He was born in 1770 and lived in Wilkes Co., NC. Do you know your William Kirby's date of birth or his middle name/initial? Did you ever get an answer in regards to the question of the Kirby house fire? Just curious - do you happen to know the name of your William's sister? We are stuck on our James William. Wishing you well in your search. a Texas Kirby
