    Notes:

    MEMOIRS

    W. R. Kirk Journal, 1866.

    He emigrated to America in 1773 when he was thirteen years old: He was the youngest of the four sons of James Kirk. He came through the port of Charles Town, SC as it was known in those days. Most likely were members of the Rev. William Martin's group of Seceders. These brothers arrived with the group of protestant settlers brought over by the Rev. William Martin, probably on the Lord Dunluce. They landed in Charles' Town (Charleston), the winter of 1772-3. There is no passenger list but there is a record of persons receiving land grants from the Colonial Council. John was the only one old enough to receive land in his own name.

    According to the book, "Scotch-Irish Migration to South Carolina, 1772 (Rev. William Martin and his five Shiploads of Settlers)" John Kirk's [probably Matthew's older brother] land grant of 100 acres is recorded in Platt Folder 1040; 11 Dec. 1772; in Colleton Co., on the northwest fork of Long Cane Creek; bordering John Tynes, Andrew McAlaster, John Hunt, as vacant land; surveyed 25 March 1773, probably in Abbeville County, S.C. The warrants for the land were prepared on Dec. 11, but not issued, and were held until the arrival of Rev. Martin. John Kirk declared himself a "poor Protestant" unable to pay the 5 pounds filing fee for the land. The land was thus, given free.

    Since the land was assigned to John on 11 Dec. 1772, he probably arrived on the ship, 'James and Mary' on October 22, 1772. Because of smallpox on board the ship, they had to lay in quarantine off Sullivan's Island for 6 weeks. This would put him ashore in the first week of December. His land warrant was assigned on 11 Dec. The December 1, 1772 issue of the Council Journal (Charleston) notes the arrival of immigrants from Ireland, and although no ship was mentioned, it was the James and Mary by all accounts. All other Irish immigrants having been accounted for at that time. The other ships arrived after Dec. 11: The Pennsylvania Farmer on Dec. 19 - Belfast; the Lord Dunluce (with Rev. Martin) on Dec. 20 - Larne; the Hopewell on Dec. 22 - Belfast; and the Free Mason on Dec. 22 - Newry. The James and Mary sailed from Larne on Aug. 25, 1772.

    It is possible the family was originally from the Dumfriesshire or Ayrshire areas of lowland Scotland.
