Good Afternoon, I am researching my Kirkland ancestors. We know there were Kirkland families in several SC counties including Newberry County. If you will please indulge me, I'll show my 'direct' Kirkland line in case others are researching these families. Please take a look and if you see a familiar name, let's share and compare notes :-) Regards, Nancy E Parr ============================================== 1-Unknown Kirkland, b @ 1630 Scotland 2-Richard Kirkland, b. @ 1670 Anna Arundle Co., MD; d.@1742 Fairfax Co., Va; married @1690 to Mary Snowden/Snoden . 3-Richard Kirkland (a/k/a Richard Snowden Kirkland, Sr); b @1700 ; married Mary Brown. 4-Richard Kirkland (a/k/a/ Richard Snowden Kirkland, Jr); b @1723, d 1788 Effingham Co., Ga; married @ 1748 to Elizabeth Sibbel Grosse. 5-Richard Kirkland, born @1765 in SC (Orangeburg Co possibly?); d 1804 Bulloch Co., Ga; married before 1786 in Burke Co., Ga to Hester Walker (some say Walker is NOT her last name). 6-Joshua Kirkland, b between 1797-1803, Bulloch Co., Ga; d 1880 Coffee Co., Ga; married before 1845 Madison Co., Fl to Sarah 'Sallie' Fender of Beaufort Dist, SC. 7-William Franklin Kirkland, b 3-11-1847 Jefferson Co., Fl, d 11-3-1924 Clinch Co., Ga; married on 12-24-1865 Berrien (now Lanier) Co., Ga to Sarah Newbern. 8-Pearlie Kirkland, b 3-2-1875 Echols Co., Ga; d 1-12-1946 Clinch Co., Ga; married on 1-14-1892 in Clinch Co., Ga to Matthew Tomlinson. 9-Willie Alice Tomlinson, b 11-7-1892 Clinch Co., Ga; d 1-26-1979 Lowndes Co., Ga; married on 7-11-1909 in Clinch Co., Ga to Charlton Augustus Fiveash.
