Melody and Shirley, I am very interested in pursuing these folks further :-) I descend from Joshua Kirkland (and wife Sarah Fender) through their son William Franklin Kirkland (3-11-1847/11-3-1924) who was brother to the Joshua Kirkland, Jr. in question. As some of you may know, Joshua Kirkland (Sr) was married twice. His first wife was Harriet Lee; they had 5 children. We know that Joshua later married Sarah Fender and they had 8 children including William Franklin and Joshua Jr, It was only a few years ago that I 'found' Harriet Lee and any information on her children. We know that she never remarried and that she died 6-29-1869. Naturally any of us who descend from Joshua and Sarah Fender want further information on any other wives of Joshua. I looked in my database and I don't find a Lillie Kirkland. Like Melody, I show Mary Kirkland, daughter of Joshua Jr and Hester Lott. Mary married Manning Spivey on 7-4-1906 in Coffee CO., Ga. I have her date of birth as 1-15-1888. Do you think it possible that someone has mistaken the 'story' of Joshua Sr's two wives somehow? Of course, this presents more questions because I honestly don't have the other children you are showing as siblings for Lillie. I might have created more confusion by sending this in; maybe not :-) If you have further information, I'd be most interested. Do you perhaps have a date of birth on your Lillie? This might help us to place her better. Regards, Nancy E Parr
