Hi, There was a John KIRK in Hall Co in the 1820s and 1830s. This is from "Families of Hall Co, 1817-1849": March 21, 1827 he made a purchase at Andoc's Store January 8, 1828 he made another purchase at Andoc's Store He appears on the p. 119 of 1830 Hall Co census. He appears as a Hall Co winner in the 1832 Gold Land Lottery. I hope this helps.

Surnames: KIRK Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4c.2ADE/1649 Message Board Post: Am looking for a John Kirk, born about 1790 in NC. He moves to GA in the early 1810s (possibly Hall or Jackson counties). The name also shows in a Gwinett county record, but I'm not sure if that's the same guy. Has ten children by his first wife (name unknown)--Eliza, Susan, Thomas, Mary, Robert, John Jr, Andrew Jackson, Melissa, Francis (Frank), and Jasper. Moves to Cobb county in 1837, marries an Emily Eubanks, and then has 7 kids by her--Malinda, Lucinda, Julia Ann, James, Martha, Samantha Emily, and Laura Elizabeth (there must not have been much to do after dark back then!). John and Emily both die in late 1864, soon after Sherman moves through Cobb county (would love to know more about this episode also). Any help would be appreciated.
