Good Afternoon, You are absolutely correct in that there is much data in the Camden Archives on the Kirkland families from Kershaw Co., SC. However, the data is more concentrated on the family of Richard Rowland Kirkland who was from Camden and became known as the 'Angel of Marye's Heights' during the Civil War. I've been to the archives numerous times in the recent month and have found that Richard Rowland Kirkland descends from John A Kirkland and wife Mary Vaughn. John Kirkland's grandfather was Daniel Kirkland but there doesn't seem to be any data showing the parents of Daniel. These Kirkland families married into the Truesdale families of Kershaw Co. as well as other families. As much as I've tried, I cannot make a 'connection' just yet on whether these Kirkland families from Kershaw County tie into my direct line of Richard Kirkland and Mary Snowden. If anyone has information to tie these families and other Kirkland families together, please do share it with us :-) Regards, Nancy E Parr At 05:34 AM 6/10/01 -0400, you wrote: >FWD: >Date: Sun, 27 May 2001 19:58:33 EDT >From: DaneBowen@aol.com >To: ORANGEBURGH_SC-L@rootsweb.com >Message-ID: <8a.73394ed.2842eea9@aol.com> >Subject: [ORANGEBURGH_SC] Fwd: [SCKERSHA-L] Kirkland Ancestors > >There appears to be a lot of material at the DAR Archives in Camden, SC (on >Richard KIRKLAND). > > > >Your use of Yahoo!
