This Van Kirk family has some ties into my family. Archie R. Van Kirk (son of James Clinton Van Kirk) m Gladys Helen Kroll (dau of William F Kroll, Jr. I have some limited information about this family group. Your outline shows more Van Kirks than I have in my data, but I may have some info you don't have. I'd be happy to exchange info with you, perhaps as gedcoms.
