' INTRODUCTION
In 1818 Elisha Kirby of Middletown, Ct., Captain Ralph Smith
of Iladdam, Ct., and others, compiled a genealogical table of the
first five generations of the descendants of John Kirby of !Middle-
town. The manuscript copy belonging to Elisha Kirby fell into
the hands of his grandson, Samuel H. Kirby of New Haven, Ct.,
who published the same in 1890 under the title of '' Kirby Family "
— a pamphlet folio of twelve pages. " The Kirbys of New Eng-
land " was begun with the purpose merely of correcting some
errors in the " Kirby Family " and of bringing it down to date,
but it has grown to its present moderate proportions through
information kindly furnished by many who have become interested
in the progress of the work. Of these, special thanks are due to
Frank F. Starr of iSIiddletown, Mrs. Charles A. Dudley of Guil-
ford, David B. Kirby of New York City, and William A. Kirby
of New Bedford, To the latter is almost wholly due the account
of the descendants of Richard Kirby of Sandwich. It was at first
the intention to record and publish only the descendants of John
Kirby of Middletown, and this branch of the New England Kirbys
is more completely carried out than the other branches. But suffi-
cient information having been obtained with regard to the de-
scendants of Joseph Kirby of Hartford and of Richard Kirby of
Sandwich to warrant its publication, this has been done, although
the account of these branches is confessedly incomplete, and calls
for further labor on the part of any who m.ay be interested in
finishing what has only been begun. The publication of these
imperfect accounts of the other branches of the New England
Kirbys has appeared the more desirable since finding there is good
reason for the belief that the Litchfield Kirbys are nearly related
to those of Middletown, and some reason for the conjecture that
the descendants of Richard Kirby of Sandwich are also related
to the Middletown Kirbvs.

INTRODUCTION
That John Kirby of Middletown was tlie brother of Joseph
Kirby of Hartford, the ancestor of the Litchfield Kirbys, is ren-
dered highly probable by the discovery that the only surviving
son of the former was known as Joseph Kirby, Junior. (See
Joseph, son of John of ]Middletown.) Besides this indication,
there are others which are significant. For, as John of Middletown
named his son Joseph, Jr., so Joseph of Hartford named his only
known son John; both also came from Warwickshire, England,
and both were at Hartford near the time of its first settlement.
Nor should the tradition preserved in both famiHes, that the
founders of the jMiddletown and Litchfield Kirbys w^ere brothers,
be left altogether out of account. There is also some reason for
the belief that John Kirby of JMiddletown was the brother of
Richard Kirby of Sandwich. The former came to New England
in the Hopewell, Captain Babb, ^Master, which sailed from Lon-
don, England, for New England, Sept. ii, 1635. His name is
found registered among those of the other passengers as " Jo.
Kerbie aged 12 years," and is the only Kirby named. It is rea-
sonable to presume that he came in the care of some fellow-
passenger or passengers. Among these, and heading the list, is
" Husb. Wm. Wood aged 27 years." Then follow the names of
" Elisabeth Wood, 24 years, Jo. Wood, 26 years, Robert Cham-
bers, 13 years, Tho. Jno'son, 25 years. Marc Hubbard, 24 years "
and " Jo. Kerbie, 12 years " — the seventh in the list of fifty-four
passengers. Suspicion points toward William W^ood and his wife
Elizabeth as the persons in whose care was John Kirby. Who,
then, was this \\'illiam Wood? Lewis says that " he settled in
Lynn as early as 1629 and resided there according to his own
account about four years. During this time he wrote an inter-
esting book entitled ' New England Prospects.' He sailed Aug.
15, 1633, for London, where in the following year he published
his book. In 1635 ^^ published a map of New England. He
returned to Lynn the same year, embarking in the Hopewell
Sept. II, 1635. In 1637 ^"16 went with fifty companions and com-
menced a settle:nent at Sandwich, ]Mass." (" History of Lynn,
Mass.," Lewis and Newhall, page 113.) Since Richard Kirby
was at first a resident of Lynn and afterward accompanied Will-
iam Wood to Sandwich, we may suspect that John Kirby, aged

INTRODUCTION
twelve, the passenger of the Hopewell, was in the care of William
Wood, to be conveyed to his brother Richard. Unhappily, an-
tiquarians are not agreed concerning William Wood, the author.
Dr. Deane, who edited the republication of " New England
Prospects," dissents from the statements of Lewis. Shattuck
claims him for Concord, -^lass., and Savage, although convinced
that the author was really William Wood of Lynn and Sandwich,
will venture no opinion with regard to the passenger of the Hope-
well, but says that if he be William Wood, the author, " which I
neither affirm or deny," then he could not be the William Wood
of Concord, as claimed by Shattuck.
Another circumstance suggesting relationship between John
and Richard Kirby is the fact that the former was at Plymouth,
Mass., in 1643, being then enrolled there as " able to bear arms."
At this time he was about twenty-one years of age, and supposing
that he had accompanied Richard Kirby to Sandwich in 1637 as
a member of the latter's family, he might naturally be found in
1643 ^t Plymouth, the principal town of the Old Colony. Since
family names are sometimes family guides, it may be added that
both Richard of Sandwich and John of IMiddletown had daugh-
ters named Sarah, and that their youngest daughters were named
Abigail. Again, Richard had only two sons, one of whom was
named after himself and the other received the Puritan name of
Recompense, but Richard, Jr., named his eldest son John, per-
haps after John of Middletown, whom, if indeed his uncle, he
must have remembered, since Richard, Jr., was born before his
father's removal to Sandwich. It is easy to give the reins to the
imagination where one wishes to believe; and we should like to
believe that John Kirby, the passenger of the Hopewell, " aged
12 years," was brought by William Wood to his brother Richard
Kirby of Lynn, where he became a member of Richard's family;
that he removed with the same to Sandwich, where he resided
until about 1643, when he removed to Plymouth, and shortly
afterward sought his brother Joseph and the fertile lands of the
Connecticut Valley at Hartford, Ct.
The name of Kirby is probably one of Danish origin. It
was originally written Kirkby, from Kirke, meaning church, and
hye, dwelling. The earliest use of the word is found in the name

INTRODUCTION
of one of the shires of Deira, a part of ancient Northumbria. A
very early use of the word is found in the names of several towns
in the north of England, viz., Kirkby Kendal, Kirkby Lonsdale,
Kirkby Stephen, etc. Although originally written Kirkby, the
name has long been pronounced as if written Kirby, hence the
latter spelling has almost altogether superseded the former. The
earUest appearance of the name as designating a particular family
is found in the title given to the barons of Kirkby Kendal in
Westmoreland. The first Baron Kirkby was Ivo Taillebois. who
came with the Conqueror. He died without male issue, and the
barony passed to his brother Gerard's family. In 1272 John
Kirkby was made Keeper of the Great Seal, and soon afterward
Bishop of Ely. In 1322 another John Kirkby (also written
Kirby) was created Bishop of Carlisle. In the fifteenth and six-
teenth centuries there were several families of Kirkbys and Kirbys
living in various parts of England, as is shown by the Visitations
of Essex, Leicestershire, Yorkshire, etc., which have recently
been published by the Harleian Society from the original manu-
scripts kept in the British Museum. The Kirby names usually
found in these Visitations are Richard, Roger, William, and John
— all Norman names. These are the names usually met v/ith
among the early Kirbys of New England, and this circumstance
suggests the idea that the New England Kirbys were of Norman
origin. Som.e effort has been made to trace their ancestry in
England. Joseph Kirby came from Warwickshire, and John
Kirby in 1654 sold an estate in Rowington, Wanvickshire, to
Richard Lord, from which it is presumed that he also came from
the same county. Letters were addressed to the incumbent of
the parish of Rowington, but unfortunately the parish registers
were begun as late as 1638, so nothing could be ascertained from
them. The baptism of Michael Kirby, son of Humphrey, Sept.
22, 1622, found in one of the recovered sheets of the lost register
of St. Mary's Church in Warwick, shows, however, that there
were Kirbys living in the vicinity in the early part of the seven-
.teenth century. That John Kirby came from Rowington, War-
wickshire, is further shown by the follov.'ing document:

Memorandum.
To get whatever evidence you can that your father came from Rowington
in Warwickshire. Also what you can that your grandmother's name was
]\[argaret White. Also what your cousin Buck remembers of the people of
Elowington.
This document was in the possession of Captain Seth Kirby
of Chadton, X. Y., who spoke of its never being heard from.
The death of Thomas Bannister the following year, 1709, was
probably the reason why nothing further was known concerning
this matter. This paper shows that John Kirby, in all probability,
came from Rowington in Wanvickshire, England, and that his
children believed a considerable estate in Warwickshire right-
fijilly belonged to his heirs. Rowington is situated about five
n^iiles from the town and castle of Warwick. It is possible that
the ancestors of the New England Kirbys descended from Sir
jlohn Kirkby, whose daughter Matilda married William Beau-
cjhamp, the first Earl of Warwick of that family. (See " Visita-

tion of Yorkshire," page 245.) There is a sug-g:estion of good
family descent in the provision made by John Kirby of Midd/.e-
town in his will, that two portions of his estate should " not be
sold out of the blood," but should " pertain to some of my children
or children's children to the end of the world." This singular
provision, especially its peculiar wording, is not easily intelligible
without the presupposition that the testator was conscious of de-
scent from a family of English gentry, and so was both proud of
his " blood " and familiar with the entail of landed estate. ;
The Kirbys of New England form a small family group. For
both John of jMiddletown and Joseph of Hartford had but one
grandson, and Richard of Sandwich had only two grandsons
(whose descendants have been fairly traced) to perpetuate the
name of Kirby. Their forefathers settled in places remote from
centres of influence. Nevertheless, they have made their influ-
ence felt, especially in their country's warfares. About one-half
of the descendants of John Kirby of JMiddletown, and the same
proportion of the known descendants of Joseph Kirby of Hart-
ford, able to bear arms, were Revolutionary soldiers. The
descendants of Richard Kirby of Sandwich were mostly Quakers.
Nevertheless, four of his descendants, out of the limited number
able to take up arms, served as soldiers during the Revolution.
In the war of 1812, and in the Civil War, a large proportion of
the Kirbys of New England descent were engaged, and served
with some distinction. Nor have they been without influence
in time of peace. One of the very first in New England to espouse
the cause of the Quakers was Richard Kirby of Sandwich, and
the first organized eftbrt in behalf of temperance was made by
Ephraim Kirby of Litchfield, Ct.
Independence, fortitude, hatred of false conventionalities, rec-
titude, and sternness of moral purpose have hitherto been the
characteristics of the New England Kirbys. May their posterity
continue to exhibit the same traits of character and add to the
virtues of their ancestors.

ITHE HISTORY OF THE DESCENDANTS
) OF JOHN KIRBY OF MIDDLETOWN
CONNECTICUT
Among the passengers of the Hopewell, Thomas Babb, Master,
regjistered on Sept. ii, 1635, ^s about to sail from the port of
Lojndon, England, for New England, was " Jo. Kerbie, aged 12
ye^rs." On the list of the inhabitants of Plymouth, 2vlass., be-
tw(ben sixteen and sixty years of age, who were enrolled Aug.,
1643, as able to bear arms, is the name of '' John Kerby." The
Hjartford records contain the following entry: " Eli[sabeth]
K(^crbe, daughter of John Keerbe, was [born] the eaighten of
September one thousand six hundred forty and six." There is
sufticient proof that the Hartford record refers to the birth of
the second daughter of John Kirby, who subsequently removed
to Middletown; and in the absence of any knowledge that there
was another person bearing the same name then living in New
England, it is confidently presumed that all the above-men-
tioned records refer to one and the same person, who was after-
ward known as John Kirby of Middletown.
1. John Kirby of Middletown, Ct., came from Warwickshire,
England. For there is a deed of property by him to Richard
Lord of Hartford, Ct., made Sept. 3, 1654, and recorded in ]\Ianu-
script Copy of First Book Colonial Records of Connecticut,
pp. 272, 273, said property consisting of a house and land, and
situated within the bounds of the township of Rowington in
Warwickshire, England, which indicates that he was a native of
that county. He came to New England, as has been presumed,
during the autumn of 1635 in the ship Hopewell, Captain Babb,
Master, being then only twelve years of age. In Aug., 1643, ^^^
was living at Plymouth, Mass., and before April, 1645, ^e had
become a resident of Hartford, Ct. For at this date it is re-

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN KIRBV
corded that " John Kirby and Seth Grant contracted to herd t'iie
Hartford cattle for a stated price payable at their houses in coirn,
peas, etc. on their demand." In 1647 he appears to be living in
Wethersfield, Ct., for the town records state that in this year he
recorded " ear marks " for his cattle. The Wethersfield recor ds
state that his daughter Hannah was born in Wethersfield March
2, 1649, so that he was certainly by that time an inhabitant of
that place. Having joined " The Company for settling the plant-
ing grounds at Mattabesett," he became a resident of Middle-
town, Ct., some time between Dec, 1651, and Jan. 16, 1654,
and remained there until his death. His lands in ]\Iiddleto\vn,
which were recorded to him in the Town Book, Jan. 10, 1655,
were located on the " North Side " of the rivulet, or " North
Society," now the town of Cromwell, Ct. His homestead farm'
was situated in the extreme western part of the present town of
Cromwell, in the bend of the river Mattabesett (Little River)
where it turns and runs southeast. The bridge over the river,
just above the bend, is still called the Kirby bridge. Below the
bridge is a small but picturesque and wooded island. The house,
whose foundations are still to be seen, stood on higher ground,
sloping gradually to the river. Here John Kirby lived, accumu-
lated a good estate, and reared a numerous family. He was made
a freeman by the General Court of Connecticut at a session held
in May, 1658. He died April, 1677, leaving a will made on April
6th and an estate valued at £551, the inventory of which was
dated on the 27th of the same month.
WILL OF JOHN KIRBY AND THE INVENTORY OF HIS ES-
TATE, PRESERVED IN THE RECORDS OF THE PROBATE
COURT AT HARTFORD, CT.
I, John Kirby of Middletown in the County of Hartford, in His Majesty's
Colony of Connecticott in N. England, being weak in body and not knowing
how soon it may please God to leave me to my dust, but yet through mercy
of perfect understanding and memory do therefore make this my last will and
testament.
In the first place I do will my soul unto the hands of Jesus Christ my
Lord and God, and will my body to be decently buried and for the outward
estate which God hath given me, I do dispose thereof in manner following.
First of all to the intent that my loving wife may not be destitute of a
comfortable subsistence while she shall live, I do give and bequeath unto her
the possession and use of all my estate, whether houseing or lands, or other
estate, as exists in my possession during her natural life; excepting only

what shall afterwards be particularly mentioned. I do also give her liberty
i( 5he see herself necessitated so to do to sell any such part of my estate as
aforesaid for her necessary living.
Item: I do give and bequeath to my son Joseph and to my daughter
Mary each of them a portion double to the portion of any of the rest of my
children: and to the rest of my children (all of which are daughters) I do
pive each of them a portion equal to one another. I will also that ui case
Joseph shall marry before his mothers decease that then he shall have the
use of that house and lot which Jno. should have had if he had lived, and in
case (and as long as) his mother can spare it together with whatever else his
mother can and shall see cause to accommodate him withal yet not exceeding
his said portion.
Item: My will is that my lands (excepting what my wite may be neces-
sitated and see cause to sell as is above said) as well as my other estate shall
be divided among all my children according to the proportion aforesaid, and
ina<;much as some of my children are deceased and have left children behind
thc:n, my will is that the portion of these my children which are already de-
ceased, or which shall decease and leave children surviving before this dis-
tribution of my estate be fully made; and which cannot be made while my
wife shall live; I say the portion of any of my children so deceased, or de-
ceasing, shall fall to the children of the deceased or to such of those children
as shall be living when this distribution shall be made. Also, forasmuch as
some of my children have received something in part of their portion al-
ready, I will that what they have received be accounted as part of their por-
tion and said portion which I now give to them, and that the rest which
have yet received nothing have a portion equal to them, both as to what
they have already received and are yet to receive, that is Joseph equal to
Mary and the rest one to another equal as is aforesaid.
Item: As for that parcel of my land which lyes near to Daniel Harris his
farme on the West of Connecticut River and contains about three hundred
acres, and another parcel of my land containing near or about two hundred
acres and lying at or about Pipe-stem swamp on the West also of Connecti-
cut River my will is that to whichsoever of my children or children's children
these parcels of land or any part thereof shall fall, they shall not at any time
be sold out of the blood, but in case any of my children or their children see
cause to sell any part thereof it shall be only given one to another of them,

