I LOSE JAMES KIRK IN THE 1860 CENSUS. HE LIKELY ENTERED THE CIVIL WAR. I FIND ONE JAMES KIRK IN THE LIST OF TH 15TH CONFEDERATE CALVARY, 15TH REGIMENT, COMPANY H, RANK OF PRIVATE. I THINK HIS MIDDLE INITIAL WAS 'W'. HE WAS MARRIED TO AMANDA COCHRAN KIRK, CHILD NAMED GEORGE, WHO IS POSSIBLY MY GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER. AMANDA IS SHOWN IN 1890 DATABASE OF MS VETERANS SCHEDULE. I WILL APPRECIATE ANY HELP IN DETERMINING THIS MAN'S HISTORY. HE ONCE LIVED IN LAFAYETTE COUNTY, MS. AND AROUND GRENADA, MS. WITH THE COCHRANS. I ALSO HAVE SEEN A J. W. KIRK IN THE MISSISSIPPI CIVIL WAR LISTS. IF HE WAS KILLED, AMANDA MAY HAVE MARRIED AGAIN. SHE DOES NOT SHOW IN A CENSUS AFTER 1870, WHERE SHE AND HER CHILDREN WERE LIVING IN GRENADA COUNTY, MS. WITH HER PARENTS. IF ANYONE CAN HELP, PLEASE EMAIL ME.
