Kirby Family

First Generation

The Kirby ancestry is traced on the WorldConnect page of Kathi Wiley (Lwiley@copper.net). The first Kirby (also Kerby, Kerbey, Kearby) in the Stokes County area was probably Henry, whose will was probated in 1790, Stokes County. The will names wife Susannah; children Jesse, Pleasant, Sarah Davis, Edmond, Samuel, Sillia Williams, and Dorcas Cunningham; and a granddaughter, Patsy Childress. More details on this family are taken from the aforementioned WorldConnect page.

update, August 12, 2010:. Previously we named Henry's wife as Susannah Wright. She was actually the wife of a different Henry Kirby, who died in Smith Co. TN in 1827 (1829 in some treatments of this family). Probably the two Henrys were related, but we don't know how.