This was a good estate for those days. John Dwight of Ded-
ham left, in 1661, an estate inventoried at £506, yet he was esteemed
the wealthiest man in Dedham, save the Minister. It was even
a large estate for Middletown, if the " Hubbard Genealogy " be
correct when it states (page 275) that Thomas W'etmore, Sr., who
died in 1681, was " the richest man in town." Nevertheless, his
estate was valued at only £468 2s. 3d.
The above inventory enables us to form some idea concerning
John Kirby's house, as well as of his mode of living and his do-
mestic arrangements. It is evident that the house was a one-
story dwelling containing three rooms, viz., the " dwelling room,"
which also seems to have served for the kitchen, a small bed-
chamber above the cellar, and a lean-to or " low room " ; and
that the " chamber," or garret, was not divided into apartments.
From such ancient houses as have survived even to the begin-
ning of the present century, it is easy to form a still closer idea of
the house and its internal appearance. It faced the south, as all
the early dwellings did, and the chimney, which projected out-
side of the frame, was on the west side. By so building, two
objects were secured which our forefathers deemed essential —
the rays of the sun at noon, or dinner-time, shone parallel with
the side of the building, and the living-room was on the sunny

or warm side of the house. It was, as we have said, of one story,
and the chamber, or garret, projected on the east side over the
lower portion. Its exact size cannot be determined, but it was
probably i8 x 24, which, together with the lean-to on the north
side, perhaps 8 feet wide, would make the entire dimensions of
tlie ground-plan 26 x 24 feet. It v/as built, not of logs, as it is
often erroneously supposed the houses of the first settlers were
built, but of hand-sawed or hewn planks an inch and a quarter
in thickness, and the frame was constructed of heavy timber.
The seams in the boarding were filled with clay, and the Hoor
was fastened to sleepers laid on the ground even with the lower
edge of the sills. The thatched roof (^or perhaps the curb-roof
of shingles), windows with small diamond-shaped glass set in
lead, and a clete door, with a wooden latch and string, complete
the external picture of the dwelling.
Entering at the southeast corner, one was obliged to step over
the sill, the entry-tloor being a foot lower than the threshold. In
the entry was a ladder, or rude stair, leading to the chamber or
garret. The great room, or dwelling-room, to the left, occupied
the whole of the west end of the house proper, and was about
18 X 16 feet in dimensions. The chimney projected into the room,
v.-ith no finishing boards around it. The fireplace was seven or
eight feet wide and four feet deep, with an oven at the south end,
and the mantel was five and one-half feet high. The hearth was
laid with flat stones taken from the fields. The heavy sills pro-
jected into the room and formed low seats on three sides. The
small glass v/indows were without curtains. The furniture con-
sisted of a few rush-bottomed chairs, two tables, together with
a "small table," and the kitchen utensils: the great pot, skillet,
spit, and frying-pan. On one side of the room were two large
trencher shelves on which was displayed the pewter of the family,
and which provided room for other things, such as the " nine
Bibles," which make an interesting item in the inventory, for the
paternal as well as the religious feelings of John Kirby are re-
vealed in this his endeavor to provide a Bible for each member of
his numerous family. The " bed-chamber above the cellar," so
spoken of because the floor was elevated a foot or more to give
grreater depth at this point to the cellar beneath it, occupied the
northeast comer of the house. One had to mount by steps on
the east side of the dwelling-room in order to enter it. It was
so low in the walls that a tall person could not stand upright in
it, and the bed must have occupied most of the space. At the
13

time of the inventory, iiowever, it seems to have been used merely
as a store-room, for the bed is absent. It contained, amon- other
thins^s, the movable cupboard or buffet and the arms or the
family' two guns and swords— only two gims now, for the eldest
son, John, only a few months before had been killed by the Indians.
The " low room," or lean-to, on tiie north side probably ran the
whole lenc^th of that side of the house, and at the eastern end
was the pantrv, with its trap-door leading to the cellar. It was
used evidentlv at the time of the inventory as a bedroom, as well
as a convenient place in spring-time for spinning. It contained
a bed, a trundle-bed, and three spinning-wheels, one for "woolen "
and two for " linen," for there were several daughters. In the
cellar were four barrels of cider, still left from the winter store,
and twelve pounds of tobacco. There was a pipe, too, upstairs,
all of which clearly evinces that John Kirby, although lie had
nine Bibles, had also some human infirmities. In " the chamber,"
or garret, there was a bed, with its " furniture," i.e., everything
that belonged to the bed, including curtains and valances. The
linen chest also, with its goodly store, seems to have been kept
there, and upon the iloor was spread the seed-corn— wheat, rye,
barley, and maize— for the future planting. Some of the corn,
however, had already, April 27th. been put into the ground.
We have endeavored to describe the house and home of John
Kirby, the settler, as it appears from the terms of the inventory
taken at the time of his decease. If, in addition, we pic cure to
ourselves the house as standing on rising ground, overlooking
the clear and willow-fringec' :Mattabesett, not more than twenty
rods away, and which, turning here in its southern course and
flowing eastward, sparkles beside, as well as before, the door of
the dwelling, while beyond the river there rises the noble outline
of Mount Lamentation and of many another distant elevation,
we shall be able to form some conception of the homestead of
the forefather of the Middletown Kirbys and of the beauty of its
situation.
Concerning the wife of John Kirby nothing is positively known
A- except that her name was Elizabeth; that she married (2) Abra-
ham Randall of Windsor, Ct.; outlived her second husband, and
died after 1697. It is believed, however, that her name was Eliza-
beth Hinds; that she was the niece of Sarah (Hinds) Cheplin,
wife of Clement Cheplin of Bury St. Edmunds, Co. Suftolk,
England, and afterward of Wethersfield, Ct. ; that she was born

in Bury St. Edmunds, and accompanied, or followed, her aunt to
Welhcrsfield, Ct., and was married to John Kirby before 1645.
Tiie reasons for such belief are based mainly upon the following
letter, found in Hartford in the manuscript copy of the first book
of the Colonial Records of Connecticut, page 273 (original book,
page 285) :
Cozin Kirby. My love remembered to yon both. I have sent your
Wife a small token with a Letter to you by \Vm. Goodrich. Your Wife's
Father is yett alive and in good Health. I doe forgive you all that you
owcth nic and pray God that it may doe you good. I Desire you may grow
in Grace and so wishing you much good from God I remain your Loving
Kinsman Sarah Cheplin.
Bur>', 2 January 1661.
Superscribed to my Cozin John Kirby late of Wethersfield.
The terms of John Kirby's will show that his wife Elizabeth
must have been a woman whose husband could safely trust in
her, for he left her the possession and use of all his estate dur-
ing her life. And that she was worthy of such confidence is
evident from her relinquishment of the estate so bequeathed to
her, " that she might not be destitute of a comfonable subsist-
ence," to her children after her second marriage. She married
a second time, Oct. 2-], 1681, Abraham Randall of Windsor, Ct,
the son of Philip Randall of Dorchester and Windsor. Mr. Ran-
dall died Oct. 2, 1690, in Windsor and she returned to Middle-
town. In April, 1697, she had become a resident of Wethersfield,
and probably died there.
The children of John and Elizabeth Kirby were:
2. i. Mary Kirby, b. 1644, probably in Hartford, Ct.; m.
Emanuel Buck.
3. ii. Elizabeth Kirby, b. Sept. 8, 1646, in Hartford, Ct.; m.

2. Mary- Kirby (John^), born 1644, probably in Hartford, Ct.
When less than fourteen years of age she married, April 17, 1658,
as his second wife, Emanuel Buck of Wethersfield, Ct. On page
3, Vol. n., of the Land Records of Wethersfield, Ct., it is recorded
that " Emanuel Buck and Mary his wife married 17th of Aprell
1658." In John Kirby's will, dated April 6, 1677, the husband
of Mary Kirby is called " my son-in-law Emanuel Bucke of
Wethersfield." But later he seems to have changed his name,
and was known as Enoch Buck. In !vIiddletow^n Land Records,
Vol. III., page 325, is a division of land, dated Nov. 16, 1716, be-
tween Benjamin Churchill and wife Sarah, John Fowler and wife
Hannah, Caleb Dudley and wife Elizabeth, Samuel Arnold and
wife Abigail, and Thomas Buck, which states that they are the
children of Enoch and Mary Buck of Wethersfield, and grand-
children of John Kirby, deceased, of Middletov.-n. It is therefore
certain that " Emanuel " and " Enoch " Buck of Wethersfield are
one and the same person; and that he married Mary, daughter of
John Kirby of Middletown. He was probably born in 1623, since
he testified in court, 1684, that he was then aged sixty-one years.
He was a freeman, also constable. 1669. He died between Nov.,
1715, and Nov. 6, 1716. Mary Kirby Buck is supposed to have
died Jan. 17, 171 2, in Wethersfield, Ct. Emanuel Buck's first
wife was Sarah , by whom he had three children: (i)
Ezekiel, b. Jan. 15, 1650; d. March 5, 1713; m., March 18, 1676.
Rachel, dau. of John and Mary Andrews of Farm.ington, Ct. ;

•1. Hannah^ Kirby Qo^^ri^)' ^^'^^ ^larch 2, 1649, in Wethers-
hcKi, Ct.; married, before 1673, Thomas Andrews of Middletown,
Ct., probably son of William Andrews, " the schoolmaster," of
Hartford, Ct., by Abigail, his second wife. Thomas Andrews
died before March 3, 1690, and she married (2) Alexander Rollo
of 1-Iaddam, Ct. There is an ante-nuptial agreem.ent, dated Nov.
3, 1693. which reads: " F"or as much as there is intended matri-
mony betwixt Alexander Rollo of Haddam and Hannah Andrews
late wife of Thomas Andrews of Middletown," etc. The date of
the marriage is not recorded, but it was before Dec. 3, 1693.
Alexander Rollo died July 22, 1709, in Haddam, Ct., and she
Tiiarriod (3), before Jan., 1716, William Stone of Guilford, Ct.
She died Oct., 1717.
The Andrews ^Memorial erroneously states that the widow
of Thomas Andrews of IMiddletown, in the inventory of his estate
taken and returned to the Probate Court at Hartford, March 3,
1690-1691, is nam.ed Abigail, and that the children of the deceased
were Mary, Thomas, John, Samuel, Hannah, Elizabeth, and
Sarah. This is incorrect. The name of the widow is not stated,
either in the inventory presented or in the administration granted.
The names of the children in the inventory are " Thomas, John,
Samuel, Hannah, Elizabeth, Sarah, Abigail Andrews." On Dec.
6, 1693, the children of Thomas Andrews requested distribution
of his estate. Thirds were ordered to the widow, but her name
is not mentioned. She was married and had removed. That the
name of the wife of Thomas Andrews of Middletown, Ct., was
Hannah Kirby, daughter of John and Elizabeth Kirby of Middle-
town is conclusively shown; first, by the ante-nuptial agreement
between *' Alexander Rollo of Haddam and Hannah Andrews,
late wife of Thomas Andrews of Middletown," and dated Nov.
30, 1693; secondly, by the Inventory of John Kirby 's estate, dated
April 2j, 1677, which m.entions " Hannah Kirby, wife of Thomas
.Anrlrcws " ; thirdly, by tlie "\Iiddletov.-n Land Records, Vol. H.,
page 91 : " April 6, 1688, I Elisabeth Randolph, wife to Abraham
Randall of Winzor do give unto my dafter Hannah Andros of
Middletown," etc. " I do give my consent to the above written,
as witness my hand. Joseph Kirby." (From the latter record
it lias been supposed that the family name of Elizabeth, wife of
John Kirby of ^Middletown, may have been Randolph; but it is
probable that " Randolph " is a clerical error, and should have
been "■ Randall." John Kirby died in 1677, and his v.-idow mar-
ried (2), Oct. 27, 1 68 1, Abraham Randall of Windsor.)

also the widow of Thomas Andrews of Middletown mar-
ried, in 1693, Alexander Rollo of Haddam, and removed
thither, probably taking with her the children who were

Andrews of Hartford and Fairfield, Ct., died 1663, and Anne
Smith, daughter of Giles Smith of Hartford, New London, and
Fairfield, who died 1669. The History of Fairfield, Ct., says that

Sarah, daughter of Simon Couch, and had John, born Oct. 24,
1679; Sarah, born Jan. 12, 1681; died 1683; and four other chil-

"Land Records of Aliddletown " fully show (see Vol. L, p. 26;
Vol. H., p. 66, and Vol. IV., p. 26), and had only two children.
It was a grandson of John and Bethiah (Kirby) Andrews who
married Sarah Couch and had several children. John Andrews
died in 1683. Bethiah, his wife, is believed to have outlived her
husband. She probably died before Nov. 21, 1700.

