Page 326 paper shows that John Kirby, in all probability, came from Rowington in Warwickshire, England and that his children believed a considerable estate in Warwickshire rightfully belonged to his heirs. Rowington is situated about 5 miles from the town and castle of Warwick. It is possible that the ancestors of the New England Kirbys descended from Sir John Kirkby, whose daughter, Matilda, married William Beauchamp, the first Earl of Warwick of that family. (See “Visitations of Yorkshire,” p.245). There is a suggestion of good family descent in the provision made by John Kirby of Middletown in his will that two portions of his estate “should not be sold out of the blood” but should “pertain to some of my children or children's children to the end of the world.” This singular provision, especially its peculiar wording, is not easily intelligible without the presupposition that the testator was conscious of descent from a family of English gentry, and so was both proud of his “blood” and familiar with the entail of landed estate. The Kirbys of New England form a small family group - for both John of Middletown and Joseph of Hartford had but one grandson, and Richard of Sandwich had only two grandsons (whose descendants have been fairly traced) to perpetuate the name of Kirby ... About ½ of the descendants of John Kirby of Middletown and the same proportion of the known descendants of Joseph Kirby of Hartford, able to bear arms, were Revolutionary Soldiers. The descendants of Richard Kirby of Sandwich were mostly Quakers. Nevertheless, four of his descendants, out of the limited number able to take up arms, served as soldiers during the Revolution. In the War of 1812, and in the Civil War, a large proportion of the Kirbys of New England descent were engaged, and served with some distinction. Nor have they been without influence in time of peace. One of the very first in New England to espouse the cause of the Quakers was Richard Kirby of Sandwich, and the first organized effort in behalf of temperance was made by Ephraim Kirby of Litchfield, Ohio.
Pettys Line of Descent from Richard Kirby, Sr. Page 327 [note: This chart is based on the material in NWP's genealogical work papers (The Kirby's of New England) and for simplicity includes only the direct line of descent from Richard Kirby, Sr., to Norman W. Pettys. It excludes scores of relatives in each generation from whom we are not directly descended. Here is how to understand it: the first four lines show that we start with 1. Richard Kirby, Sr. and that he married (shown by symbol +) Jane. Their child was 2. Richard Kirby who married Patience Gifford, and so on.] 1Richard Kirby, Sr. ( b.? - d. bef. 1688) +Jane 2 Richard Kirby (bef. 1638 - bef. 1720) +Patience Gifford 3 Robert Kirby (1674 - 1757) +Rebecca Potter ( b.? - d. bef. 1773) 4 Nathaniel Kirby (b.?- d. 1748) +Abigail Russell (1712 - 1747) 5 Wesson Kirby (1731 - 1798) +Hannah White (1731 - 1819) 6 Jonathan Kirby (1765 - 1798) +Peace Howland (1768 - d.?) 7 Hannah Kirby (1790 - 1842) +Job Pettys (c. 1791 - 1871) 8 Daniel Charles Pettys (1810 - 1867) +Mary Louisa Snyder (1825 - 1879) 9 William Howland Pettys (1850 - 1907) +Daisy Guthman (1880 - 1948) 10 Norman William Pettys, Sr. (1904 - 1985)
