A Kirby Family Record Some descendants of John Terrell Kirby and some ancestry of associated families-Bohannon, Haynie, Lipscomb, Posey, Terrell, and Wilkins Compiled by Terrell Marshall Sr. 2/26/2015 A Kirby Family Record – 2 Compiler’s Note The within Kirby Family Record was prepared by Terrell Marshall Sr. through correspondence with members of the family, and completed in 1953. It begins with the grandparents of John Terrell Kirby and Lavana Bohannon and continues through the fifth generation. Only descendants in a direct line from John Terrell Kirby are shown and the arrangement shows all descendants of each of his children. The second section contains ancestral data as to the Bohannon, Haynie, Lipscomb, Posey, Terrell, and Wilkins families as provided by my grandmother, May Kirby Thomas. A Kirby Family Record – 3 Editor’s Note My grandfather (Terrell Marshall Sr.) spent many hours gathering data, corresponding with relatives, and compiling the genealogical information that his grandmother (hereinafter referred to as MKT) had accumulated over the years. My grandfather, a lawyer, was a very methodical person and my belief is that the information he has gathered about current generations (i.e. current in the 1920s to 1950s) is quite accurate. Some of the ancestry information is suspect (and I have tried to comment on that so as not to have the reader take away any false impressions as to its accuracy). This information may provide no new information to the reader, but I felt I owed it to my grandfather to put this information in the public domain. I have tried to add some dates to persons who may have died since he originally “completed” this information, but was not able to find the information (or the time) to do it for everyone. Anyone for whom I know no date of death fell victim to the privatizer algorithm of my genealogy program. I debated filling in much more information than what was not known 60+ years ago, but then I would probably die before I completed my Grandfather’s accumulation of genealogical information (no matter how inconsequential it might be) and, besides, others have done work that is more complete. To paraphrase a saying: “it is better to have printed and lost then never to have printed at all”. I give permission to any persons who wish to use any of the within information that we have originated, for personal use only, understanding that they should attempt to verify what they can. Note: any notes of mine look something like “Ed. note:”. Terrell Marshall III (completed March 2015) Current email: [email protected] P.S. After completing my notes on this accumulation of information I find that I intruded more than I had expected as I revisited the information and compared it to somewhat more current knowledge on some of the ancestral lines enclosed within.