Southampton of 350 acres of land in Middletown, Ct., bounded
North by Sergt. John Warner, South by Samuel Huberd, West
by Elizabeth Randal, East by undivided land, which was bought
of Elizabeth Randal, May 13, 1685." By Nov., 16S7, he had
returned to ?\Iiddletown. Savage says, though we know not on
what authority, that " he went to Carolina, but at the end of some
years came home poor and had a law suit with the other heirs
about the estate of his father." It is certain that he v.-as a resident
of Milford, Ct., from July, 1706, until after June, 1708, and that
in 1706 and 1707 he had a law-suit with his brothers-in-law Alex-
ander RoUo and David Robinson over the distribution of his
father's estate. The records of the Court of Assistants, Book II.,
pages 72-75, state that " i\Iay i, 1707, Joseph Kirby appeared to
prosecute his appeal." This appeal was taken by him from the
distribution of his father's estate by the Probate Court to the
Court of Assistants. In this suit Joseph Kirby appeared as his
own attorney and conducted his case before the Court. His ap-
peal was practically sustained, the original distribution made by
the Probate Court being somewhat changed. An interesting fact
connected with the records of this suit is that he is twice recorded
therein as " Joseph Kirby, Junior." That he was engaged in the
practice of the law at this time is shown both by the circumstance
that he appeared in the suit as his own attorney and by the record
of his adm.ission to the bar in 1709, under the law of 1708. In May,
1708, a law was enacted by which attorneys must be formally ad-
mitted to practice in the courts of law. The earliest admitted
attorneys of Hartford County and of the State were Richard Ed-
wards of Hartford and Roger Wolcott of Windsor. Captain John
Wadsworth and Captain Thomas Wells were also admitted in 1708.
The following year five others were admitted. Among these was
" Joseph Kirby, Jr. of Middletown — the latter being the first one
from his township." (" Memorial History of Hartford County,
Ct.," Vol. I., p. 120.) In the County Court Records is the follow-

Capt. Joseph Wadsworth, Capt. Aaron Cook and Thomas Olcott
(son of Samuel Olcott, dec'd) of Hartford, Samuel Moore of
Windsor and Joseph Kirby of Aliddletown were admitted and
approved by the Court to be attorneys at the bar of this court,
and each of them respectively now took the attorney's Oath pro-
vided by law."
Joseph Kirby married (i), Dec. lO, i6Si, in Wethersfield, Ct.,
Sarah Markham. The name of his first wife is so given in the
manuscript copy of the Kirby genealogy made in 1818, and pub-
lished in 1890 under the title of " Kirby Family." In the records
of Wethersfield, published in the N. E. Gen. Register, Vol. XVIIL,
page 226, the name of his wife is given as " Sarah Mackoon."
But in the original Town Records the name is plainly written
" Markcoon," and it seems more probable that such spelling in-
dicates the family of 2vIarkcom (as iSIarkham was then sometimes
written), than that of ^McCoon. It is certain that there were I\Iark-
hams living at that time in the Connecticut valley, while it is not
known that there Vv^ere any living there by the name of McCoon.
William iMarkham owned land in ]\Iiddletown, which he deeded
to Robert Warner in 1664. He married (i) Priscilla Graves,
daughter of George Graves of Hartford, by whom he had a daugh-
ter Priscilla, and perhaps another daughter, for when he removed
to Hadley in 1659 he left a daughter by his first wife with her
grandparents. (See Will of Nathaniel Ward of Hadley, Mass.)
There were Graves living in Wethersfield who were relatives of
his first wife, and this may account for the marriage of Sarah
Markham to Joseph Kirby taking place in Wethersfield. Daniel
Markham (whose father, Daniel, born 1618, was cousin to Will-
iam) was also in Middletown about this tim.e. He was a deacon
and a man of consequence; and a grandson of Joseph and Sarah
Kirby was named Daniel, perhaps after Deacon Daniel Markham..
Much effort has been expended in the endeavor to obtain sor^e
clue to the ancestry of the first wife of Joseph Kirby, but without
result. The date of her birth and death and the place of her burial
are unknown; and so her parentage, and even her nam.e, mu.st be
left in obscurity. He married (2), Oct. 17, 1704, in New Haven,
Ct., Mary Plum, daughter of John Plum of Milford, Ct., and Eliza-
beth Norton. The date of her death is not known, but she out-
lived her husband.
[John Plum of Milford, Ct., bapt. Aug. 12, 1646; d. March,
1728, at iMilford. Ct., was the son of Robert Plum (b. 1618, son
of John of Wethersfield and Branford), one of the original set-

ried, Dec. 19, 1717, at Milford, Ct., Benoni Stebbins, born 16S9,
son of Benoni Stebbins of Northampton and Deerfield, Mass.,
who was killed by the French and Indians at Deerfield, ]\Iass.,
1704. After his father's death he removed to New Haven, and
then to New Milford, Ct., where he became an influential man
and a large landholder. He had five slave children baptized. In
his will he gave land for the benefit of a free school in New ^^lil-
ford village. He died in New Milford, Nov. 14, 1758, in the
seventieth year of his age. Mar}' (Kirby) Stebbins, his widow,
died " Feb. 17, 1771 in the 78th year of her age." They had no
children, but adopted a son and daughter, the first being a nephew
of Mrs. Stebbins. The adopted daughter was Rebecca Herrick,
daughter of Thomas Herrick, an Englishman who lost his wife
on tlie voyage to America in 1725, leaving two daughters, the
youngest not a year old. Mr. Stebbins, hearing that the latter
had been left at Stratford to be adopted, rode down to that place,
distant some forty miles, and brought her to New Milford, where
he had her baptized and adopted her. These adopted children
were :
i. Sanford Stebbins, b. Nov. 27, 1733, son of Nathaniel and
Bethia (Kirby) Sanford; d. April i, 1757, "beloved of
all men."
ii. Rebecca Herrick Stebbins, bapt. Feb. 14, 1726, dau. of
Thomas Herrick; m., Feb. 11, 1742, Gamaliel Baldwin,
b. Sept. II, 17 16, son of Samuel Baldwin and Sarah
Kirby. (See previous page.) The Giddings Genealogy
contains a romantic account of her marriage, taken from
the manuscript of her son-in-law Jonathan Giddings.
According to this account she was beloved by her adopted
brother, " who as he grew up with Rebecca became at-
tached to her, but she loved him only as a brother and
declined to marry him. This displeased Mr. Stebbins,
and also the mother of the young man, and report says
this was the cause of his not leaving her any of his prop-
erty." Since her adopted brother was only eight years
old at the time of her marriage, it is impossible to credit
the first part of the above statement. If Rebecca received
no part of her adopted father's estate, it is pleasant to
know, from the manuscript of Jonathan Giddings, that
she fared better at the hands of her own father. Thomas
Herrick died about 1778, leaving a handsome property
to be divided between her and her older sister; and she

added to the same, purchasing of his sisters their shares in the
estate of his father and lands also which formerly belonged to his
grandfather, John Kirby. He resided on or near his grandfatiicr's
homestead in that part of !Middletown called until 1S51 " Upper
Houses," and now the town of Cromwell, where he became a large
landholder and an influential man. His name is found in the list
of taxable persons in the Xorth Society, 171 5; and he was a mem-
ber of the Second Church, organized Jan. 5, 171 5. From the
tenor of his will it would appear that he was a careful and con-
scientious man, and given to detail and accuracy in buEincss. He
died in Middletown, Ct., April 25, 1760, aged sixty-nine. His
will, dated April 9, 1759, is given below; but, on account of its
great length, the careful details and repetitions are omitted:

in that part of ^liddletown now :Middlefield, Ct. His father died
three months prior to his birth. Before the end of his ninth year
his mother married Captain Samuel Burgis of Guilford, Ct., and
he removed with her to that place. He received a good common-
school education, supplemented by an academic course, and after-
ward taught in Durham Academy, Wells Grammar School _^at
Hartford, and elsewhere. In 1846 he removed to ^Ilddlel^eld, Ct.,
and settled upon the homestead of his father, and devoted himself
to farming and surveying. He made a survey and map of :Middle-
field, with the necessary post routes, which was used successfully
at Washington in securing the establishment of a post-office at
I^Iiddlefield. Later, when it was set oft as a town, in 1866, he was
chosen assessor. He was a selectman, justice of the peace, and
for more than thirty years deacon of the Congregational Church.
In 1S69 he was sent as representative to the General Assembly.
He was the county member of the State Board of Agriculture for
three years, from 1867 to 1869, and held the office of Pomologist
from 1872 until his death. In 1876 he was delegated by the State
Boaid of A^^nruirure to make a collection of Connecticut products
10." the Centennsal Exhibiiion a'. Philadelphia. This exhibit from
Connccric-J.t was regi^rdcd as ?rnong the very best in its excellence,
extent, ai.^ v.-: i-"tv."r;eing especially reniarkable for the great num-
ber of' fruits of Connec^-ut origin. He was also a Hfe member
of the Massachusetts Horticuiiural Sc :ietv, and Vice-President
for Connecticut of the American PomologiCdl ^nd Florticulturai
Societies. He was also a frequent contributor to the leacUng .-^-;' -
cultural publications. " This long period of service was marked
by a faithfulness and persistence that rested upon a feeling of love
and duty. Duty with him was a controlling principle of action.
He loved pomology, not only for its own sake in its material re-
lations to our health and happiness, but he saw there, in the beauty,
in the healthfulness, of its products the loving kindness of our
Heavenly Father. . He saw in this pursuit a great safeguard
against temptation, as offering pure happiness as far as earthly
conditions would allow." (T. S. Gold, Secretary Connecticut
Board of Agriculture.)
Mr. Augur took an active part in all matters of public interest
or improvement, and endeavored to promote sentiment on the
right side of public issues. He was a strong anti-slavery man,
and at several different times sheltered and aided fugitive slaves
in their escape for freedom. He always abstained from the use
of intoxicants, and was a staunch advocate of temperance reform.

44, Emily ^ Kirby (Abner'^, Joseph*, John^, Joseph^, John^),
baptized Nov. 19, 1803, in New Haven, Ct., was married, Nov.
26, 1823, at New Haven, Ct., by the Rev. Dr. Harry Croswell, to
Francis Lister Hawks. After four years of married hfe at the
South, she died, in New Haven, Ct., July 12, 1827, aged twenty-
three years. Francis L. Hawks, born June 10, 179S, in Newbern,
N. C, was the second son of Francis Hawks and JuHa Stephens,
daughter of Richard Stephens of Ireland. His grandfather, John
Hawks, came to North Carolina with Governor Tryon; they were
warm personal friends in the old country, and they determined
to share their fortunes in the new. He was educated as a lawyer,
and it was while studying law at Litchfield, Ct., that he met his
first wife, Emily Kirby, then visiting a friend at that place. In
1821, and before his first marriage, he was a member from New-
bern of the North Carolina Assembly, where he attracted atten-
tion by his matchless eloquence. " Perhaps no orator ever pos-
sessed so wonderful a voice. It was pure, flexible, and perfect
in tone, from the highest to the lowest possible human note.
With his magical voice and action there was, too, a noble com-
plement in the vivid thought of the speaker. He did not linger
long enough at the bar to win its highest honors; but in holy
orders, which he was shortly to assume, he became national in his
fame." (" History of North Carolina," by John \V. Moore, \'ol.
L, p. 487.) His heart was not really in the legal profession, and
his young wife's declining health may have been the determining
cause of his change of vocation. He resolved to become a candi-
date for orders in the Episcopal Church, and studied theology
with Rev. William Mercer Greene, afterward Bishop Greene, tie
was ordered Deacon some time in 1827 by Bishop Ravenscroft,
and afterward Priest by the same.
During his wife's last illness at New Haven he had become
acquainted with her minister, the Rev. Harry Croswell, and the
latter now urged him to become his associate. He accepted this
invitation, and on April 25, 1829, he became assistant Rector of
Trinity Church, New Haven, Ct. This position he resigned, not
long after, to become Professor of Theology in Washington Col-
lege (now Trinity College, Hartford). From this position he was
soon called to become Rector of St. James' Church in Philadelphia,
and the following year was called to New York City. He was
Rector of the Church of St. Stephen, and then of St. Thomas, in
New York City, from 1831 until 1843; o^ Christ Church, New
Orleans, La., 1844-49; of Calvary Church, New York City, 1849-

turned to New York City, where he died Sept. 27, 1866. Dr.
Hawks was thrice nominated, or elected, Bishop. At the General
Convention of 1835 the House of Bishops nominated him Mis-
sionary Bishop of Louisiana and of the Territory of Arkansas
and Florida. The nomination was concurred in by the House of
Deputies, but Dr. Kav/ks declined the nomination. He was
elected Bishop of Mississippi by the committee of that diocese,
but in the General Convention of 1844 opposition was made; the
opposition was withdrawn, but Dr. Hawks declined to be a candi-
date. In 1852 he was elected Bishop of Rhode Island, but de-
clined the position. His second wife was Mrs. Olivia (Trowbridge)
Hunt of Danbury, Ct., by whom he had six children.

46. George® Kirby (Hezekiah^ Joseph*, John^ Joseph^
John^), born Feb. 24, 1791, in Middletowai " Upper Houses."
He resided first in Great Barrington, Mass., where his first child
was bom. In 1814 he removed to Nichols, Tioga County, N. Y.,
then a new settlement. He was a shoemaker and tanner, and
labored industriously in his calling until a few years before his
death. In his latter years he was very deaf, not having heard it
thunder for many years. He married, in 18 12, Frances Potter,
born April 16, 1795, daughter of Job Potter of Alford, },Iass., and
Mary Bradley.
The following account of his singular marriage with Miss Pot-
ter has been furnished by ]Mrs. Jennie H. Ryan of Denver, Col.,
a granddaughter of George Kirby's only sister, Lucretia. " Dur-
ing a terrible New England snowstorm two or three coaches met
at a farmhouse in the Berkshire Hills and were forced to stay
until the storm abated. While the hospitable host and hostess
did their utmost to entertain the elder guests, the younger ones
were beguiled by the host's troop of rosy-cheeked daughters to
play games and have a merry time generally. When all the games
had been played, someone proposed a mock marriage. After a
little discussion, they agreed to draw lots to see who should be
the participants. The lots fell to George Kirby and Fanny Potter,
both of whom had entered into the spirit of the evening with a
keen zest; and they, notwithstanding they had never met before
that night, announced themselves as ready and only waiting for
a clergyman. One and another offered their services, but no one
was able to remember the ceremony. Finally a ' seedy individual '

was procured from some place, who knew the ceremony only too
well, and they were soon pronounced man and wife amid the
shouts and laughter of their gay companions. As soon as the
storm broke the travellers proceeded on their way. But the sur-
prise and indignation of all parties can better be imagined than
described on receiving notice that the marriage was legal and
binding. The 'seedy individual' was a magistrate! George
Kirby, who was engaged to marry a very dear friend of his only
sister, found himself in a very awkward position, and Miss Potter
equally so. Consultation after consultation v;as held. Mr. Potter
used all his influence to have the marriage set aside but to no
avail. Divorces were not granted without a cause in those days,
and the grim New England laws knew no such word as ' fun.'
So they wisely made the best of a bad matter, and were man and
wife in earnest as they had been in fun." George Kirby died Jan.
I, 1864, in Nichols, N. Y. Frances, his widow, died there April
5, 1872.

