The Kirks of Cecil and Chester Counties

Journey through time with author L. Harvey Kirk III as he explores the Kirk family-- its origin, descendants, occupations, businesses, and residences-- and its impact on Cecil County, Maryland and Chester County, Pennsylvania. Harvey Kirk will trace the Kirks from its earliest documented family members in England in 1658, through the North of Ireland and on to America... first to the Wilmington, Delaware area in 1688, and then subsequent family members' journey into our region as early as 1712. Properties throughout Cecil and Chester Counties will be discussed, stretching from Cecil County areas such as Blue Ball, Calvert, Rising Sun, Farmington, and College Green to Nottingham and Oxford, Pennsylvania. Family names familiar to our area and intertwined with the Kirk family will be included in the presentation: Brown, Gatchell, Haines, Hughes, England, and Reynolds.
