Thomas Kerby, age 24, Single, head-of-household.

His parents William, age 79 and

____________________________________________

At one time great grandfather, according to land titles in Tyler county, owned 100 acres of land on Fish Creek; the record is in Tyler since Wetzel was not created until 1846.

In 1850, the census shows William Kirby in Aleppo Township, Greene County, and Pennsylvania.

In the meantime my great grandmother Mary had died, time and place of burial not given, and great grandfather William had-.married Harriett Riggs.

At the time of the 1850 census, Rezin White Kirby was 21, John Wesley Kirby, 20 and were still at home. No data recorded for the sisters.

It is possible great grandfather had a brother named "Abe". The headstone of my great grandfather's grave in the Hur Cemetery shows he was born September 4, 1800, died April 7, 1881.

==========================================

Deed Book, No. 2, p. 197, in Calhoun County Clerk's office, May 1867, shows my grandfather John Wesley Kirby, "$200.00 cash in hand, paid," acquired 100 acres of land on "Barrens" run and the same book, p. 232, January 1869 states "$100.00 in hand paid," he bought 50 acres more on "Barrens" run.

There is a story in the family that part of the "cash in hand, Paid," was a little bay mare my grandfather rode into Calhoun County.

The census of 1870 contains information that John Wesley Kirby had married Ruhama Stallman, daughter of Peter Stallman.

The marriage records give the date for this wedding as June 10, 1862'. The marriage license shows John Wesley Kirby, 27, born In Pennsylvania, Ruhama Stallman, 18, born in Gilmer county, Virginia. In the census of 1870, the family is listed in Lee Township, later Lee District, Calhoun county, with real estate valued at $300,009 personal property, $150.00, My grandfather was attending a grist mill.

Ok, this is what I have. Any additions, corrections, gladly rec'd. My sources are other researchers, lookup vols., Calhoun county History book, Calhoun County Cemetery book, my own transcriptions and a little from the Grantsville Co library (some census records). As I said, I haven't worked this line in some time and have not tracked down any docs. If you hadn't come along, I wouldn't be working it now. See what you've done!!! LOL