" Five hundred people gathered at the Kirby homestead, Charlton, N. Y.,
Oct. I, 1885, to celebrate the centennial anniversary of its settlement by
Deacon Seth Kirby. Deacon Kirby came from Connecticut with his
young wife and founded the homestead a mile north of Charlton village,
this locality being at that time a dense forest. Like other pioneers, he
erected a rude log cabin for a home and began the work of clearing away
* The Treat Genealogy, p. 40, gives only one daughter of Isaac Treat
named Olive, and states that she died young. But that Isaac Treat had a
second daughter named Olive is evident from the fact that, April 28, 1770,
Olive Treat signs deed of Elisha Treat, son of Isaac; and that this daughter
married Seth Kirby is shown by a comparison of the deed of Oct. 14, 1765,
to Lucy Treat, daughter of Isaac, with that of Seth Kirby, and Olive his
wife, dated March 17, 1785. to Samuel Treat, son of Isaac. (Glastonbury

the forest. His labors in this arduous task extended over 200 acres, which
,he afterward divided between his two sons. Captain Seth Kirby and Major
Thomas Kirby, the latter inheriting the present Kirby homestead. The
first frame house, whicli was erected in Charlton by Deacon Kirby, is still
standing, and is used as a barn. He also erected the mansion, which has
been rebuilt by the present owner, Colonel F. D. Curtis, who married the
younger of the two daughters of Major Thomas Kirby. There are some
notable features about the place, evidences of the thrift and enterprise of
Deacon Kirby and his sons, such as grand old trees, which tower far above
the house; a charming elevation on which the house stands, which was
all made for the purpose; a well-preserved fourscore orchard, still bearing
the best fruits of olden times, drains receiving and discharging the surplus
waters; and every foot of fence on the old farm made of stone cleared !rom
the land. The healing comfrey and the necessary hop-vine planted by
Aunt Jude, a slave woman on the farm, who was made free by Deacon
Kirby, every year rem.ind the present owner of a history in New York now-
recalled but by a few, when slavery existed. It is not necessary perhaps
to say that the Kirby homestead is now known world-v.-ide as the home
of an agricultural v.riter (Colonel F. D. Curtis). Mr. John F. Kirby and
Mrs. Hewitt received the numerous guests and welcomed them to the
home of their fathers. Rev. J. D. Fulton, of Brooklyn, N. Y., made the
opening address. Mr. John F. Kirby spoke in a most appropriate and
feeling manner of his ancestors and his boyhood days, and Colonel F. D.
Curtis closed the speaking. A large number of the guests dined at the
homestead, and in the evening the young people finished the festivities of
the day with music and dancing."

58. John^ Kirby (Seth^ John*, John\ Joseph^ John^, born
June 30, 17S3, in that part of Middletown which is now the town
of BerHn, Ct. He removed with his parents in 1785 to Charlton,
N. Y., where his early Hfe was spent on the farm of his father.
He entered Union College in 1803, and graduated in 1807, dis-
tinguished as a scholar and respected as a man. After leaving
college, he taught a year in the Academy at Aurora, N. Y., and
was afterward a tutor in Union College from 181 1 to 181 5,
Meanwhile he had studied theology, with the intention of entering
the ministry; and in the autumn of 181 5 he went to Newbury,
Mass., to preach as a candidate. He was ordained, June 12, 1816,
pastor of the church in the Third Parish of Newbur>' (now the
Second Church of West Newbury), to succeed Dr. Leonard
Woods, who had been called to Andover Theological Seminary.
" Mr. Kirby was predisposed to a disease of the lungs, and his
health demanding a change, he left Newbury on Oct. 18, 1818,
for his father's house in New York. By the urgent advice of his
physician, he at length decided to journey to a more Southern
climate, and sailed from New York on Dec. i, 1818, for Charles-
ton, S. C. The vessel was driven ashore upon Ocracoke bar, off
the coast of North Carolina, on the night of Dec. 5, 1818. After
the vessel was aground, the waves broke over her continually.
In this hour of distress and danger the conduct of 'Mr. Kirby was
perfectly calm. He employed himself in exhorting the men to
trust in Christ, and while engaged in prayer was washed over-
board. Mr. Kirby was rather distinguished for good sense and
a sound judgment than for quickness of thought and brilliancy
of imagination. As a public speaker, when he first commenced
preaching, owing, it is supposed, to bodily debility and mental
depression, there was a want of animation in his manner. He
soon mended in this respect, however; and if he never became,
strictly speaking, very eloquent, there was in his appearance such
an evidence of sincerity, and such solemn engagedness, as recom-
mended him to the consciences of the people, and deservedly
ranked him among the most acceptable and interesting preachers.
Mr. Kirby is remembered to this day with great affection and
respect by the older people of the parish. He was never married.
He published one sermon, preached at the Dedication of the Meet-
ing House in the Second Parish in West Newbury, January 3,

Tributar>- to the memory of the Rev. John Kirby, ordained June, 1816,
preached in the Third Parish in Newbury, and was shipwrecked on Ocra-
coke Bar, near Charleston, S. C, to w^hich place he was going for his health.
Ah! te meae ripartem animas rapit.
Maturior vis, quid moror altera.
Nee corus scque nee superstes
Integer.
Kirby, 'twas thine religion's cause to plead.
And, by thy skilful efforts, to succeed.
In thee, as in thy jMaster, men might view
At once the precept and the pattern too.
Dark speculation's mysteries thou didst drop:
Careful to know, yet conscious where to stop,
Consistent, holy, tender, meek, sincere,
Vice had thy mild rebuke, and grief thy tear,
But, oh, thy useful labors now are o'er:
That tongue that warned us once shall warn no more.
What tears of love and reverence have been shed,
Since the cold billows closed around thy head!
.Go, parting spirit, mingle with the blest;
Dear modest brother, go and be at rest; —
If Jesus loveliness in John could see.
Resembling him, to heaven he welcomes thee.

In all the conveyancing ]Mr. Kirby devised simple, log-ical, and
exact modes of describing lands, making his descriptions new
and original and free from complication. This improvement
saved infinite trouble and loss of time, and has had a good effect
upon the land records of Cincinnati. His care in perfecting titles
inspired confidence in those connected with him in business, and
this circumstance, together with the banking business which he
also carried on, enabled him to speedily amass a fortune. He
died June lo, 1876, in Cincinnati, O., leaving an estate worth
between two and three millions.
Timothy Kirby married, Feb. 11, 1826, in Clermont. O., Amelia
(Metcalf) Hare, born 1804, daughter of John Metcalf of Virginia,
and widow of John Hare. She died Jan. 2, 1867.
From Mr. Kirby's autobiography in " Cincinnati, Past and
Present," published 1872, have been taken the following passages
illustrative of his tastes and character:
In a literary way I make no pretensions, although always a student, ^^y
preferences have generally been for scientific books, and works giving facts
and useful knowledge. I have always taken great interest in geolog}-,
and twenty years ago I matured my theory of north and south currents
sufficiently to prepare an article on the subject for SilHman's Journal of
Science; but the editor rejected my article as taking untenable ground.
All known facts, and subsequent discoveries, tend decisively in my opinion
to confirm my views, then written out, as correct and true. Indeed nothing
short of a system of north and south currents in the oceans, during all past
time, could have laid down such immense depths of stratified rocks. The
great public, however, care verv- little about matters of this sort. I found
that out in my project of boring an A.tesian well, beginning in the Cincin-
nati Valley and going down five hundred and fifty feet, which added to the six
hundred feet above, to the level of the surrounding country, makes a total
depth through the stratified rocks of the Cincinnati valley of over eleven
hundred feet. To my appreciation I discovered things of the utmost Inter-
est to the public, but the public did not think so, and my Artesian well has
never fceen commended by any one of the thirty newspapers of the city,
nor have I been thanked for making the expenditure, or requested to write
out a detail of the strata passed through.
My zeal has probably outrun my discretion on the subject of the manu-
facturing interests of the country, which I have always believed Congress
should protect by a stringent tariff, or by non-intercourse in the way of
imports. And I have devoted a great deal of time to talking and writing on
our side of the question, as I have always considered the free trade side as
the side of the foreign enemy. Whether my efforts have done any good
I am not sure, but I think they have; and. if so, I am well repaid. Helping
to put down the false dogma that the people gain by having their work done
in a foreign country, has been an agreeable task to me.

My connection with the land business of Cincinnati has drawn my atten-
tion, during a long series of years, to the street improvements of the city.
From an early day it was the general practice to elect as Street Commis-
sioners, men the least adapted to the office of improving streets; and the
result was, miserable street pavements, detestable ditch gutters, and
wretched curb-stones, so put as to topple over. From time to time as I
could do so I made efforts to introduce better plans, verbally and by news-
paper articles. I pressed the Philadelphia plan of sloped curb-stones and
right angled gutters, and pavements laid tlat from curb to curb. It is most
astonishing to me to look back at the perverse obstinancy of the Street
Boards in resisting so simple a plan for so many years. They seemed to
take delight in tearing up some squares I had paved on the right plan
twenty years before, and putting in their detestable ditch gutters. But
now the new pavements are admirable, and I give the late Boards full
credit for the improvement.
I am now an old man, and consider there is no egotism in writing in
ilthough at earlier periods I was sufficiently retir-
i. From the time I went to work in the factor>- I

V life has passed for nearly sixty years without
gain and success.
As to my family, I was married to Amelia Metcalf Hare, widow of John
Hare, February ii, 1826. My wife was six years younger than I. She was
the daughter of John Metcalf of Clermont County, Ohio. We lived happily
together a great many years, and she was an excellent woman. We had
eight children, of whom only four survive. My v/ife died January 2, 1867.

town "Upper Houses;" married, Dec, 1836, Jerusha Emily
Gilbert, born Nov. 5, 1809, in Easton, Ct., daughter of Ezra Gil-
bert and Rebecca :^linor of Colebrook, Ct. He studied at Monson
Academy, Monson, ISIass., and was nearly fitted to enter Yale
College when an urgent call went out from the missionary house
in Boston for teachers for the Sandwich Islands, whereupon he
gave up further study and offered himself to the American Board
as a teacher for these islands. Soon after there was a call for a
principal for the boys' seminary in Persia, and Mr. Stocking was
chosen to fill this position. In Jan., 1837, he was set apart as a
missionary teacher to the Nestorians, and went with his wife to
Oroomiah, Persia. He was for a while the principal of the boys'
seminary, but soon took charge of the village schools, and kept
that work as long as he lived in Persia. He was also the treasurer
of the mission for fourteen years. Having preached for some
time in the village churches in the native language, and in an
acceptable manner, he was ordained, April 18, 1841, in the Nes-
torian Church of St. Mary in the city of Oroomiah, by a,n ecclesi-
astical council consisting of the other missionaries. He seldom
preached in the English language, saying, when asked, that he
was ordained to preach in Syriac. He returned to Am.erica in the
autumn of 1853, intending to return in two years, but died April
30, 1854, in New York City, and was buried in Colebrook, Ct.
Mrs. Jerusha Gilbert Stocking graduated from the Hartford
Female Seminary, and taught in 2\Iiddletown " Upper Houses,"
where she met her future husband. Immediately after her mar-
riage she went to Persia, where she remained seventeen years,
one year of that time being spent on the outward and homeward
journey — six months each v.-ay. She had v.-anted to become a
missionary from her childhood, and was always very much de-
voted to the missionary cause. She died June 28, 1892, in Ala-
meda, Cal. Her granddaughter writes: "She lived with us the
last seven years of her life. She was the sv/eetest, most unselfish
woman I ever saw. Everyone who knew her loved her. She
seemed to create a heavenly atm.osphere everyv/here she went."

Smith and others which are not found upon record, as I received
them from their parents by their famines." is found under " John
Kirby's children " the following entry: " Jonathan Kirby, Bapt'd
by Mr. Mix." (Mr. Mix is undoubtedly the Rev. Stephen ]\lix,
pastor of the church at Wethersfield, Ct., 1693- 1738. Rev.
Joseph Smith died Sept. 8, 1736, and the neighboring pastors
officiated until the coming of his successor, the Rev. Edward
Eells, who was ordained Sept. 6, 1738.) He inherited the Kirby
homestead in that part of ■Sliddletown which is now the western
part of the town of Cromwell, together with the meadows and
upland adjoining, " in the lot that was his great-grandfather's,"
and lived there until his death.
He w^as an ardent patriot, and saw active service as a minute-
man during the War of the Revolution. His granddaughter, Mrs.
Sarah J. (Stowe) Ashton, gave to the compiler the following ac-
count of his Revolutionary services, which she received from her
mother, Lucy Kirby Stowe: " During the Revolutionary War,
Jonathan Kirby was one of the minute-men, and kept a horse in
the stable, with saddle and bridle near, to be ready at once. His
wife had his saddle bags packed, and any time she saw him coming
quickly toward the house she brought them out and put up a lunch
for him. He was at Guilford when the British came in there, also
at New London when Benedict Arnold burned the town, and at
other places which I have forgotten."
Jonathan Kirby married, March i, 1769, Lucy Burgis, born
Oct. 13, 1742, daughter of Thomas Burgis of Guilford, Ct., and
Hannah Dodd. She was " a woman of personal attractions, win-
ning manners and great energy of character," She died Feb.
28, 1817, aged seventy-four years. He died May 5, 1782, " in
the 46th year of his age " (gravestone). His death was caused
by a fall from the barn scaffold, resulting in brain fever. Chil-

Association,' or Illinois Band, as it afterward came to be called.
The Rev. J. M. Ellis was at that time trying to plant an institu-
tion of learning in Jacksonville, 111., and correspondence with
him led them to unite their efforts with his. The result was
Illinois College." (" Asa Turner and His Times," p. 60.)
Having completed his theological studies, he was ordained
March 22, 1831, in Guilford, Ct., and immediately proceeded to
Jacksonville, 111., where he entered temporarily upon the work of
teaching in Illinois College. In this situation he continued two
years, during which time his constitution experienced, from the
constant confinement and exhausting labors of the school-room,
and from obstinate and protracted attacks of intermittent fever,
a shock from which it never entirely recovered. The state of his
health, as well as his constantly cherished intention of preaching
the Gospel, led him to seek the work of the ministry.
In the spring of 1833 he commenced his labors as a preacher
and pastor with a Presbyterian Church at Union Grove, Putnam
County, 111. The elements of discord between the Old School
and the New School parties, which at that time were rife every-
where in the Presbyterian churches, were active in the church at
Union Grove, and at the end of a year he sought another field
of labor at Elackstone's Grove, Will County, 111. " Here Mr.
Kirby and his family had an experience of the hardships of
frontier missionary life, such as has fallen to the lot of few even
of the pioneers in the Home ^Missionary enterprise. His people
were a community of farmers, the most prosperous of whom
had hardly been a year and a half upon their farms. To supply
a family regularly with such a necessity as wheat flour was out of

the question. A bushel of corn meal made a family feel rich.
Mr. Kirby had the privilege of buying corn, at a distance of eight
miles from his residence, for $1.50 a bushel, provided he would
be at the trouble of shelling it for himself. In the circumstances
it was considered a privilege to be thus supplied. He might then
carry his corn eight miles in another direction to mill. Unable
to get it ground on the day on which he carried it, he might re-
turn to his home, eight miles distant, and go again a journey of
eight miles and back for his meal, and when he reached home
rejoice with his fam.ily in the possession of so rich a treasure.
His nearest post office was Chicago, at a distance of twenty-eight
miles." (From the published " Sermon Commemorative of the
Life and Labors of the Rev. William Kirby," by J. M. Sturte-
vant, D.D.)
The Rev. Flavel Bascom of Illinois related to the compiler the
following account of some of the difficulties attending the lot of
Mrs. Kirby while a home missionary's wife at Elackstone Grove:
" In 1834 I removed to Illinois with my young wife, and visiied
Mr. Kirby to consult with him as to the place where I had better
begin my missionary work. I found him living in a little cabin
at Blackstone's Grove. We were cordially welcomed by ]\Ir. and
Mrs. Kirby, and the latter began to prepare dinner for us. I
remember that she made some biscuits and set them to bake in
a Dutch oven before a rude fireplace built in the open air. The
pigs, which were running wild, ran against the oven and scat-
tered the half-baked biscuits over the prairie. Mrs. Kirby with
admirable good nature rolled out another batch of biscuits, and
late in the afternoon we sat down to an acceptable dinner."
After enduring these hardships and labors for about a year
and a half, Mr. Kirby, who was a trustee of Illinois College and
deeply interested in its welfare, sought a field of labor nearer
Jacksonville, 111., and became pastor of the church at Mendon,
III., in May, 1836. The month previous to his settlement at
Mendon, in company with the Rev. Asa Turner of Ouincy, 111.,
he visited the " Black Hav.k purchase," as the eastern part of the
present State of Iowa was then called. They crossed the ^^lissis-
sippi at Warsaw, 111., and proceeded up the river as far as Daven-
port. " On the journey of discovery Mr. Kirby preached at
Farmington, or Burlington, the first Congregational sermon in
Iowa." They recrossed the Mississippi at Davenport, and pro-
ceeded dovxu the east side of the river. In a letter the Rev. Mr.
Turner relates their subsequent journey as follows: " I crossed

