Seeking information on the family of John P. Kirby/Kerby b. ca. 1804 N.C. married to a Elizabeth Bailey. I believe the Kirby/Kerby family was in Overton Co., TN. in the 1800's and then moved to White Co., TN. 1840s-50s. There are several Kerbys on the 1830 census-William Kerby- & William Kerby,Jr.-John Kerby, Sr.-Jesse Kerby, Richard Kerby, Sr.-Andrew Kerby, Jr. and on the 1840 census-John Kerby, Jr. & John Kirby, Jr.-Rueben Kirby. It has been suggest that my John P. Kirby/Kerby's middle name might be Porter and maybe relatived to a Sarah Kerby who was married to a George Lewis from Wilkes Co., N.C. Sarah had two known brothers John & William. John was married to a Sinthey (Cynthia) Smith in Wilkes Co., N.C. in 1794. Sarah & her husband came to Overton Co., Tn. ca. 1812. They also had a son, John Porter Lewis. Would anyone have any information on the Kerby/Kirby families of Overton Co., TN. Cindy Kirby White Texas
