Being a descendant of Hannah Boone (sister of Daniel) and Richard Pennington, I will respond to your question, that YES, there are some KIRBY family members who descend from this lineage. Not sure about the exact lineage, but there are several generations down the line. However, they are very active participants in the Pennington Research Association (PRA), Dr. Vernon and Mary Kirby live in Wise Co., TX. I encourage them to become members of the Boone Society, Inc. also - _www.boonesociety.org_ (http://www.boonesociety.org) J.

I've seen some info that seems to confirm that the Hannah Boone Kirby was d/o Jonathan, but have not proofed it myself. If you want proof, you might want to follow the leads, or ask the descendents of Hannah Boone Stewart Pennington if there are Kirbys. Just a Note from . . . . . . Nell