the river and made my way down the East side, forded the wider
part of Rock River, and as the water was deep got quite wet.
The sun was just going down as I got to the South bank. There
was a house nine miles below which I hoped to find, and with it
supper and bed, but missed my way — took the dragoon trace,
with the moon as my guide, keeping the right hand of this and
struck the timber in the morning opposite the mouth of the Iowa
River forty miles from my fording place. The log cabin we
found in the timber was about twelve feet square. There were
sixteen in it already, but a log cabin in those days was never full.
The woman had three in her bed, and two in a bed supported by
sticks driven into augur holes in the wall. She got up and took
one child off the floor to her bed and the other to the patent bed-
stead, to make room for brother Kirby and myself to lie on the
floor. Brother Kirby went down on the Illinois side." (" Asa
Turner and His Times," pp. 170, 171.)
Mr. Kirby was a delegate to the first Anti-Slavery Convention
held in Illinois, which assembled at Upper Alton, Oct. 26, 1837,
only a few days before the murder of the Rev. E. P. Lovejoy,
and took a prominent part in its proceedings. He was chairman
of the comimittee on resolutions, and a member of the committee
that drew up the Constitution of the State Anti-Slavery Society,
which was formed at this convention.
Intimately associated with Mr. Turner in the beginning of
Congregationalism in Iowa, Mr. Kirby continued to take a lively
interest in the new Congregational churches in that Territory.
When, in 1840, a convention was held in Denmark, la., to or-
ganize an " Association of Congregational Churches in and for
the Territory of Iowa," he was one of the three ministers who
came as delegates from Illinois to assist in the organization of
the new Association. In 1845 he resigned his charge at Mendon,
111., and entered upon the general agency of the American Home
Missionary Society, at first for the whole State, and subsequently
for the central and southern portions of Illinois. In this agency
he spent the remainder of his life, and in the midst of its active
and laborious duties he died. He died of pneumonia, Dec. 20,
1 85 1, at Winchester, 111.
Rev. William Kirby married, Nov. 28, 1832, at Jacksonville,
111., Hannah McClure Wolcott, born June 7, 18 11. at East Wind-
sor, Ct., daughter of Elihu Wolcott and Rachel McClure. Han-

of the firm during the Civil War, he engaged in the pork-packing
and conmiission business. He was a well-known member of the
Merchants' Exchange of St. Louis, and one of the founders of
the Merchants' Exchange Mutual Benefit Association. He was
a member of the Second Presbyterian Church of St. Louis, and
was active in its work during its early history. He died Dec. 27,
1896, in St. Louis, Mo., in his eighty-first year, from an abscess
in the ear, aggravated by exposure while on a hunting expedition.
The following resolutions of respect were adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Merchants' Exchange of St. Louis in memory
of Mr. E. B. Kirby:
" Language cannot do justice to the memory of E. B. Kirby, the
granjd old man who represented a class of men fast becoming ex-
tinct. Brave, self-reliant, temperate in all his habits, well edu-
cated, a close thinker; a .persistent, aggressive man in the per-
formance of all the duties of life; the courage of a lion when
opposed; warm-hearted and generous to a fault; thoroughly
honest in all his dealings; a steadfast Christian; patriotic almost
to a craze; an honest politician; a pure-minded man; a good
husband, father, and citizen; a progressive and energetic mer-
chant; a loyal member of the Exchange — he was an honor to his
race, and his death leaves a void hard to replace, and all who
knew him mourn.
"Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with his bereaved wife

AN ACCOUNT OF SOME OF THE DESCEND-
ANTS OF JOSEPH KIRBY OF HARTFORD
CONNECTICUT
1. Joseph^ Kirby of Hartford, Ct. All that is positively known
concerning him is derived from the gravestone erected to the mem-
ory of his great-grandson, Abraham Kirby of Middlebury, Ct.
(See page 169.) From the inscription upon this gravestone we
learn that he came from Warwickshire, England, to Xew England,
early in the seventeenth century, and was at Hartford, Ct., about
the time of its first settlement. His name, however, does not
appear upon the records of Hartford, Ct., and it is probable that
he soon removed elsewhere.
According to the tradition preserved by his descendants, a
brother emigrated with him to New England. They fled from
persecution, and their estates in England were forfeited. Tradi-
tion usually has little genealogical value, but in this instance it
seems confirmed by the discovery that Joseph, the son of John
Kirby of Middletown, was known as Joseph Kirby, Jr. (See
Joseph, son of John Kirby of Middletown.) Since no other
Joseph Kirby can be found among the Kirbys in America prior
to the birth of Joseph Kirby, Jr., of Middletown, Ct, it is rea-
sonably presumed that the latter was named Joseph, and called
"Junior," after Joseph Kirby of Hartford. Moreover, John
Kirby of Middletown also came from Warwickshire in England,
and was likewise at Hartford, Ct, near the time of its settlement.
It is therefore reasonable to conclude that they were brothers.
The name of only one child of Joseph Kirby of Hartford, Ct.,
has been preserved:
2. i. John Kirby.
2. John' Kirby (Joseph^). Nothing is positively known of him,
except that he was the son of Joseph of Hartford and the father
of Roger Kirby of Woodbury, Ct. According to the Sage gcneal-

viously of Hartford, had a daughter Mary born about 1644, and
since his widow, Elizabeth, married Abraham Randall oi Windsor,
Ct., it has hitherto been supposed that the above record was a late
and blundering addition. But if this record be accurate, then the
Mary born April, 1653, must be regarded as the daughter (and
probably the eldest child, as the form of the entry indicates) of
John Kirby, the son of Joseph of Hartford, by wife Elizabeth
Randell. The " W'ethersfield Town Records " state that Samuel
Dcming married, March 29, 1694, Sarah, daughter of John Kirby.
" The Genealog}' of the Treat Family," page 32, states that she
was the daughter of John Kirby of ]\liddletown, Ct., and " Kirby
Family," 1890, states that she niarried Samuel Deming after the
death of her first husband, Samuel Hubbard; but both are in error,
Samuel Hubbard died in 1732, aged 84 years. Sarah Kirby, wife
of Samuel Deming, may be regarded, therefore, as the daughter
of John Kirby, the son of Joseph of Hartford. Children:
i. Sarah Kirby, b. ; m., Ivlarch 29, 1694, Samuel Dem-
ing of Wcthersfield, Ct., b. 1646, son of John Deming of

Washington green, and is known to this day as the " Kirby farm."
The cellar where the house of Roger Kirby stood still exists, and
it was in this house that his grandson, the Hon. Ephraim Kirby,

two sons, Abraham and Joseph, and seems to have resided there-
after at Litchfield, Ct. He died June 12, 1793, aged 95 years, at
Milton, Ct, while on a visit to that place, and was buried in the
Milton cemetery. His wife's name was Martha, but of her parents
nothing is known. By her he had four children, born in Wood-

apple-trees in a boat from Pittsford, and planted the second orchard
in town. While bringing the trees down the Otter River, he ran

and family, who Hved with him in the house he had erected. He
was niade a deacon of the Congregational Church, and the " His-

[Starkweather Lineage:
L Robert Starkweather of Roxbury, Mass., was a native of
Wales. He was at Boston in 1640, and afterward lived in Rox-
bury. In 1654 he sold his estate in Roxbury and removed to
Ipswich, Mass., where he died in 1674. He married Jennet Rob-
erts, daughter of John Roberts of Roxbury, by whom he had:
Elizabeth, b. 1643; Lydia, b. June 23, 1644; John, b. 1646;
Deborah, b. Aug. 27, 1648.
II. John Starkweather, only son of Robert, born 1646, in Rox-
bury, Mass. He removed with his father to Ipswich, where he
was pound-keeper in 1688, and his successor was appointed in
1693. He removed to Preston, Ct., before Aug., 1694, and there
soon became prominent; was selectman in 1698, and for the next
three years; was also deputy to the General Court of Connecticut
in 1702. He died Aug. 21, 1703, in Preston, Ct., and in September
of the same year the administration of his estate was granted to
his widow Ann and his son Robert. It is recorded at this time
that he left seven children: "Thomas aged 26, Timothy, John,
Robert, Richard, Mary, and Lydia aged 12." Children:
Thomas, b. about 1677; Timothy; John, b. Sept. 16, 1680; Robert,

he married, Dec. 28, 1708, Mary Herrick, b. 1691, daughter of
Ephraim and Judith Herrick of Preston, Ct. He removed again,
before 1720, to Stonington, Ct., and died in 1750 at Roxbury,
Mass. While passing through Roxbury on his way to Boston
on horseback with a drove of cattle, his horse stumbled and threw
him to the ground, causing injuries which resulted in his death in
a few minutes. His widow Mary was living in 1769. The " Con-
necticut Courant," under the date of Nov. 27, 1769, states that

of thirteen children; grandmother of eighty-seven; great-grand-
mother of seventy-six, and great-great-grandmother of one child
of the fourth generation — in all, one hundred and seventy-seven.
There are now living of the above number one hundred and fifty-

in the battle of Bunker Hill. In Dec, 1776, he enlisted again in
the Revolutionary army, and served as a cavalry soldier for about
two years. The published " Records of Connecticut Men in the
War of the Revolution," page 273, contain the following state-
ment of his personal appearance at this period: " Ephraim Kirby,

Brandywine, Germantown, and I^Ionmouth, and received thirteen
wounds. He was on the staff of General (Lord) SterUng at the
battle of Germantown, and there received seven sabre cuts on
the head from a British soldier, and was left on the field for dead.
These honorable scars he carried with him through life. It is
said that he lost a portion of his brain by one of these sabre cuts,
and for some time also lost his mind. Instantaneously his con-
sciousness and mind returned, when he exclaimed: "Where is
Eagle?" — the name of the horse he was riding when he was cut
down. He subsequently served as Lieutenant in a Rhode Island
company, and remained in the field until independence was
achieved. After the conclusion of the Revolutionary War he was
for seme time a student at Yale College, but did not graduate.
In 1787 he received the degree of A.M. from that institution. He
studied law in the ofhce of Judge Reynold ^.larvin, a patriotic
citizen of Litchfield, who had been King's Attorney, but had
resigned this office on the outbreak of the Revolutionary struggle,
and married his only daughter. While in the practice of law in
Litchfield, Ct., in 1789, he published " Reports of the Decisions
of the Superior Court and Court of Errors of the State of '
Connecticut, Litchfield, 1789." This was a novel undertaking,
being the first volume of reports ever published in this country.
It was executed v.ith faithfulness, judgment, and ability, and is
still regarded as authority in all our courts. The same year, 17S9,
he wrote the pledge and organized the first society for the pro-
motion of temperance ever formed in America. This pledge bears
the name of many who were prominent in the State.
In 1 791 Ephraim Kirby was for the first tim.e elected to repre-
sent the town of Litchfield in the State Legislature, a post of
honor and responsibility to which he was re-elected at thirteen
semi-annual elections. "As a legislator he was always distin-
guished for the dignity of his deportment, for his comprehensive
and enlightened views, for the liberality of his sentiments, and for
his ability and decision." During this time he was prominent
in business and military affairs. In 1795 he was one of the seven
directors of the company formed by Oliver Phelps of Windsor,
Ct., and others to purchase the remaining lands belonging to the
State of Connecticut in Ohio, known as the " Western Reserve."
He was also Colonel of the Seventeenth Regiment Connecticut
Militia, and was commonly known as " Colonel " Kirby.
On the election of Jefferson as President in 1801 he was ap-
pointed Supervisor of the National Revenues for the State of

Connecticut. About this period he was for several years the Re-
publican candidate for Governor of Connecticut, but failed of
election, the I'ederal party being too strong for the followers of
Jefferson. He was interested also in the Cincinnati Society, of
which he was an original member (Rhode Island), and was promi-
nent in Masonic circles. His library and sword are now held by
the Masonic Lodge of Litchfield, of which he was a member.
President JefYerson had contemplated offering him the office of
Postmaster General, but finally called Gideon Granger of Con-
necticut to that office. In 1803 he received from President Jeffer-
son the appointment as Commissioner for Settlement of Law
Claims in the territory east of Pearl River (^Mississippi). In 1804
he was appointed by Jefferson L'nited States Judge of the Supreme
Court for the territory of Orleans (Louisiana). Having accepted
the latter position, he set out for New Orleans, but was not des-
tined to reach that place. Having proceeded as far as Fort Stod-
dard in the Mississippi territory, he was taken sick, and died
there Oct. 20, 1804, at the early age of forty-seven, and when a
wide career of public usefulness seemed opening to him. His
remains were interred with the honors of war and other demonstra-
tions of respect.
" Colonel Kirby was a man of the highest moral as well as
physical courage, devoted in his feelings and aspirations, warm
and generous in his attachments, and of indomitable energy. He
was withal gentle and winning in his manners, kindly in his dis-
position, and naturally of an ardent and cheerful temperament,
although the last few years of his life were saddened by heavy
pecuniary misfortunes. He had acquired a handsome property
by his profession, but in an evil hour he employed an agent to
purchase for him a large tract of new land in Virginia. This agent
betrayed his trust, and by his dishonesty involved his employer in
almost hopeless insolvency. To be harassed by obligations which
he could not meet was, to an honorable man like Colonel Kirby,
a source of the keenest solicitude. He enjoyed the friendship of
many of the sages of the Revolution, the correspondence with
whom would form interesting material for the history of his time;
but, unfortunately, almost all was lost at sea, between New York
and St. Augustine, some twenty-five years ago. A few letters to
and from Prest. Jefferson only have been preserved." (" Litch-
field Biographies," pp. 103-110.)

