KERBY FAMILY OF COLLIN CO., TX

Antiquemom06 — 2009-09-25 13:41:36Z

Am seeking info on Lucy Kerby (sometimes seen as Curby) who came to TX from Pike Co., AR between 1860 & 1870 with her husband (Andrew) Jackson Brock and their children. In 1870 they are in Dallas. Living with them is my gggrandmother, Mary Matilda Ward - age 16. Mary was b. AR so probably moved to TX with the Brocks. I haven't been able to find her ancestors. Mary married James Wesley Wetsel in 1871 in Collin Co. The Wetsels were a large family that moved to TX in the 1840s settling in the McKinney area & later in Allen and Plano. They were friends of the Kerbys. I'd like to know if and/or how Mary is related to Jackson & Lucy. My research into Jackson's family doesn't show any relationship to Mary, so I would like to know more about Lucy's family.

Re: William Kerby married Nancy Thomas 1813

SharonKirby27 — 2009-09-11 13:04:51Z

Don't know if this is the same family. If your Kerbys did keep going west, where were they headed?
I have a James Kirby(b abt 1790) who was a potter by trade born in North Carolina. His son, M.J. was born (abt 1820) in South Carolina and his oldest son was born(abt 1849) in Georgia, though the rest were born in Texas where they finally settled.
I am interested in any Kirby/Kerby family who made the sweep from the Carolinas though Georgia to Texas to see if I can find a match somewhere.

Flemon also had a son named Johnnie Kerby who married Lessie Spivey of Jackson County.

Re: Layton Riley Kerby

nancyh1030 — 2009-08-24 13:43:28Z

Hello, I'm a Kerby on my mom's side of the family. My grandfather was Johnnie Kerby. He married Lessie Spivey. So my question would be if somewhere alone the line we are related to Lovely A Powell.

Re: Calhoun Co WV Kerbys

Hi, Reason Kerby would be my great-great grandfather on my mother's side. Her father was Roscoe Kirby, son of Emory Kirby. I am new to geneology and I never knew many of my family. I was told that Emory's wife, Almira (Tuttle) was one-half Indian. Do you know if this is true?

Re: Edwin Donaldson Kerby of Morden, Manitoba

paulavv — 2009-03-12 15:49:30Z

I have a copy of 24 pages of a book written by Edwin Donaldson Kerby about the Kerby family kindly sent to me by Philip Kerby. I have being trying to prove the connection between my great great grandfather, Thomas Henry Kerby who was born in Hamilton Canada and the Kerby family who descended from Andrew Todd Kerby. Short of DNA testing I think it will be quite a task. Regards Paula Verschuur

boomerdog1123 — 2009-03-02 02:09:14Z

Is anyone aware of a book about the Kerby Family written by Edwin Donaldson Kerby in the 1880's?
Thanks,

Re: Nancy Johnson m. David Robert Kerby or Kirby

welchfamilyhistory1 — 2009-02-24 14:24:46Z

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. It doesn't look like this is the same family. I do have a James Kerby in my family, but he was born in 1703 and died in 1737. It is possible he could be a grandfather to your James, but I don't know anything about that family.
wish I could help!

Kerby or Kirby - Seeking WV Kerby Pictures

IrishMyLuv — 2008-02-10 13:42:52Z

Good morning all. I am seeking pictures of any Kerby / Kirby from West Virginia area. My grandfather was Ray Kerby (Emory, Reason, William, William). I have several Kerby/Kirby's in my family tree but no pictures to add to it, other than their headstones. If anyone has any that they would care to share, please email me at: irishmyluv@yahoo.com

Re: Thomas Kerby, John Kerby, Andrew Todd Kerby

GoldieHowes — 2008-09-12 20:59:35Z

I am seeking information about the Kerby family who settled at Florence in Lambton County, Ontario in the early 1800's. I am specifically interested in learning more about Edwin Kerby (born circa 1829), a merchant, and his wife, Mary Stagg (shown as Stage in some documents) who resided at Dawn Centre (now Rutherford), just a few miles from Florence.

