hi, Joyce thank you so much for the lookup/response. I know the list has kept you busy the last few days! I truly appreciate your generosity of time & effort. I would be interested in what the refugees book may list on Benjamin & Caleb KIRBY [well, Daniel too, I suppose] as it might help me identify the different families. my ancestor Thomas was in NJ by 1765 but I still don't know 'from where' nor who his siblings or parents might be... maybe some light might be shed? thank you again. kirby in NC kirbz@northstate.net