spirited and generous to a fault. A I\Iajor in the Army of the
United States in 1812, in the absence of his Colonel, he com-
manded his regiment, the Twenty-third, in the invasion of Canada
in 1813. On the evening of the battle in which Generals Winder
and Chandler were taken prisoners, he was ordered to encamp
his regiment in the rear of the army in a deep ravine between
the hills near Forty ^SUle Creek. Considering the position bad,
he insisted upon a change, and, having received permission to do
so, moved his regiment late at night to the top of the hill near
the creek. This judicious movement saved his regiment, for he
had scarcely reached his new position when he was assailed by a
superior force of British and Indians. He, with his raw troops
—this being their first battle— held his position against repeated
attacks of the enemy, and by a rapid and successful charge at
daylight, seconded by the Fifth Regiment, drove back the enemy
and saved the army. For this action Major Smith was promoted
Lieutenant-Colonel and brevetted Colonel. Throughout the rest
of the campaign, and to the dose of the war, he was regarded
as one of the best and most efficient officers in the army. In
1819 he was induced to resign his commission, and was ap-
pointed by President ^Monroe United States Judge of the Su-
perior Court of Florida. So accurate was his judgment and so
thorough his knowledge of law that in over one thousand cases
decided by him prior to 1836 not a single decision had to be
reversed." Children:

DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH KIRBY
(published), entitled " Our Kirby Smith," by General John W.
P'uller, a fellow officer, and read before the Ohio Commandery
of the Loyal Legion in 1887, we take the following tributes to his
memory. General D. S. Stanley, in his official report of the battle
of Corinth, touch ingly refers to the death of General Kirby Smith
as follows: " 1 have not words to describe the qualities of this
model soldier, or to express the loss we have sustained in his death.
The best testimony I can give to his memory is the spectacle I
witnessed myself, in the very moment of battle, of stern, brave
men weeping like children as the word passed, ' Kirby Smith is
killed!'" General A. S. Williams speaks of him thus: "He
was my beau-ideal of a young man. There v.as a daily beauty in
his life that won the hearts of all who knew him. . . . He
was so capable, so brave, so self-reliant, without vanity; so pa-
tient and so persevering in the line of duty, that I looked con-
fidently for splendid services and rapid and well-earned advance-
ment." And General Fuller himself says: " He was a born
soldier, and gave promise of a brilliant career. He was more
than a soldier — he was a Christian. He never made a parade of
his religious ideas. No man ever saw in him the least particle
of cant. Yet in and through the soldier there shone forth in the
life of our Kirby Smith the evidence of that life which is eternal."

fence of the Government during the nulhfication excitement, and
from 1836 until May, 1838, he w as actively engaged in the Florida
war with the Seminole Indians, during which he contracted a
disease that shortened his life. The hardships which both himself
and his command endured in the Seminole war may be inferred
from the following extract from the unpublished diary of Major
Kirby kept by him during the winter of 1837-38:
" March 23, 1838. — Slept on board the steamer. Marched early.
Our route for three miles lay across the Pine Barrens. We then
emerged upon the border of the Everglades, which commences
with mud and soon changes to water and grass. We floundered
through this for one mile and a half and struck the trail of the
Indians. The water and mud was belly-deep to the horses. The
region before us, as far as the eye could reach, was an expanse
of grass and water, interspersed with clumps of small trees re-
sembling islands. The skirt on the mainland was a most dismal
and dense Cyprus swamp, the trees covered with waving moss.
In half an hour twenty boats came up. One company of horse
dismounted, and one remained in charge of those left. The men
were divided among the boats, putting their muskets and car-
tridge boxes in them, and marching each side and dragging the
boats. We followed the trail for seven hours, the men never less
than two feet deep in mud and water, often to the middle, and
sometimes taken in to the shoulders; yet they went on with spirit
and without complaint. At five o'clock we approached a large
island covered with pines, and discovered smoke. We were now
sure of our prey, and increased our exertions. Our approach
was concealed by the high grass which rose above our heads. We
closed upon the island at the north end. At the same time Cap-
tain Powell moved on to the attack on the west side of the island,
thus bringing the enemy between us. My march was through
high saw-grass and deep mud. I was once or tv;ice down in the
mud, and pulled out by two strong men whom I kept with me.
" When we got into the open ground, I endeavored to extend so
far as to turn the enemy's right, and then directed the whole for-
ward with the bayonet. I never saw a finer or steadier move-
ment on parade at eighty yards, and expected a sheet of fire from
the bushes in front. At this moment a cannon from the boats
opened, and the whole island resounded with the war-whoop,
and rifles on Powell's side. This inspired our men with fresh
vigor, and we dashed into the cover where we supposed the
Indians were in line; but, on seeing our force and the move of

approach, they fled up the island, passing my left before we could
fire. In five minutes we were in possession of their position. We
met in the camp Powell's command, which had landed on the
opposite side. Darkness had come on, and after our great fatigue
it was impossible to pursue. The next morning I marched with
the main body in pursuit upon the enemy's trail. At nine o'clock
1 received orders to retrograde. The men were too much broken
to hazard more, and our provisions would be out in twenty-four
hours. We took a nearer and more direct route, and arrived on
the main at 4 p.m. The boats were dragged three miles through
the same mud as before they entered the river, from whence it
w-as six miles to the camp, which we made at nine o'clock. Thus
was accomplished one of the most desperate expeditions attempted
during the war. It was a forlorn hope, for had we not defeated
the Indians not a man could have escaped to tell the tale."
From May to Aug., 1838, Major Kirby was engaged in the re-
moval of the Cherokee Indians beyond the r^Iississippi. After this
sen'ice he was transferred with his command to the northeastern
frontier, where he was intrusted with important and delicate duties
relating to the " Maine boundary line " dispute with Great Britain,
and for the manner in which he discharged this duty was com-
plimented by General Scott in general orders. He Vv^as trans-
ferred to the command of Fort Sullivan, near Eastport, Me.,
where, on Oct. 7, 1842, he died of pleurisy, the result of his ser-
vice in the Florida war.

v/as compelled to sell the estates that had been in the family for
upward of five hundred years. Upon these reverses, David, his
son, entered the army of Gustavus Adolphus, and soon rose to the
rank of Major. On the outbreak of the civil war in his native
land he returned home, and was Colonel of a regiment of horse
in the Scotch army. He was engaged in several responsible
stations in civil life, and was twice a member of Parliament.
(Sir Robert Gordon, the founder of the family of Gordon-
stoun in Morayshire, was the fourth son of Alexander Gordon,

cardineshire by Catherine, daughter of Sir Robert Gordon, born
Dec. 23, 1648, at Gordonstoun, Morayshire; died Oct. 3, 1690,
at Ury near Aberdeen in Kincardineshire; married, Feb., 1670,
Christian, daughter of Gilbert and Margaret MoUison. He was
educated at the Scotch college in Paris, of which his uncle was
rector. In 1667 he embraced the principles of the Society of
Friends, and became one of its ablest expounders. He published
several treatises in defence of its doctrines. His most important
work, " An Apology for the True Christian Divinity," published
in Latin in 1676, and translated into English in 1678, is remark-
able as the standard exposition of the principles of his sect, and
it is still the most important manifesto of the Friends. He was
imprisoned in 1676, but was released in April of the following
year, and joined William Penn and George Fox in a visit to Ger-
many. In 1682 a body of twelve Quakers, under the auspices
of his friend Penn, acquired the proprietorship of East Jersey in
North America, and the following year the Duke of York gave a
patent of the province to the proprietors, w^ho had added to the
body twelve associates, including Barclay. In July, 1683, he
was appointed by the proprietors Governor of East New Jersey,
with the right to appoint a deputy. (" History of New Jersey,"
by Samuel Smith, p. 167.) He was unwilling to leave his native
land, and only availed himself of the power with which he was
invested of sending a deputy. His brothers John and David
afterward went to settle there, but David died on the passage.
Governor Barclay left three sons and four daughters, all of whom
were living fifty' years after his death. His wife died Dec. 14,
1722, in her seventy-sixth year.
IV. David Barclay of London, son, is said to have been born
in 1674, and to have died in 1763, when nearly ninety years old.
He was a merchant of London, England, and was prominent as
a mercer in Cheapside, where he amassed considerable wealth. ^ It
is said that he entertained three kings of England in succession,
viz., George I., George II., and George HI.
V. David Barclay of Ayrshire, son, born 1725; died Dec. 15,
1803; married Mary Knox, a descendant of John Knox, the Scotch
reformer. She died Sept. 3, 1804. He acquired considerable

DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH KIRBY
40. Asahel Jones" Severance (Ebenezer Severance^, Mary
KirbyS Abraham*, Roger^, John-, Joseph^) of Denver, Col., was
born Dec. i, 1828, in Middlebury, V't. When twenty-one years
of age he removed to Oneida, N. Y., where, after serving a short
apprenticesliip in the carpenters' and joiners' trade, he engaged
in the manufacture of building and finishing material. In 1851
he returned to iMiddlebury, Vt., and, in company with his brothers,
entered into the building and lumber business in that city. About
1861 he turned his attention also to the marble business, and
opened the North Middlebury Marble Quarrj-. He built a large
mill for sawing marble, and for several years employed a hundred
men in supplying marble for buildings, monuments, etc. His
last and largest contract was for the marble, cut and ready to put
up, for the U. S. Post-office and the Court House at Portland,
Me. The contract required two years for its completion. The
fluted columns for these buildings were twenty-seven feet long,
each of one piece, weighed twenty tons before dressing, and
$10,000 was paid for carving the capitals. At the same time
he carried on a large lumber business at Mount Holly, Vt. His
health becoming impaired by close attention to these large enter-
prises, he visited California in 1868, and finally removed to that
State in 1870. Upon his return to California he took with him.
eleven car-loads of fine merino sheep in one train, the first, and
perhaps the only, through-train of sheep ever shipped to that
State. While in California he gave much time to the raising,
breeding, and importing from Vermont of Spanish merino sheep,
which greatly improved both the quantity and quality of wool
raised in the State. During his stay of nine years in California
he crossed the continent ten times and once by the Isthmus.
While engaged in the quarry business Mr. Asahel J. Severance
invented and patented the " diamond drill," now everywhere used
in boring wells and in mining — an invention which gives him
honorable rank among the foremost inventors of the age. When
in California he introduced the " diamond drill " into the famous
Comstock mines, and had the satisfaction of knowing that his
invention unlocked the largest deposit of the precious metal ever
found on this continent. In thirty-two months these mines pro-
duced and paid out $72,000,000 to the stockholders. He also,
while in that State, became largely interested in hydraulic mining,
and built one ditch for conveying water which cost him some
$115,000. In 1879, when the State of California passed a law
which prevented the miners from emptying their debris into the

the hotel which bore his name, May lo, 1844, aged seventy-three
years. The " Baltimore Sun," in the notice of his death, pays
the following tribute to his memory: "The career of Mr. Bar-
num has been one of active enterprise in the capacity which has
extended his name and reputation to all parts of the United States.
The ability with which he has fulfilled his duty as the host of
innumerable guests will find ample testimony from the multitude
to which it may be referred; while the urbanity of his manners,
the courteous dignity of his intercourse, and the unblemished
probity of his character combined to elicit the sincere regret of
his friends."
The same newspaper, in an article upon the death of Mrs. Ann
Kirby Barnum, says: "She was a younger sister of Colonel
Ephraim Kirby, who was conspicuous in New England during
the struggle for American Independence. In early life she mar-
ried the late David Barnum, well and favorably known as the
original proprietor of the hotel which has since borne his name.
Settling here, this estimable lady witnessed the progress of our
city from what would be regarded as an inconsiderable town to
a great commercial metropolis, and in all that pertained to the
advancement of Baltimore she ever took an ardent interest. Dur-
ing the many years since the death of the elder Mr. Barnum, his
widow has always m.ade the hotel her home, and perhaps it may
not be too much to say that in time past no lady was more ex-
tensively known or more universally respected in different parts
of the country than v/as Mrs. Barnum. Of a lively and social
disposition, with a heart given to kindness, and with a most re-
markable memory, that remained almost unimpaired nearly to
the hour of her death, Mrs. Banium made and retained the ac-
quaintance of many distinguished persons. Only a week or two
since, when George Peabody, Esq., visited Baltimore, Mrs. Bar-
num heard of his arrival, and, although she knew herself to be
on her deathbed, insisted on an interview with the philanthropic
gentleman — one of her old familiar friends. Mr. Peabody took
the earliest moment to pay his respects, and for an hour sat by
her bedside, and together they talked of the scenes of the past.
Their parting is said to have been of a very affecting nature. Thus
has passed from earth one of those interesting links that bind us
to the last century, and her honored grave will be bedewed with
the tears of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren."
Children of David Barnum and Anna Kirby:
i. David Strong Barnum, b. ; no children.

in-law, William Guthrie, to Chenango County, N. Y., and settled
upon a tract of land situated about three miles above the present
town of Afton which they had purchased from Air. Robert Harper
of Harpersville, Delaware County, N. Y. Here they built cabins,
and returned the following autumn to Connecticut for their fam-
ilies, which they brought back with them the next spring. Their
title to these lands proving defective, in consequence of the re-
pudiation of Harper's claims by the Government on account of
being based upon a purchase made with the Indians, they aban-
doned their first settlement. Reuben Kirby removed to the east
side of the Susquehanna River, and purchased a piece of ground
about two miles below the present town of Bainbridge. His first
wife died Sept. 14, 1793. The following year he returned to

Reuben Kirby was a Revolutionary soldier. At one time he
was stationed on, or near, Staten Island. His grandson, William
D. Kirby of Bainbridge, N. Y., writes: " I have heard my father
relate an anecdote his father Reuben told him of what happened
when they were on the island [Staten Island]. When they re-
ceived the news of General Burgoyne's surrender they were so
elated that they failed to obey orders, but shouted, danced, fired
the cannon, snatched each other's hats and rammed them down
the cannons for wads, and had a general jubilee." Children:

AN ACCOUNT OF SOME OF THE DE-
SCENDANTS OF RICHARD KIRBY OF
SANDWICH MASSACHUSETTS
Richard Kirby of Sandwich, Mass., first appears upon the
records of New England in 1636 as an inhabitant of Lynn, Mass.
In 1637, together with William Wood and others of Lynn, he
removed to Cape Cod, and began the settlement of the town of
Sandwich. He is mentioned as a neighbor by Thomas Hampton
of Sandwich in his will, dated March, 1638, and the same year
he, with others, was fined for having swine unringed. He shared
in the division of new lands in 1641. His name appears in the
list made in Aug., 1643, of the sixty-eight inhabitants of Sand-
wich who were able to bear arms. He was one of the eleven male
members whose names are found on the first recorded list of
members of the Puritan Church of Sandw^ich. In 1651 he was
presented, with others, for non-attendance on public worship.
There v/as trouble at this time in the church between the Rev.
Mr. Leveridge and his people, and Richard Kirby may have sim-
ply stood aloof from the contestants. In the autumn of 1656,
Nicholas Upsiall, a puritan of Boston who had been exiled for
protesting against the imprisonment of Mary Fisher, the first
" Quaker " to appear in Boston, found a temporary refuge in
Sandwich. The Plymouth records of this date contain a com-
plaint that, " Nicholas Upsiall, Richard Kirby and the wife of
John Newland, and others, did frequently meet together at the
house of William Allen in Sandwich on the Lord's day and other
times. They used to invey against ministers and magistrates to
dishonor God and contempt of government." (Plymouth Court
Orders, HI., p. 105.) So far as we know, the names contained
in the above record are those of the first persons in this country
to embrace the principles of the Friends. Yet it is not certain
that Richard Kirby ever became a member of the Society of
Friends. The Sandwich church was " the most bigoted and in-
tolerant in the Colony," and he may have associated with the

DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD KIRBY
" Quakers " out of sympathy for the cause of religious liberty.
It is known that in 1684 he took the " oath of fidelity," and neither
his name nor that of his sou Richard appears as a member in the
church records of the Friends. Between 165S and 1660 the Sand-
wich Quakers suffered in fines to the amount of ±679, and of this
amount Richard Kirby and his son paid £57 12s. Some time after
1660 he removed to Dartmouth, }^lass. In November, 1670. he
purchased from Sarah Warren one-half of Thomas ^Molton's
share of land in Dartmouth. ('" Oiiginal Proprietors of Dart-
mouth," Vol. I., p. 13.) In 1683 he purchased of Zechariah Jen-
kins land in Dartmouth, on the east side of Cocksett River, at a
place called Xasquamskiesett. The only records concerning him
in the town records relate to his taking the freeman's oatii, or
'* oath of fidelity.'' In the Dartmouth Town Records for 1684 it
is recorded that " Richard Kirby, Senior," and fourteen others,
who are also named, " took oath of fidelity." In May, 16S6, it is
also recorded that forty-five names were reported to the town
meeting as having taken the oath of fidelity, and among these
names is that of " Richard Kirby, Senior."
The name of his wife is unknov.-n. Her first name was probably
Jane. There is a Sandwich record that Jane Kirby had twin chil-
dren. Increase and Abigail, born February, 1650, who died soon
after, and that the mother was buried, together with her son
Richard, March 2^, 1650. The mention of " her son Richard,"
however, throws some doubt upon the matter, and suggests the
suspicion that she may have been the wife of Richard Kirbv, Jr.
Nevertheless, the circumstance of having two living children of
the same name is not unprecedented, and a daughter of Richard
Kirby, Sr., was named Jane. Since this daughter was married
in Sept., 165 1, it is probable that her mother was married before
1635, perhaps in Lynn, Mass., but more probably in England.
Richard Kirby, Sr., died in Dartmouth, Mass., after May, 1686,
and before July 21, 1688, as the following agreement shows;
To all people to whom these presents shall come, greeting:— Whereas
Richard Kerby, formerly of Dartm.outh in the County of Bristol! in the
Colony of New Plymouth in New England, sometime more than nineteen
years since died intestate and left some personal estate undisposed of, he
having before his death given and disposed of his lands unto his two sons,
viz; to his son Richard Kerby, now of Dartmouth aforesaid, one quarter
of a share of lands throughout the said town of Dartmouth, both divided
and undivided, and one other quarter of a share unto his other son Recom-
pence Kerby, then of Dartmouth aforesaid, and which was enjoyed and

mouth, Mass., born 1618; died Jan. 15, 1692. He was at Plymouth
as early as 1629, for there is a Plymouth court order, dated Jan.
2, 1633-34, relieving him from his bond to Edward Doty at the
expiration of five years of apprenticeship, which indicates that he
was bound to Edward Doty when ten or eleven years of age.
Nothing, however, has been learned of his parentage. He was
known at Plymouth as John Smith, Jr., and as " the boattes-
man." In May, 1653, he accompanied Captain Thomas Willett
in an expedition against the " Dutch at Monhatoes " in a barque
of which George Watson was the master. He was admitted free-
man June 5, 1 65 1, and he took the oath of fidelity May 4, 1657.
The same year, June 3, he is recorded as " Deputy that served at
this Court." In 1658 he was fined for absenting himself from
public worship, and in 1660 was twice fined for " permitting
Quaker meetings at his house." He removed about 1665 to Dart-
mouth, Mass. In the deed of land at Dartmouth which he re-
ceived from Edward Doty, dated Oct. 16, 1665, he is said to be
" now residing in the town of Dartmouth." He was, in ifj2,
one of the three surveyors of highways in that town, and the same
year was appointed by the Plymouth Court to investigate and
settle a dilterence between John Cook and the town of Dartmouth.
He was appointed, March 4, 1673-74, " to be the Lieftenant of the
Military company of Dartmouth, and Jacob Mitchell to be ensign
bearer of the said company." (See Court Orders, Vol. V., p. 96;
also Old Colony Printed Records, Vol. V., p. 138. These were
the first military officers that were appointed by the Plymouth
Court for the town of Dartmouth. A lieutenant was at that time
the highest military officer in the town.) In 1677, together with
John Cook and John Russell, he was appointed by the Plymouth
Court to distribute the £22 fund donated by " divers Christians in
Ireland for the relief of such as are impoverished, distressed and
in necessitie by the late Indian war," and the following year the
same court authorized him, naming him as " Lieftenant John
Smith," together with John Russell and John Cook, "in. his
Majestie's name to call the town together to make such rates as
are requisite." He is one of those mentioned in the town records,
Dec. 10, 1684, as having taken the oath of fidelity. He died in
Dartmouth, Jan. 15, 1692, in the seventy-fourth year of his age.
Lieutenant John Smith married, first, Jan. 4, 1648-49, Deborah
Howland, daughter of Arthur Howland, by whom he had five
children, viz., Hassadyah, John, Josiah, Eleazer, and Hezekiah.
His wife Deborah died after Oct. 16, 1665.

ing to i57 I2S. " He was evidently of the sterner stuff of re-
formers, ahead of the time in which he lived, and acted fully up
to that line, regardless of personal consequences." (G. A. Hinck-
ley of Barnstable, Mass.)
Richard Kirhy, Jr., was married, Oct. 9, 1665, to Patience,
daughter of William GifTord of Sandwich, Mass. He afterward
removed to Dartmouth, Mass. His wife Patience died some time
after May 20, 1674, and he married (2), Dec. 2, 1678, Abigail,
widow of Zoeth Howland, son of Henry Howland of Duxbur>%
who had been killed by the Indians at Pocasset, March 26, 1676,
leaving nine children. There is no record of any child by this
second marriage; yet, inasmuch as he mentions in his will "my
granddaughter Remember Potter," it may be that he had one
child, a daughter, by his second wife, who married a Potter. His
will is dated Jan. 30, 1707-8, and was probated April 4, 1720. It
is assumed, therefore, that he died in 1720. Since his wife Abigail
is not mentioned in his will, it is probable that she died before 1708.

lost, but the proprietary records contain the following confirma-
tion of his marriage: " May 28, 1713; — Hugh Mosher of Dart-
mouth for love and good will for my daughter Rebecca wife of
John Kirby of Dartmouth, and for other good cause, have sold to
my dau, Rebecca and her husband John Kirby all of my 40 acres
of land on East side of Coakseti River and joining land of my
dau. Hannah Cornell, it being a part of the 800 acres to a share
conveyed by the purchase of Dartmouth." He lived in that. part
of the town of Dartmouth known as Ponagansett, for the pro-
prietary records state that, ''July 7, 171 1, was laid out John
Kirby's homestead 167 acres on West side of Paschamansett
River in Ponaganset village." Here probably he erected and
operated a saw-mill, for the proprietary records also state that,
"July 13, 1715, land was set ofif to John Kirby for a saw-mill."
Pie was constable for Dartmouth in 1707 and 1708. He died
about 1730. His daughter Elizabeth deeded land to her brother
Richard Kirby, and in the deed, dated July 15, 1731, describes
herself as " daughter of John Kirby now deceased." His will,
dated July 2, 1724, and approved , mentions his wife Re-
becca, his daughter Sarah Winslow% and each of his other nine
children by name. The date of his wife's death is unknown.

was one of the original purchasers of Dartmouth in 1652. He
died April 7, 1663. His wife Esther was living at the date of the
making of his will, Dec. 7, 1659.
n. John Cooke, called " Elder" and sometimes " Rev. John"
Cooke, came, with his father, Francis, in the Mayflower, 1620.
He was a deacon of the church at Plymouth; was also deputy,
and a man of inlluence; but, having become a defender of the
" Quakers," he became obnoxious to the Plymouth authorities,
and removed to Dartmouth, of which he had been an original
purchaser. Here he was held in honor, representing the town in
the General Court, 1673. 1674, 1675, and 1678. In 1676 he joined
the Baptist Church at Newport, and preached at Dartmouth and
other places. Backus, in his church history, states that " John
Cooke was a Baptist minister in Dartmouth many years." He
married, March 28, 1634, Sarah, daughter of Mr. Richard War-
ren, the twelfth signer of the Mayflower compact. His will is
dated Nov. 9, 1694, and was approved April 16, 1696.
HI. Sarah Cooke, eldest child of Rev. John Cooke and Sarah
Warren, born 1635; died after 17 10; married, Nov. 20, 1652, Ar-

Rhode Island." p. 268.)
V. Elizabeth Cadman, only child of Hannah Hathaway and
George Cadman, born ; died after 1768; married William
White of Dartmouth. (Austin's " Genealogical Dictionary of
Rhode Island," p. 26S; also will of George Cadman, recorded at
Taunton in Book HI., p. 500, and the will of Hannah Cadman in
Book XL, p. 700.) The parentage of William White has not been
established, but it is probable that he was the youngest son of
Samuel White of Rochester, Mass. He was petit juror for Dart-
mouth in 1 7 13, and was elected constable in 17 16. His will is
dated Jan. 6, 1768, and was approved Oct. 3, 1780." He was living
in 1777, the date of his son's will, and in all probability died in
1780.

dated Feb. 17, 1777, and approved Oct. 3, 1780 (Taunton Probate

Grand-father George Cadman gave me after the decease of my
honored father and mother " ; mentions also " my eldest daughter

Jonathan and Abigail White of Westport. He purchased, in 1807,
a farm on Smith's Neck road in South Dartmouth, and resided
upon it until 185 1, when he removed to New Bedford, Mass.
He was much respected by his fellow townsmen, and held at
various times the offices of assessor and selectman, which he
filled with ability. He was a man of a grim humor, and was exact
in the discharge of the duties of his office. On one occasion,
when returning from New Bedford, he met a man who asked for
alms. Air. Kirby took him in, and as he drove past the poor-
house turned him over to the keeper. The man was very indig-
nant, but there was no help for it. Among his duties was that of
enforcing the observance of the Sabbath. It had been the custom
for the people to get their hay in on Sunday if the weather was
clear. Mr. Kirby used to joke with the neighbors about this,
and to say that if they must get their hay in on the Sabbath to
please not let him see them do it, or he would have to take notice
of it. He always dressed in the Quaker garb, and attended regu-
larly the meetings of the Society of fViends. He died April ii,
i860, in New Bedford, mourned by a wide circle of acquaintances
and friends. Hannah White Kirby died Jan. 10, 1842, " aged
75 yrs. 5 mo. 21 da." (gravestone).

zen of New Bedford and a director in two of the banks in that
city, A Kirby of the Kirbys — for his mother also w^as a Kirby
— he has long been interested in the history and genealogy of
his branch of the Kirbys of New England, and his knowledge
of the same, as well as of the White family and other connected
families, is extensive. It is only justice to him to say that most
of the matter relating to the descendants of Richard Kirby of
Sandwich, Mass., has been obtained from him, and the compiler
wishes here to acknowledge the obligation he is under, although
he has already done so in the introduction to this work.

born July 20, 1828, daughter of Phineas Perry of Bourne, Mass.,
and Eliza Bourne, daughter of Job Bourne of Bourne, Mass.

native town, and learned the jewelry trade in Skowhegan and
Bangor, Me. In 1844 he removed to Wisconsin, and erected a
small store in ^Milwaukee. His business thrift, industry, and keen
appreciation of the possibilities of the Territory of Wisconsin en-
abled him to rise to prominence and affluence. He was the founder
of the Kirby, Carpenter Company, one of the largest lumber
manufacturing concerns in the United States. The output of this
company in 1894 was 150,000,000 feet of lumber. He built and
owned the " Kirby House " in ^Milwaukee, Wis., and the " Kirby
House " in Menominee, Ivlich. He was the first person to use
steam upon the great lakes. His vessel, " The Cream City," so
equipped in 1862, was the marvel of the day. He was elected
Mayor of Milwaukee in 1864, and served one term, but declined
a renomination. At the time of the outbreak of the Civil War,
being too old for active service, and his application as a volunteer
having been refused, he raised and equipped at his own expense
an entire company. He was always noted for his public spirit
and generosity. Although a firm Democrat, none mourned the
death of President Lincoln more than he. When Richmond sur-
rendered— he then being Mayor of Milwaukee — he issued an
order to his chief of police that is still remembered in the city:
" William, the war is over. Let us have a celebration, and arrest
every able-bodied man who is sober by night."
Abner Kirby died Sept. 21, 1893, in ^Milwaukee, Wis. He was
married three times. He married (i) Rebecca Chase; married

part of Dartmouth which afterward became the town of West-
port, where in 1737 he was surveyor of highways, and in 1744 was
chosen constable, but declined to serve. He died probably in
1794. His will, dated March 29, 1788, mentions his wife Rachel,
his son John Kirby, his son David Kirby, his daughter Ruhamer
Wilbor, and his daughter Rachel Kirby; mentions also '"my
three grandsons Humphrey Kirby and Robert Kirby, sons of my
son John Kirby, and Ichabod Wilbor the son of my dau. Ruhamer
Wilbor." He also leaves to his five granddaughters (names not
mentioned) a small bequest apiece. Witnesses: Elijah Giftord,
Richard Kirby, and Richard Kirby, Jr.
What is believed to have been Ichabod Kirby 's house in West-
port is still standing, although som.ewhat altered. "The stone
fire-place formerly occupied the whole of the north end of the
house. There was a door on either side near the fire-place so
that they could take a horse and draw a log into the house and
put one end in the fire-place, and then, when it was burned off,
move the log in again until it was consumed."

DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD KIRBY
married, July 13, 1777 (Dartmouth record), Susanna Rogers of
Dartmouth. No record of his birth has been found, and he is not
mentioned in the will of Silas Kirby, Sr.; nevertheless, it is be-
lieved that he was the eldest son of the latter, for his name and
designation, " Silas Kirby, Jr.," indicates relationship to Silas
Kirby, Sr. Besides, he lived in the fork of Xociuechuck River,
where Robert Kirby held land, which he bequeathed to his chil-
dren. There is also a place for him as the eldest child among the
children of Robert Kirby 's son Silas, but not among the children
of any other son of Robert Kirby; and, furthermore, an examina-
tion of the table of the children of Silas Kirby, Sr., awakens the
suspicion that there was a child born to him before the birth of
the tvv-ins, Barnabas and Elizabeth. ^Moreover, if the eldest child
of Silas Kirby, Sr., then the fact of his not being mentioned in
his father's will is readily accounted for by the supposition that
he had already received his portion of inheritance.
The Dartmouth Town Records state that " Silas Kirby, Jr.,
and Susanna Rogers, both of Dartmouth, were married July 13,
1777." The land records of Dartmouth show that he bought,
in 1778, of Hezekiah and Margaret Davis thirty acres in the
forks of Noquechuck River, and that in 1782 he bought twenty
acres more in the same locality — said land being sold by " the
Proprietors of Dartmouth to Silas Kirby, the second," and is
described as bounded by " Allen's land north, Christopher
Mason's land east and Kirby's own land south." In 1787 he
sold the above land, with dwelling house and barn, to Simeon
Chase of Dartmouth, and the same year bought land in Dart-
mouth of Caleb and Patience Peckham. Nov. 18, 1790, he sold
the land last mentioned to James Baker, and after this date all
trace of him is lost.
Silas Kirby, Jr., was a Revolutionary soldier. His name ap-
pears on the muster-roll of Captain Kempton's company, of
Colonel Dcnelson's regiment, under the date of Aug., 1775. He
enlisted ]\Iay 8, 1775 ; time of service, three months. (See Massa-
chusetts Revolutionary Rolls, Vol. XV., p. 46.)
Children of Silas Kirby, Jr., and Susanna Rogers:
i. Rhoda Kirby, b. Feb. ly, 1778; m., Sept. 11, 1812, Pat-
rick Gerry of Dartmouth, Mass. Children:
I. Mary J. Gerry, b. ; m. Capt. John Harding
of New Bedford. They had a son, James G.,
who is now living in New Bedford.

was born July i, 1849, i^ Cleveland, O. He is by profession a
construction engineer and naval architect, and has become widely
known, both at home and abroad, for his professional skill in the
construction of vessels. To him, more than to any other, is due
the credit for the introduction of metal ships upon the Great
Lakes, and for placing lake shipping upon even terms with that
of the ocean. The finest ships of the Detroit and Navigation
Company and of the Cleveland and Buffalo line have been built
from his designs. He has been particularly successful in the
construction of vessels for winter service in the ice, and steamers
after his designs have lately been introduced into Russia. Dur-
ing the present war with Spain Mr. Kirby has added to his
reputation by conspicuous services rendered to the Nation in ex-
amining and reporting on the condition and value of ships oftered
to the Government. The "Buffalo Courier" recently said:
" Frank E. Kirby is the constructing engineer and part ov.-ner
of the Detroit Dry Dock and Ship Building Company. He is
as well known in all the ports along the Great Lakes and sea-
board as he is at his own home in Detroit, where he is held in
universal esteem. Mr. Kirby has no superior and but few equals
in his practical and technical knowledge of ship-building in all
its details. Of late, however, he has v.-on for himself a more than

national reputation by conspicuous services to the Government
in the purchase or chartering of vessels for duty in the recent
war with Spain. After the Government had resolved upon its
plan of action in the war, the problem of securing, by purchase
or charter, a sufficient number of suitable steamers was felt to
be a serious one. These vessels were urgently needed for the
movement of troops and the forwarding of supplies. ^ The re-
sponsibility in the selection of someone thoroughly familiar with
the kind of craft needed, and able to secure them without loss
of time, was great. It was in this crisis that Secretary Alger
chose Frank E. Kirby to perform a task which to the ordinary
mind presented insuperable difhculties. Mr. Kirby was sum-
moned to Washington. The gravity of the situation was presented
to him. He was urged to temporarily lose sight of his large in-
terests in Detroit, and devote his whole time and energies to meet-
ing the emergency of the hour. Mr. Kirby is as patriotic as they
make them. Pic at once dropped everything else, and with char-
acteristic energy devoted himself to the service of his country.
" How well this Detroit citizen acquitted himself in the per-
formance of the responsible task assigned him is a matter of his-
tory. In an incredibly short space of time the vessels needed for
transport duty were in the hands of the Government. Mr. Kirby's
intimate knowledge of ocean-going vessels enabled him to lay
his finger on the sort of craft needed for any particular kind of
work, and his knowledge of construction enabled him to make
a proper estimate of values, so that the Government's needs were
promptly met without subjecting it to the prices usually exacted
in like emergencies. Before he was placed in charge, the Gov-
ernment had entered into, and was about to complete, negotia-
tions for the purchase of seven British steamers. To Mr. Kirby's
keen eye and shrewd judgment, in this one deal alone, the country
is indebted for a saving of $445,000. This is only one of many
instances where his skill and sagacity resulted in staving off fancy
prices and saving large sums to the Government. One of the
most modest and unassuming of men, ^Ir. Kirby is one of those
who quietly conduct large and successful enterprises, and blush
to find it fame. His name seldom finds its way into the public
prints. But the pen of the veracious historian of the future will
record that the splendid services of Mr. Kirby — services which
can never be measured in money — were no small factor in de-
termining the ultimate result of America's war with Spain."

of these reaping machines, in which as many as two thousand

of nineteen, in the Third N. Y. Volunteer Artillery, and was ap-
pointed Second Lieutenant of Battery' K, March lo, 1862. This
battery was raised in Union Springs, N. Y., and the regiment in
Cayuga County, the Nineteenth N. Y. Volunteer Infantry. His
battery did duty at, and near, Xewbern, N. C. He was promoted
to First Lieutenant, Battery K, July 3, 1863, and participated in
the engagements of Wise Forks, Kingston, Whitehall, Golds-
boro, and Newbern, in North Carolina. At the latter place, Feb.
2, 1864, he was captured, with a command of two guns, and was
confined in Libby prison at Richmond, Va., at Macon, Ga., at
Charleston, S. C, and at Camp Sorgum, near Columbia, S. C.
From the latter prison he escaped, Nov. 29, 1864, together with
three other officers, and made his way over the mountains to
the Federal lines at Knoxville, Tenn., arriving there Jan. 13, 1865.
From the Auburn " Daily Advertiser," of March 27, 1886, the
following account of Captain Kirby's escape, as given by him-
self, is taken:
" I made up my mind to take advantage of the first opportunity
to get out, and arranged to run the guard, but the night was too
light; at another time to bribe the guard, but while doing so one
of the sentries fired on our party, and w-e all retired to the se-
clusion of our holes in the ground. But an opportunity came
at last. Most every morning a party was paroled to go outside
the camp to cut wood for building huts. They would bring the
wood down to the dead-line, and then we would take it from there
into camp. On the morning of the 29th of Nov., 1864, Captain
Sidney Mead of the iiith N. Y. Volunteer Infantry came to me,
stating that Colonel Thomas H. Butler, Fifth Indiana Cavalry,
and himself intended to try to escape, and desired that I should
go with them. W^e then went down to the dead-line where the
paroled party were bringing their wood, and gave the guard to
understand that we had been paroled to go out, but the party
then out had gone without us. About this time Lieutenant Sill
came down with a load of wood and rebuked Mead for being
lazy, and this carried out our plan before the guard that we be-
longed to the paroled party out. Mead told him if he would
bring down the parole for the guard to pass him he could yet
do his share of work. Sill soon appeared with another load of
wood and a paper, which he presented as the parole. The guard,
fortunately, could not read and reckoned it was all right, and
Mead stepped across the line and was asked to see our squad
and have our parole sent down to the line for us. Soon Mead

appeared with a load of wood, and presented to the guard a
piece of paper with writing on it, and the guard, as in the former
case, reckoned it was all right. We stepped across the dead line,
and did not look back for fear the guard might change his mind
and order us back. About three o'clock we escaped into a swamp
west of the camp and waited until after dark. Here we were
joined by Lieutenant Oliphant of the Thirty-fifth N. J. Volunteer
Infantry, who had also escaped from the guard. Our plan was to
reach our lines at Knoxville, Tenn., by taking the roads at night,
hiding and resting in the daytime, depending upon the negroes
for our food. We had heard that there was a Union man, by the
name of Jones, who lived near the line between South and North
Carolina, who would find us a guide from there to Knoxville."
Having now escaped from the guards at Camp Sorgum, it was
only with the greatest difficulty that they succeeded in eluding
bands of Confederates who, assisted by dogs, scoured the whole
country for escaped prisoners. The sixth day of their escape they
crossed, and then recrossed, a creek, and had hardly done so
when a party of armed men, with eight or ten dogs, appeared
on the other side. ]Mead, who had escaped before and had been
recaptured by dogs, was sure they were on their trail, but they
passed on. They were informed by the negroes that this party
captured several officers during that day. It is probable that
their recrossing the creek saved them from being taken. Dur-
ing their journey they fell in with more than one party of es-
caped officers, who, they learned from the negroes, were soon
after recaptured. Near Merrittsville they had to cross a bridge
that was guarded, and did so successfully, under the cover of the
rain and darkness, by crawling across close to the railing. At
another time, while lying secreted by a friendly negro near a
hotel in the mountains, a party of twenty-five Confederates took
possession of the house and remained there more than twenty-
four hours. Thus, in great peril of recapture and with great
hardships, Lieutenant Kirby and his fellow officers made their
way by night, assisted by friendly negroes, who called them
" Massa Lincoln's soldiers," through New Berry, Lawrence,
Greenville, and Merrittsville, to the house of Mr. Jones, who
furnished them with a guide over the Blue Ridge Mountains to
Knoxville, which they reached Jan. 13, 1865, having been forty-
six days on the road. After a short furlough. Lieutenant Kirby
rejoined his battery, and was immediately promoted to Captain
and assigned to command Battery I of his old regiment, Feb. 17,

his parents, to Jackson County, Mich., and in 1841 to Monroe
County in the same State. After an academic course at Aurora,
N. Y,, he studied medicine at the University of Michigan and at
the Buffalo Medical College, and graduated from the latter in
1B54 with the degree of ]M.D. The same year he began to prac-
tice medicine at Newport, Monroe County, Mich., and continued
in the practice of his profession at this place, except during the
Civil War, until 1874, when he removed to Petersburg, in the
same county, where he now resides. We copy from his letter
the following interesting account of his military services during
the Rebellion:
" In the spring of 1861 I received the appointment of Assistant
Surgeon, but, preferring to go into the cavalry, was commissioned
First Lieutenant of Company C, First Ohio Cavalry. We were
sent to West Virginia, and took part in the battle of Green River.
In February, 1862, the First Ohio squadron was assigned to Gen-
eral Landor to act as his body-guard. General Landor died in
March, 1862, and the body-guard took charge of his remains, and
delivered them to his family. My command was then assigned to
General James Shields as his special escort, and remained with
him as long as he was in command. On the 23d of March, 1862,
companies A and C, numbering one hundred and forty men,
commanded by Captains Robinson and Kirby, made a charge on
the enemy, capturing two hundred and sixty-four prisoners.
Captain Robinson died a few days afterward, leaving Captain
Kirby in full command, also as acting surgeon. On June 8, 1862,
we engaged in the battle of Port Republic, where I was wounded

and sent to Washington in an ambulance. We were next as-
signed to General Pope to act as his body-guard. We were en-
gaged in the battles of Bull Run and Cedar Mountain ; was
also in the battle of Antietam, under General McClellan, and was
afterward sent to Washington. Being unfit for further service,
I soon after resigned and went home.
" Having recovered sufficiently from wounds and injuries, I
accepted, on the ist of August, 1863, a commission as Captain
of Company E, Eleventh Michigan Cavalry, and was sent to Lex-
ington, Ky., to report to General Hobson; from whence we were
sent, with fourteen hundred head of catde, to Knoxville, Tenn.,
to relieve General Burnside's army. We returned to Lexington
April 5th, 1864, when General Burbridge requested us to pro-
ceed to western Kentucky in search of train robbers. W^e were
successful and returned in time to give check to John Morgan,
then making his last raid through Kentucky. After a fight of four
hours he was completely routed — the stand being made at Cyn-
thiana. General Islorgan's portfolio, order-book, and saddle-bags
fell into my hands, and are still in my possession. On the 25th of
June, by order of Major-General McClain, I was detailed as
provost marshal at Lexington, Ky., and acted in this capacity
until January, 1865, when, finding myself prostrated with nervous
fever, caused by wounds, and having contracted rheumatism from
previous exposure, I resigned and came home, reduced from my
former weight of 205 to 146 pounds."

before the lattcr's decease in i6S8. These lands he sold in 1698
to his brother Richard and removed to Newton," Burlington
County, N. J., where he died in 1720. His wife's name was Re-
becca. There is a deed recorded at Taunton, given in 1708 by
Recompence Kirby to James Tripp, which is signed by Recom-
pence Kirby and " Rebecca A. Kirby." The letter " A." in the
signature of his wife is not a clerical error for a cross, since a
cross is recorded between the word " Rebecca " and the initial
letter " A." It is conjectured, therefore, that the maiden name
of his wife was Rebecca Allen, and, if so, then she was in all
probability the daughter of Francis Allen (son of George) and
I^lary Barlow.
The will of Recompence Kirby, recorded at Trenton, N. J.
(Book II. of Wills, p. 143), is dated July 4, 1712, and was ap-
proved Nov. 21, 1720. In his will he gives " to my son William
Kirby fifty acres of land adjoining to his plantation; " to " my
son Benjamin Kirby two hundred acres of land adjoining the
land of William Wood and Clayton;" and the remaining por-
tion of his land, " two hundred and fifty acres with the houses,
barns, orchards, meadows and other improvements, I give to my
son Richard Kirby." He gives to '' my daughter Rebecca thirty
pounds," and all of his personal estate to " Rebecca my wife."
His son Richard Kirby is made executor. Witnesses: William
Wills, Joseph Laycock, Joseph Reckless.

the rest is to be divided among his children, and their respective

THE DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS BURGIS OF
GUILFORD, CONNECTICUT.
1. Thomas Burgis, the ancestor of those by the name of Bur-
gis in New England, was born in Yorkshire, England. The
circumstances under which he came to Guilford, Ct,, are given
in the "History of Guilford, Ct.," by B. C. Steiner, page 135:
" Thomas Burgis, Sr., a shoemaker and tanner, came to Guilford
about 1707. He was a native of Yorkshire, England, and was
pressed on board a British man-of-war, where he was detained
several years. After some time the vessel was cruising in the
neighborhood of New York, when Mr. Burgis escaped, with one
or two others, and fled into the countn.-. It is said he was re-
taken near Newtown, Ct., and received a grievous sabre-cut on
his face, which left a scar ever after. Subsequently he escaped
again, when in the neighborhood of Boston, and coming along
the shore, stopped at Guilford, and married Mercy, daughter of
Thomas Wright." His descendant, Mrs. Sarah J. Ashton of
Middletown, Ct., gives a more detailed account of his adventures:
" He was pressed into the English navy, and twice made his
escape. The first time he was recaptured, and received a deep
sabre-cut in one cheek, the scar of which he carried to his grave.
The second time he escaped from New York and succeeded in
making his way as far as Fairfield, Ct. Being traced to this place,
he secreted himself in a field of corn. He heard the footsteps of
his pursuers, but was not discovered. He first located tempo-
rarily in Fairfield, and afterward removed to Guilford, where he
was befriended by Mr. Thomas Wright of that place, whose
daughter he afterward married."
Thomas Burgis, Sr., married, Aug. 19, 1707, in Guilford, Ct.,
Mercy Wright, born 1680, daughter of Thomas Wright and
Sarah Benton (married 1673), t>oth of Guilford, Ct. He died
Oct. 23, 1736, and his widow, Sarah, June 29, 1747, both in
Guilford, Ct. Children born in Guilford, Ct. :
2. i. Thomas Burgis, b. May 29, 1709; m. Hannah Dodd.
ii. Jesse Burgis, b. April 2}^, 1712; d. soon.

upon him; when, after a cheerful conversation with them, he
would repeat this passage of Scripture: 'Then they that feared
the Lord spake often one to another, and the Lord hearkened
and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him
for them that feared the Lord and that thought upon his name.' "
He married. May 18, 1737, Hannah Dodd, born July 28, 1712,
daughter of Samuel Dodd of Guilford, Ct., and Hannah Savage
