Hi Kirby, How are you? I see Benj. Kirby listed on the Pay Rolls (Onderdonk's "Revolutionary Incidents, Queen's County")(G. 24-28. See also G. 40 for Queen's Co. The List appears among Co. Josiah Smith's Papers in the Suffolk co. Historical Soc. at Riverhead.) Caleb Kirby is listed on the payroll of Capt. Richard Manee's Co. Militia,in Col. Josiah Smith's Regiment, in Queen's Co. Daniel Kirby is listed as signer of the Declaration signed by Inhabitants of Queens DCo., NY, Jan. 19, 1776. Hope that helps some. Sorry, I guess there isn't any Bio info for Kirby. :-) Good luck with your research.

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
