Email: promus1899{at}verizon.net
I am trying to get past Levi Kirk, born January 19,1801, I believe somewhere in Maryland. His parents are eluding me to this point. Levi married Elizabeth Gray, born in Delaware, in 1829. They were married by a Rev. Barrett. This information is documented. The 1850 census has him living in North East. His name is listed as "William" but we know this is Levi since the ages and names of the children living with them at the time are all correct. In addition, his daughter, Sarah, who married John Roberts, is listed just above him in the census; though her age is incorrect. Levi eventually wound up in Chesapeake City, where he was the bridge tender. His son, John Wesley Kirk, and his grandson (John's son) Howard Wilbur Kirk, were pilots on the C and D Canal. Howard, my grandfather, moved to Philadelphia and, in 1901, to Delanco, New Jersey. Levi is buried, along with his wife Elizabeth, in the Bethel Cemetery in Chesapeake City. His tombstone is inscribed, Captain Levi Kirk. However, it is a family tradition for some to use their middle names instead of their first. I had two uncles and two aunts who did just that. Thus, it may be possible that Levi may have been christened, "William Levi". I would sure like to solve the puzzle of his parents.
