Kerby Family in America
The earliest generation (or generations) of the KERBY/KIRBY family in America are not clearly documented, with attempts to identify the parents of John KERBY (d. 1773) of Pittsylvania Co., VA giving in several proposals. The outline below is shared by Tracee Kirby after her review of available records, with Henry KERBY being the immigrant ancestor of this Kerby line. However, comments regarding this compilation or any alternative are welcome.
Alternative proposals for the parents of John KERBY (1698-1773) have been made by others. One suggestion is that he was one of 4 or more children of Richard KIRBY and Elizabeth. Richard lived in Goochland Co., VA where land grants were recorded Sep. 8, 1730 and Jul. 25, 1741, and a deed recorded Aug. 21, 1744. By 1749 he was in Lunenburg Co., in present Halifax Co., VA area, and was last mentioned in records of South River Monthly Meeting of the Quakers on Apr. 21, 1759.
Another suggestion is that John KERBY was one of 13 children of Robert KIRBY (b. May 1, 1662, New Pocoson, York Co., VA; d. Apr. 25, 1727, Charles Parish, York Co., VA) and Catherine CLARK-TOMPKINS (b. about 1672, VA; d. May 30, 1745, Charles Parish, York Co., VA), daughter of John CLARK and step-daughter of Humphrey TOMPKINS. The fifth child of Robert and Catherine was John KIRBY (b. Jul. 19, 1698, York Co., VA). No evidence has been seen to support this alternative line. Any document showing that John, son of Robert was in Halifax Co., VA would be welcomed.
