Subject: Birth place of Richard Kirby of Blount Co, Tn.

A lot of information is being passed around concerning the birth place of
Richard Kirby of Blount Co, Tn. Richard Kirby Jr, of Southampton Co, Va
had a son by the name of Richard ( Richard III ) Who left a will in
Southampton Co. " was presented in court Aug 14, 1783 (page 344) by a
Lawrence House-- a witness, who was allowed 140# of tobacco for 2 days in
court and travel ling 30 miles and returning" In this will, Richard gave
his inheirted lands in Southampton Co to his younger brothers, Thomas and
Miles. It is apparent that he had no children. His wife is mentioned on
page 322.
The above is from SOUTHAMPTON CO, VA, ORDER BOOK--1778-1784

Hi Tim Carter,

I am interested that you have a GG-Grandfather Henry Kirby born 2 May 1807 in
N.C. I have a GG-Grandfather Henry Franklin Kirby born 1812 in Green Co., TN
and died January 6, 1867 in Cane Hill, Arkansas. His son was Thomas Henry
Kirby who was born in Washington Co., AR and died in 1913 and is buried there
with his wife Rebecca Virginia Ashley. My Grandfather was the Rev. William
Franklin Kerby, who was born1870 in Jackson Co., MO. and married Lula Lee
Cole in 1894. Both are now resting in graves in Arlington, Texas, where I was
born. According to a distant cousin, Clarence Thomas Chambers, our branch of
the Kirby/Kerby/Kearby family is supposedly descended from the John
Kearby/Joannah Owens family. I have a lot of information about my
Grandparents and their descendents. Maybe we have a connection. Good luck on
your search.

Hello Larry,

Your post interested me. Very seldom do I see the name KEARBY. Please
see the data below on my KIRBYs, taken from hand notes by my G-Uncle
Albert. My GG-Grandfather Henry KIRBY,(may have been William Henry
KIRBY) supposedly was born 2 May 1807 in NC. Uncle Albert indicated that
Henry spelled his last name KEARBY.

As per other writings of T.A.A. Carter, Henry was married [1] to
Elizabeth L. (?) on 8 Nov 1832, and [3] to Mary E. (?) on 9 Aug 1870.

--------------------------------------

The following was transcribed from notes written by Judge T.A.A.Carter
(Thomas Albert Almarine Carter). The spelling is as on the original
notes:

Kirby family. Henry Kearby (as he spelled his name) (Children all
spelled it Kirby) was born May 20 1807. Married 3 times. To July Ann ?
did not know maiden name June 17 1841. Died Aug 28 1888. He was of
German decent, was buried at Chidester Ouachita Co Ark by his 2nd wife,
my Gr mom.

------------------
Larry, you show that you are in Camden, SC. Were your ancestors
KEARBY's, and were any of them from there?

This family settled near Chidester, AR, near to Camden, AR. Just
wondering if this might be some indication?

Any help in finding parents and/or siblings of Henry KEARBY/KIRBY would
be greatly appreciated. Also, looking for "live KIRBY cousins".

Thank you,

My Kirby-Kerby (also sometimes KERLEY) line came to White County,
Tennessee, around Sparta about 1800. Richard and William were
brothers. John P. Kirby was the son of one of them.
Which? John's son, Reuben, married Permillia Ann Kirby, his cousin.
Reuben served in the Civil War in Dibrell's Cavalry. He and Millie Ann
moved to Cumberland County, Tennessee, back to White County, and later
to Rule, Carroll County, Arkansas, along with their children, William
Thomas, John, Polk Davis, and Susannah or Susan Ann. The children later
moved to Cass County, Texas, and-or, Grayson, Collin, Dallas, and
Denton Counties, Texas.

I am looking for information on my g-grandmother's first husband, Sylvester
KIRBY. I have almost no information about him, but here is what I do know.

My grandmother, Amanda Sue Margaret HURST, was born in Claiborne Co., TN iin 1881, to Nelson and Fanny HURST. She was single and living at home during the 1900 census. Prior to 19 Sept 1902, she married 'Vester KIRBY, according to her father's will, who denied all benefits to them. Family history says that they ran off to either Pikeville or Pineville, Kentucky
to get married. (A check of both locations has turned up nothing.) Thereafter, they moved to Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana. On 4 Oct 1906, they divorced in Crawfordsville. My g-grandmother married my g-grandfather. My understanding is that Sylvester KIRBY married a woman in Montgomery County, Indiana.
That's it -- that's all that I have to go on. Does anyone have a Sylvester KIRBY in their family history?

Thanks,

Hello,

I'm searching for the parents of a Winnyfred Kirby who was born about 1789
North Carolina. She married Jonathan Walsh b 7 April 1788 and had several sons
and daughters. One son was a name Henderson Walsh. Jonathan and Winnyfred are
buried in Madison County, TN...

Any help appreciated.

Records from a Baptist Churh in Warren Co., Tenn., lists Susanna Kerby joining
in 1814, charter member, and some later the membership list included Henry,
Henry, and Roseanna, as well as Susanna. Henry and Roseanna were excluded
from the church in 1820. Are these the same Kerbys who settled in Smith
County, where Old Henry left a will ca 1827? If not, here is another Henry
and Susanna to add to the list of Henry and Susanna Kerbys! It keeps growing!

I am new to the Kirby list so I would like to submit my sparse Kirby
info to see if anyone can help me.

I descend from Armanella Jane Kirby born 23 Aug 1845 in Jackson,TN. Her
parents are Austin Kirby b- abt 1811 in NC and Deborah Sloan b- abt 1823
in TN. Armanella married Joshua V. Glover in Perry County,IL in 1864.
Austin and Deborah had the following children:
1. Amanda Kirby b-abt 1839 in TN
2. Mariah Kirby b-abt 1844 in TN
3. Armanella Jane Kirby b-23 Aug 1845 in TN
4. General H. Kirby b- Nov. 1849 in TN
5. Clinton Kirby b-abt 1850 in TN
6. Alice Kirby b-abt 1854 in IL
7. Dewit Kirby b-abt 1863 in IL

The last name has also been spelled Kearby and Austin's name has been
spelled Austain in the 1840 Smith County, TN Census. In 1850 they are
found in Macon County, TN. I suspect that the county boundaries changed
instead of them moving very much.

I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me anything about the
Kirby-Sloan Families in TN and NC. I would like to find their parents.
Thank you.

Dear Bill:

Great to hear from a Kerby cousin! Do you know who Henry Franklin Kirby's (born 1812 in TN) father was? I'm guessing your desc from Old John & Joanna's son Henry. Let me know how you fit in. I'm desc from their son,
David, 1738-1811.

Here's all I have on your Henry:

Descendants of Henry Kerby, son of Old John & Joanna Kerby:

1   Henry Kerby b: 1734 d: 1803 Rutherford Co., Tennessee
   +Anna Witt b: Abt 1744 m: Abt 1760 d: 1806 Rutherford Co., Tennessee
2   Joseph Kerby
2   Josiah Kerby
2   Philip Kerby b: 1759
2   Christopher Kerby b: September 10, 1760
2   Henry B. Kerby, Jr. b: 1788

There are others on the List desc from Henry, so I'm sure we could fill in
much more of his descendants.