Their daughter, Emma Agnes Kerby (born circa 1863), became a well known local artist and subsequently married John Miller (born circa 18620) at Chatham, Ontario in October, 1885, following which they may have resided in Harwich Township, Kent County, Ontario. My gggrandmother, Ann Stagg, was doucmented as being a witness to the wedding event.

It appears that Emma may have been raised, in part, by James and Ann (Stagg) Paul who resided on the edge of Florence (1871 Dawn Township census)and, in part, by William and Ellen Somerset (1881 Chatham Township census). William was Ann's son from her first marriage. I believe that Emma's mother may have been a sister to Ann (Stagg) Paul, my gggrandmother; however, I would like to learn what happened to her parents in order to confirm this.

I would appreciate any Kerby/Stagg family information. I can be contacted at megobloodline@yahoo.com.

Thanks.

sherryleeallen1 — 2007-11-09 01:40:32Z

Wiley( born about 1840, Grainger Tn) is the son of Olivia. ( ollie) He was one of 10 children born in Tennesse. In 1872 Nancy Jane Kerby Jennings named her son Wiley P Jennings. I assume in memory of her brother.
Ollie had a brother Joseph, he also has a son named Wiley born about 1845.
Looking like we got alot of Wiley's!

Dear Dorothy,
Thank you for responding to my notice. I am 66 & a retired federal servent but not so swift on using the web. Do you have a website for Kirby researchers? Should I google Kirby's va,sc,ga,al,fl,to Tx ? I am eager to see what documents you have discovered. How do I get there?

Re: Johathan Kerby 1698-1773 York, VA

peterwiedigerwilson — 2009-01-30 17:14:21Z

I can not add to what has been covered on Antiques Roadshow and The HIstory Detective on Civil War relics. I do know that some Kerby's favored the Union, perhaps because of their Quaker relations' views on slavery.

KERBY in Camborne, Cornwall, England

goodmanamy — 2008-03-09 15:33:40Z

Hi all,

My g-g-grandmother is Mary KERBY was born 26 Feb. 1814 in Camborne, Cornwall, England (g-g-grandfather was Thomas MARTIN, b. 3 June 1815 in Camborne, Cornwall, England).

Mary's parents were Joseph KERBY and Honour SMITH, also born Cornwall.

I suspect that Joseph KERBY's parents, William & Grace, may have emigrated to Cornwall from Ireland, and I am eager to confirm my notion.

Any connections would be most gratefully welcome!

shuler541 — 2008-08-21 13:22:49Z

Katrina,
Just saw your post. I am researching the family of James Kirby, b.1765 in Wilkes Co., NC. Your post didn't mention dates or locations but I am curious as to where your Kirby's were located. As you probably know, many of them moved west. My family pretty much stayed in the Wilkes/Caldwell Co. area of NC.

Just wondered...

Hello,

I am searching for information on Jesse Kerby, born in 1798 in Burke Co North Carolina. His father may have been Samuel L Kerby but I am not sure.

William Kerby married Nancy Thomas 1813

aeriehollow119 — 2008-01-15 15:06:26Z

Looking for information on this Kerby family. Lived in the portion of Burke County that later became Yancey County North Carolina. William (birthdate unk) married Nancy Thomas daughter of Joseph W. Aaron Thomas August 26, 1813. They had one known daughter Cynthia (born after 1813) who married her cousin James Thomas Mar 25, 2838. He was born 1809 in Burke County N.C. They migrated to Union County Georgia. I don't show any children for this couple. Researchers have stated Cynthia died (?) and James married Mary Louise Ralston in Union Co., October 10, 1855 and that they migrated West... however in checking other documented information from other researchers the contention is that they returned to Union Co. and are buried in the Mt. Zion Baptist Cemetery in Blairsville, Union Co., Georgia. Would like to know more about this Kerby family.

Would he have been too young? He would have been 17, which in those days was old enough to be married and have a family...

I don't have records of another Francis Kerby other than this one as well.
