That's a distinct possibility ...Hi Janice, yes! That's a distinct possibility that I've been exploring. Curiously, a man named Hugh Ford was appointed to appraise Thomas Kirk's estate following his death. This Hugh Ford was married to a woman named Nancy Kirk (or Nancy Ann). <br /><br />Their son son Dr. James Ford wrote a history of the Ford Family, which includes a passage indicating Ann's father was a man named Joseph Kirk. Perhaps the family is starting to come together?Family Sleutherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584864778317578299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826248344207578284.post-53201481395885340782016-10-25T08:27:35.237-04:002016-10-25T08:27:35.237-04:00This is just a thought...I have a Kirk connection ...This is just a thought...I have a Kirk connection who died in Licking County, Ohio. Her name was Mary Kirk, married to Anthony Geiger. Mary lived from 1774-1832. Could she be your Thomas's sister? <br /><br />Mary's parents are believed to be Joseph Kirk and Sarah unknown. Joseph is reported to have been born in 1754 in Ireland and possibly died in 1830 in Washington County, Ky. I haven't found the documentation for any of these statements except Mary's marriage and death, but it may give you someone else to look at.<br /><br />If I can be of any help to you, please let me know.Janice Harshbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979616914583582697noreply@blogger.com
