I am researching Thomas KIRBY (b1725) who in 1755 md. Elizabeth (b1738). they had ch John, William, Mary, Robert, Elizabeth, Sarah and Thomas. from among what I have found, Thomas was a carpenter and they lived in Monmouth Co, NJ, near Assanpink (or Sanpink) Brook and Empty Box Brook. who were his parents? is he connected/related to Thomas KIRBY who md. Rachel HANCE of Shrewsbury and if so, how? does he connect to Richard of Dartmouth? any input or thoughts are welcome! I'm too stubborn to consider this one a brick wall...I've only been stuck there about 5 years! :) thanks kirby heard kirbz@netmcr.com
