andrew Jackson
Kerby to Ellen Nora Thom. And Ellen was my gr-gr-grandmother.
I have not yet had a chance to research the Census for Maryland for
additional information but do plan to do so in the near future. In the
meantime, would anyone here have information on the Kerby surname in P.G.
County, Maryland?
I also do have My Family Tree online which includes the markers as I found
them at
St. John's Episcopal Church in Broad Creek (P.G. County) Maryland at:
https://www.angelfire.com/biz/typist/surnames.html

Thanks in advance, Rhonda alkmom@msn.com

Your friend researching Cloudsbury KIRBY
is stuck in the same time period
and place that I am. There seems to be a long line of Cloudsbury's and
they become confusing.
IGI has:
Cloudsbury KIRBY m. Sarah HOPKINS 24 Jul 1796 St Peters
Par., Talb. Co.,
MD
Talbot County, MD marriages:
Cloudsbury KIRBY m. Sarah HOPKINS 23 Jul 1796
Cloudsbury KIRBY m. Elizabeth SPROUSE 3 Oct 1807
Cloudsbury KIRBY m. Rachel CUMMINGS 12 Dec 1820
Cloudsbury KIRBY m. Anne MANSFIELD 16 Apr 1823
Cloudsbury KIRBY m. Margaret Ann MARSHALL 29 May 1832
In addition to the above marriages an earlier Cloudsbury KIRBY left a
noncuperative will (liber 28; filio 349) written (said?) 31 May 1752 and
proven 1 Jun 1752 in which he left his entire estate to his mother
Elizabeth KIRBY. This will was witnessed by Christopher SPRY and James
KIRBY. This Cloudsbury Kirby was the son of Matthew Kirby (b. c.1690; d.
c.1740) and Elizabeth ___?___ [CLOUDSBURY?].
Further, Matthew KIRBY (c.1690-1740) was the son of Walter KIRBY and
Elizabeth ___?___.
I think but can not prove that I am from the above Walter KIRBY line. At
present I am lost at :
William KIRBY
b. 9 Sep 1763 Talbot County, MD
m. 6 Jan 1786 to Sarah HADDAWAY in Caroline Co., MD
d. 11 Nov 1797 Talbot County, MD
Good hunting,
Kirby in New Jersey, US
kirbyr@bellatlantic.net
For several years I have been unable to find the
parents of:
William Kirby
b. 9 Sep 1763 Talbot Co., MD
m. 6 Jan 1786 Sarah HADDAWAY, Caroline Co.,MD
d. 11 Nov 1797
Issue:
1. Amasa Kirby (1786 - 1821)
2. Edward Kirby (1788 - 1857) m. 1822 Celia Ross
3. Mary Kirby (1790 - )
4. Martha Kirby (1793 - )
5. Elizabeth Kirby (1796 - )
6. William Kirby (1797 - 1821)
I believe but can not yet prove that the above William is a descendent of
Matthew Kirby who was in Maryland by 1679. Several of his sons were on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. I would enjoy hearing from anyone with Kirby
Family in this area.

ALWAYS ON THE HUNT FOR MISSING PIECES
My Kirbys are from Maryland (and there
seems to be very few Maryland researchers), but I have received interesting
information from Kirby researchers in New England, the Mid-West and elsewhere.
It appears, to me, most of the Irish Kirbys immigrated to New England, and the
English Kirbys to Maryland and Virginia....then further South. Branches of
both went West.
I hope others researching the Maryland Kirbys will join this list.
