Researching Kirk and Johns(t)on in Lancaster County, South Carolina.  Am =
particularly interested in locating family connections for Grace =
Johns(t)on born in 1769 and died in 1858 (both Lancaster County).  =
Suspect her family's roots may have been across the border in NC.  =
Genealogy research notes in Lancaster suggest that she may have had a =
brother named Eli.  Grace was married to Mathew Kirk in 1787.  They had =
eight surviving children.  They are buried in the old Shiloh ARP =
Cemetery at Lancaster and are my great-great-great grandparents.  =
Related names include Shaver, Countryman, and Harper among others.  =
Mathew had two brothers in the US, John (older) and Robert.  The three =
immigrated from Ballymoney, Antrim, on the James and Mary out of Larne =
in 1772 with the Rev. William Martin's party.  John married a Montgomery =
and moved to Tennessee.  Robert was married -- maybe twice?  His son =

time.  Am also looking for more information about Robert.  Who were his =
wive(s) -- one was named Agness -------- ?  The same genealogical notes =
say that he was rumored to have married a Cureton.  Mathew and Grace's =
