Good Evening, I hope no one minds that I am sending this post to both the Kirkland list and the Coffee Co. list; I know there are Kirkland researchers on the Coffee Co. list and that's why I wanted to include you as well. First of all, thank you Ida Kirkland Boyce (of the Kirkland@yahoo list) for sharing the information you had on Richard Rowland Kirkland. If anyone on the Coffee Co list wants Ida's info, just email me and I'll send it to you; it will have to be privately because it includes attachments. I admit that I was extremely intrigued when I saw the painting and the medal on display at the Capitol building here in Columbia. I don't know if this man fits into any of my Kirkland lines, but feel that he is a hero worth knowing of and reading about. If anyone goes to the Capitol building, the painting is located on the 'first' floor. If you stand in front of the Capitol building, go around to the left (not up all the stairs in the front) and you will enter through a door on the left side of the building. There are security men and a metal detector to pass through. Beyond this, there will be a hallway to the left; it's a beautiful marble hallway. The portrait and the metal are on the right side of the wall down this hallway. I went to familytreemaker. com and did a search on him. It came up with 419 'hits' but not all of them were actually on this particular man. I did another search and narrowed the field down a bit. If any of you are interested in learning more about this man, I've included the URL's at the end of this message. All the information so far shows his father to be John Kirkland and that he had three brothers including William and Samuel Kirkland. Richard Rowland Kirkland died in 1863 (age 23); his brother William died Oct 19, 1899 (age 59); Samuel died in the Spring of 1866. Maybe someone out there is looking for some of these folks and the web sights may help them to find answers :-) Regards, Nancy E Parr ------------------------------------------------------- http://members.aol.com/GreySky285/rebel.html http://members.aol.com/Stormy3789/MHs.html http://members.aol.com/GreySky285/kirkland.html http://members.aol.com/GreySky285/obits.html

Nancy, Don't know if we can tie him in with our Kirkland's but thanks so much for sending these attachments.
