Classification: Query
Surnames: Kirkland, Truscott, Mann
Eliza Jane Kirkland married James Joseph Truscott Oct 21, 1852 in Jersey County, IL. In the 1860 census, J.J. & Eliza and children are living in Greene Co, IL. I have not been able to locate them in 1870, but by 1880 the widowed James is with a son in Baylor County, Texas.

I have been told that Eliza's parents were Issac & Melinda (Mann) Kirkland. This appears to be that Kirkland family in census records:

Note: Thomas Kirkland, 27, MO is on 82A(13), perhaps another son.

I have lots of information on the Truscott line if you are interested, but this is about all I have on the Kirklands.
