Kiracofe and Bailey

dshivelyii — 2009-09-07 16:38:59Z

Hi. it is amazing when I have time, that i find old threads such as these, to answer questions that have been driving me mad for years.
I have been in touch with Rita Moss in the past. i wasn't too much on the Kiracofe side at the time,although my interest has peaked now. I am also from the George and Elizabeth (Kiracofe)Bailey line. My interest is primarily the Bailey's, but am developing an interest on the Kiracofe's. i was under the assumption that Elizabeth was the first Kiracofe in the Allen Co. ohio area, but i guess i am mistaken. I was recently in the Lima/Elida/Rockport area's looking at the cemeteries, and finding a few kiracofe's in the Elida greenlawn cemetery. I noticed the main road in Elida being named after a/the Kiracofe's, and would like to know who it was named after,if anyone knows.
Also, any help from anyone else in my line, would be very much appreciated.

thank you
Dan Shively II

Anna Kerlin

SoCal92106 — 2009-07-09 04:43:20Z

You mentioned that you have photos of Anna Kerlin. I am curious to know if it's the same Anna Kerlin from Louisiana, born 1856 in Georgia and died March 26, 1916 in Louisiana. Her father was Samuel Kerlin born in 1825.

If you believe there is a connection I would love to hear from you.

I, too, am descended from Barbara Catherine Kiracof and James Addison Wolfe thru their son, Robert Henry Wolfe. If anyone has any information regarding Robert Henry, James Addison, or any of their ancestors, I would greatly love to hear it!

Re: Thank you all for posting the info on the Kiracofe family!!!1

nrhodes167 — 2007-09-12 03:25:10Z

Hello! I am researching my family tree and came across your post on a message board. I thought you might like to know that I am a direct descendant of Johann Friedrich Kirchhoff from his 1st marriage to Catharine Bowman Wacker. After she died he then married Barbara Koontz, your apparant ancestor. It was Henry (George) Kiracofe from whom I am descended, then his daughter Barbara Catherine Kiracofe who married James Addison Wolfe, then Robert Henry Wolfe, Carl Edward Wolfe, Helen Jane Wolfe Carolus, and my maiden name was Deborah Carolus. What a small world this is! Good luck on your future searches!

There are still a ton of Kiracofe's in the Camden/Gratis area. Albert still lives in Gratis and spends most of his time in Canada. Greg Kiracofe plays basketball with my dad every year in the "old timers" tournament.

Thank you all for posting the info on the Kiracofe family!!!1

CLanza1234 — 2005-03-08 04:38:14Z

First, I want to thank you all for posting the Kiracofe information on this message board. Sometimes I find that people ask other to e-mail them privately, which is alright but does not get the information out there to others.
Second; I am doing the family tree of a friend of mine from our church. She knew I was "addicted" to genealogy and when we compared notes found that we both had family from Virginia, (we live in Trumbull County, Ohio now).
This is how her family tree goes back to the Kiracofes in Augusta County, Virginia.

Living Perkins
parents: Arthur Perkins m. Dorothy McGowan
grandparents: Arthur Perkins Sr. m. Jeanette Andrews
gr-grandparents: James Henry Andrews m. Julia O'Brien
gr-gr-grandparents: John Henry Andrews m. Josephine McCall
gr-gr-gr-grandparents: Henry Andrews m. Mary Kiracofe
gr-gr-gr-gr-grandparents: George Kiracofe m. Jane Woodell
gr-gr-gr-gr-gr-grandparents: Johann Friedrich Kiracofe m. Barbara Koontz

As far as I know most of these people lived in Augusta County. The Perkins came from Maryland and before that Wales. The O'Brien's I'm not sure about yet. I know that Julia O'Brien's father was John O'Brien and they lived in Williamsville, Bath County, VA in 1870-1880. He was married to a Paulina Owens. John O'Brien was born in Ireland and Paulina (might have went by Mary too) Owens was born in either Ireland or in PA.

Without everyone taking the time to put in their connections I would have been very confused for a long time! Thank you again for filling in the blanks for me.

Notice that the Perkins/Andrews family moved also to Ohio, some in search of jobs and some in search of land.

Dear Mr. Arthur Kiracofe,

I don't recall having replied to you before about this posting. I apologize for that. I would indeed like to talk to you concerning anything you may want to add to the KIRACOFE or MESSINGER side of our family tree. I'll be contacting you via an email to further discuss our interest in this matter.

Sincerely,
William (Bill) H. Ream, Jr.

Jeremy,

Thank you for your contribution to your branch of the KIRACOFE branch of our REAM family tree. Especially thank you for telling me your grandfather's full name and for the update in his descendants.

I also notice that your grandfather had posted a reply to my message back in November. I don't recall having replied to him. I suspect that the notice that a reply had been posted to my query may have ended up in my "Possilbe spam box" and was unitentionaly deleted. Anyways I'll be emailing both of you.

Sincerely, yoiur cousin,
William (Bill) H. Ream, Jr.

Hi. I saw that you said you had never seen Albert's name listed as "Henry Albert Kiracofe". Well, it indeed is Henry Albert Kiracofe. I know this because he is my grandfather. Also, in the other Martin Luther Kiracofe Post it had my Uncle's name misspelled. It isn't Cary Lee, it is Gary Lee.
Dan married Caroline DuPont and they have one child named Justin Maverick.
Gary married Dawn Sandusky and they have a son named Adam W., and a daughter named Elizabeth Nicole. They lost their second daughter, Victoria Ashley, in 1994.
My father, Greg, married my mother, Karen Jones, their children are my older sister, Allyson, me, Lauren, and my little brother, Spencer.
Brian married Marsha ? and they have a son named Benjamin and another son named Jeremy Andrew
