  • Notes 
    • I have not put John's supposed middle name yet, due to the fact that I have yet to find any documentation to prove the middle name yet. John's death certificate states the incorrect mother. The mother that is mentioned is his grandmother.
      John Drennen Kirkwood, mentioned in the family last named, and who died in 1905, near Matthews, in Grant County. Reared in Fayette County, he became a skilled workman as a carpenter and builder, a trade he followed for a number of years. In 1859, he settled in Grant County, where he bought some land near Matthews. Then by his active management and ability he secured two hundred and forty acres for himself in Jefferson Township. Thus practically all his attention after he came to Grant County was given to agriculture, and in his time he was known as one of the most successful men in Jefferson Township. In politics, like the majority of the Kirkwood's, he was a Democrat. Though he and his wife held to no church, he was in every sense a Christian. John D. Kirkwood was married in Fayette County to Mrs. Ruth (Crawford) Burgess. She was born in Fayette County in 1824, and died in Jefferson Township of Grant County, December 16, 1902. By her first marriage to Israel Burgess there were two daughters. To the marriage of John Drennen Kirkwood and Mrs. Burgess were born two sons: Frank Howard and Brooks.
