Bio
More recent surnames on my mother's side are Jordan, Farmer, Page, Craig, and Hoffhines. I've found lineage to Germany (Cheeseman back to 1825, Hoffhine(s)/Hofheintz back to 1594, Good/Guth back to 1635, Bear back to 1700, Stoneburner/Steinbrenner back to 1539), and Scotland (Craig back to 1716, McGhee/MacGregor back to 533 AD, Lackey back to 1045).
More recent surnames on my father's side are Kirby, Kerby, Trent, Smith, Powell, Cole, Isaacs, and Lainhart. I've found lineage to England (Powell's back to 1557, Isaacs back to 1650, Pratt, Love/Lane back to 1626, Hubbard back to 1535, Scarfe back to 1640, Allen back to 1474, Rose possibly back to 130 BC), Germany (Lainhart back to 1650), Scotland (Isaake back to 1865), and a combination of Irish, Scottish, English, and Swedish Johnson's dating back to 792 AD.
I've had no luck finding the birth father of William Larkin Kerby/Kirby (1882-1948) to research my paternal lineage on this side. William, known as "Larkin", is buried at Kerby Knob Baptist Church in McKee, KY with his wife Rebecca Trent (1883-1950). Larkin's mother was Nancy Ann Powell Kirby (1842-1921) and she was buried in Berea Cemetery in Berea, KY. She'd been married to John Riley Kirby (1843–1879) and had children with him, but Larkin was born 3 years after John Kirby died. Larkin was my great-grandfather. If anyone has information about Larkin's biological father, I'd love to hear from you!
